FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) – The National Lacrosse League indoors is expanding for the first time in Texas with plans to create a franchise in Fort Worth next year.
The fourteenth NLL team has no name yet. The Fort Worth club has links to the WNBA Dallas franchise between majority owner B Cameron and managing wife Greg Bibb. Cameron is the main owner and president of the wings, and Bibb is the CEO.
The Fort Worth team will play at Dickie’s Arena, a 14,000-seat venue in the city that opened last year and is expected to be the site of the NCAA Tournament games in two years.
The addition of Fort Worth will give the 34-year-old NLL nine group play stations in the United States, with five in Canada. The 2019–20 league season was interrupted by the pandemic and no plans have been announced for this year’s draft or the birth of the 2020-21 season.
