The game will begin at 1 pm to accommodate Patriots fans.
The New England Black Wolves have moved the start time of Sunday’s game with the Rochester Knighthawks up to 1 pm.
The earlier faceoff allows Black Wolves fans to catch the start of the AFC Championship game between the New England Patriots and Jacksonville Jaguars. That game begins at 3:05 pm.
“New England sports fans are some of the most passionate in the world,” Mohegan Sun Vice President of Sports Amber Cox said. “This earlier start time allows our growing and loyal fan base to enjoy an important East Division game with Rochester before moving on to bars or restaurants all over Mohegan Sun to watch the Patriots – including former lacrosse star and honorary Black Wolf Chris Hogan – in the AFC Championship game.”
Cox also thanked the Knighthawks and the National Lacrosse League.
“On behalf of our Black Wolves fans with a vested interest in the Patriots, we appreciate the willingness of Rochester and the NLL to accommodate this request,” she said.
