The '''Long Island Lizards''' are a professional [[Lacrosse]] team based in [[Uniondale, New York]]. Since the 2001 season, they have been members of [[Major League Lacrosse]]. They are currently in the Eastern Conference. Prior to 2006, they were in the American Division.

==Franchise history==

== Fashion Island ==

In their inaugural season in 2001, the Lizards split their home games between [[Hofstra Stadium]] and [[EAB Park]](now Citibank Park). For the 2002 season, they used Hofstra Stadium as their home field. As of 2003, the Lizards have played all home contests at [[Mitchel Athletic Complex]], in Uniondale, New York. The Lizards have won American Division championships in 2001, 2002, and 2003, and Major League Lacrosse titles in 2001 and 2003. The team made the playoffs in 2005 as a wildcard despite a losing record.

Hi! I answered your question on the San Mateo talk page. Fasion Island is gone and was replaced by a different kind of mall (open-air). Target, Staples and Toys 'R Us are the big anchors. Home Depot also has a store nearby. The only thing that survived was the ice skating rink. [[User:Schmiteye|Schmiteye]] 06:22, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

The problem with these lists of cards are sourced to nothing, and apparently chosen on the whim of passing editors. This fails [[WP:NPOV]] (as they are someone's unsourced opinions) and [[WP:NOR]] (because they are based on personal interpretation of primary sources).
