The First 4

The First 4 men's lacrosse invitational was an annual college lacrosse event held in California with the feature event being a double-header involving four NCAA Division I men's lacrosse teams. The event is representative of the recent expansion of the sport far afield from its traditional strongholds of Maryland and New York.[1] The inaugural event took place at the Home Depot Center in Carson, California on March 12, 2005.[2] It drew a crowd of 7,182 spectators.[3] An event was planned for 2009, but cancelled due to a scheduling conflict and never resumed.[4]
