MLL
The MLL used to be an organization that was referred to as the "weekend Warriors" which were people who had 9-5 jobs during the week, then on the weekend would come together and play lacrosse.
Now, for some Lacrosse has become a full time job in the MLL. Such as Paul Rabil, the MLL's first lacrosse only millionaire.

How to grow the game through out America
After researching, I believe that the best way to grow the game is get more youth involved. To do that, start more youth leagues and programs throughout America, specifically the west and south. So that places who don't really know lacrosse can get exposed to the game, and grow it everywhere.
