The owners of the New York Lizards, who had the second-lowest attendance in Major League Lacrosse last year, are hoping that playing games at Icahn Stadium on Randalls Island will attract new fans. The Lizards will play 2 of their 14 regular-season games at Icahn Stadium this season. Their other five home games will be played at Hofstra University in Hempstead, N.Y., where they drew an average of 2,449 fans in the 2012 regular season, ahead of only Hamilton, Ontario, in the eight-team league.
