Our Home Venues
National Sports Center (NSC) — Blaine
1750 105th Ave NE, Blaine, MN 55449Open in Maps

The campus is huge: most outdoor fields sit north of 105th Ave NE, between 105th and 109th. Check the field number on your schedule before you go, and use the NSC’s own campus maps: https://nscsports.org/maps/

Away Games (GNLL)
BYLA plays in the Great Northern Lacrosse League (GNLL), run by Homegrown Lacrosse. Unlike a single home field, GNLL youth games are played at host sites around the Twin Cities — in the spring leagues, each association takes turns hosting a day of games, so your away location changes from week to week.
How to find your away game:
- Check your team’s schedule — the Schedule page on this site and the Tourney Machine app carry the game location for every game. Always confirm there before you drive; host sites can change.
- League schedules, standings, and season details live on the GNLL pages at Homegrown Lacrosse:
- Boys Spring Youth League: https://www.homegrownlacrosse.org/gnllspring
- Girls Spring Youth League: https://www.homegrownlacrosse.org/girlsspringfield
- Girls Fall Youth League: https://www.homegrownlacrosse.org/girlsyouthfall
