Reflection
Overall, I think Dick's Sporting Goods has only slightly increased their lacrosse merchandise. After visiting on Sunday, December 11, there are many more accessories, such as goggles, balls, and gloves, but there is still a limited number of sticks. The section is overall not very big and is shared with field hockey. However, Sarah stated, "As someone who has never played lacrosse, I could get everything I need to start and even some extra things that I may need from this one place." People also tend to buy more lacrosse things in the spring, which makes sense because that is when the usual season starts. "We tend to get more merchandise in the spring, but we do have lacrosse all year round for indoor season and things like that," said a worker named Kevin. Dick's Sporting Goods is a good place to go for first time lacrosse players, but if you are looking for something more advanced, then it may be a good idea to go to an actual lacrosse store, which are increasing more in Pittsburgh. "I think Dick's is less overwhelming than lacrosse stores, especially if you don't know for sure what you are looking for," said a lacrosse mom, Paivi.
