An "Instant Classic" means the games will be broadcasted on the ESPN Classic channel like other amazing games in sports history. Lacrosse is a sport played by people who know how to persevere when an obstacle approaches. Hurricane Irene was a Texas sized obstacle, yet, the MLL played the games as scheduled.
