Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Go Lions! The Saint Leo University athletic teams compete at the NCAA Division II level in the Sunshine State conference. Green and gold colors flourish throughout the team's uniforms and fields, but the stands could see more of them. The stands at events are never at full capacity, but there are a decent amount of people in attedance. For a small school, tickets sell rather well, but the type of crowd depends on the sport. For example, the baseball team get alot of support from from local lovers of the game, whereas lacrosse games see a great deal of support from the visiting teams whose proud parents use the excuse of watching their kids' lacrosse games to come enjoy the sun in Florida.

What the athletics really boil down to at SLU is a reason to go out and watch some decent competition on a weeknight or Saturday afternoon. Most of the students go out to support the teams as long as they know the players. If what you want is a big stadium surrounded by rowdy tailgaters, however, Saint Leo may not be your No. 1 choice.

Sports All Time Awesome

School spirit is alive no matter where you go. If you are a Lion you cheer on your fellow Lions. There is no hate towards those who do or don't play sports, everyone gets along very well and they even have the chance for people who don't want to be on a team can still play the sport.

School Spirit

"Apathetic" would be the word that describes most of the school spirit. The students will definitely go out and support their favorite teams and players, but it's rare that you will find anyone painted in gold and green for a game.

Getting Tickets

Tickets are not hard to get for any sporting event. All students get free admission to every game. The lines are not long, and most events never sell out.

Best Place to Take a Walk

The Saint Leo campus is beautiful and serene. Anywhere on campus is a great place to enjoy a nice walk. The best walk you could have is by taking a stroll down to the lake. It gives the best view of the campus and clock tower in the background.

Did You Know? Saint Leo is in the works to get a new athletic team in the future. The athletic department sent out a poll that asked the students what sport would they like to see come to Saint Leo next.
