The Georgia Swarm Celebrate Native Heritage Night at Gas South Arena on Saturday, February 28th 

Georgia Swarm 5 game winning streak

DULUTH, GA (February 20, 2025) – The Georgia Swarm are heating up at the perfect time. 

Riding a five-game winning streak, the Swarm have quickly become one of the hottest teams in the National Lacrosse League. After earning a well-timed bye week this weekend, Georgia will return next weekend in a back to back series against the Philadelphia Wings. The Swarm travels to face the Wings on Friday, February 27, before returning to Gas South Arena for a 7:30 PM ET matchup on Saturday, February 28. 

Saturday night will also mark one of the organization’s most meaningful theme nights of the season — Native Heritage Night: Honoring the Creator’s Game presented by EBCI & Harrah’s Cherokee Casino & Resort. 

The February 28 game is an evening dedicated to recognizing and honoring the Indigenous communities that gifted lacrosse to the world. 

Fans are encouraged to arrive early for a series of educational and cultural experiences, including: 

  • A player-led Q&A featuring Swarm athletes sharing their personal heritage and stories 
  • Cherokee Native speakers discussing culture and history, with opportunities for fan engagement 
  • A live demonstration from a traditional stick maker explaining how wooden lacrosse sticks are crafted 

This year’s celebration will also feature a powerful on-floor tribute. Swarm players will wear custom black jerseys designed by Lyle Thompson, featuring a map of Haudenosaunee territory and a wampum band detail. Game-worn jerseys will be auctioned through Dash Auction (https://fans.winwithdash.com/auctions/georgiaswarm), with retail versions and additional Native Heritage merchandise available for purchase in the arena. Season Ticket Members will also receive a special edition Lyle Thompson Native Heritage Bobblehead. This is an exclusive giveaway to members. Memberships start at only $60. 

Fans attending the game will receive commemorative fan clappers upon entry. The evening will also include vendors, in-game recognition, and a special halftime performance.
