Take the LALtoday sports survey

We’re interested in knowing if how you feel about local sports. This survey will help us decide how and what we cover.

Autumn is full of crisp falling leaves, Halloween fun, and pumpkin spice lattes. And here in Lakeland, fall is sports season. Professional football kicked off, basketball is traveling onto our calendars, the NHL season is returning bar down, and the MiLB playoffs are sliding into home.

We want to make sure that you’re catching all the sports coverage you need to join the conversation. As the fall season gets going, what kind of sports content do you want to see in LALtoday?

Grab your foam finger and tell us by filling out this survey. You’ll be entered in a drawing for a chance to score big with team-branded swag up to $100 in value.
