1 year agoI think a big part of the hesitation is exponentially increased cost as travel moves from small regional “bus” leagues to more frequent long distance travel. The geographic footprint of Championship and League 1 is coast to coast in both, so it may be a doable change. I’m not sure how moving leagues would affect attendance or revenue. That will probably vary a lot from team to team. For example, if Madison moved up, they wouldn’t be able to increase attendance much without a bigger venue, which may wind up hurting them in the long run. It would be interesting to know the revenue and cost differences between the leagues and teams.
You mean the Pittsburgh Raging Rhinos?
