Message: [QUOTE="IthacaBarrel, post: 2906889, member: 363"] I think you need some success on the court before you really see what the franchise can do. Will always be a football town first but it's tough to be a fan of a franchise that has no history, whose franchise players is demanding a trade and has never had much success. The next 3-4 years will be critical because I think while Gayle Benson is still the owner she will do what she can to keep them there and put a good product out there, what happens as she continues to get older and where the franchise goes next with regard to ownership and location could be a serious question moving forward. I have a tough time believing that if the Pels had a few deep playoff runs that their wouldn't be a spike in attendance and interest. You would think they would be a solid smaller market on paper.
