Message: [QUOTE="MikeSU02, post: 359210, member: 60"] Because it is not a long-term solution. It alienates the local fan base (regardless if YOU personally find them culpable for the lack of attendance). It means we will never have a neutral game there; it will be a road game. If we give up attempting to pull in local and semi-local fans to create a relationship with NYC as a long term solution, we will be giving up more and more of local dollars, support, etc. And what players are going to come play for a team that plays in front of less fans than they did in HS? Because that is what is going to happen. No matter how hard we try and how much money we pump into NYC marketing, we will never, ever be more than a blip on the radar of people's interest in NYC.
