Still costs more, makes road trips for fans nigh on impossible, and makes it more difficult to watch divisional games due to the time difference. It's not crippling, but it's a definite competitive disadvantage.

Travel costs for the team might be marginally more expensive for longer flights, but not significantly so.

non factor. Outside of the Rangers series in Arlington, any road trip for Astros fans requires flying and over night stay. Costs of flights and hotels vary, and its not automatically cheaper for shorter flights btw. I've paid more to fly from Houston to Chicago than to SF before. Hotels in Anehiem are going to be about the same as hotels in Chicago.

It amounts to about 12 extra WC games a year, no big deal. A bigger issue for fans watching Astros games is that FSN, which broadcasts Astros games, is not on DirecTV and has at times gone off of Comcast in some kind of pissing war between the companies.
