That's a good point. As is thinking about logistics of getting players to and from the team quickly. I know charters, etc. But you want to get them there in a timely manner for meetings, shootarounds, etc.

In that vain...Lafayette, Baton Rouge, or Biloxi make the most sense to me.

I do hope that one day we can increase our local television footprint - We have good guys on the TV but the presentation is so bleh

I don't know if it's all Fox Sportses, but I do believe the stuff we have is repackaged hand me downs the other Fox Sports in the regions use like the Mavs and Spurs. The pre and half time show comes out of Dallas most of the time IIRC. So I would assume we're stuck with that.

Flying is not the difficulty. They'll never need a guy night of. It's about expanding the viewership and fan base. Shreveport could do that. As could Biloxi or Jackson. Ideally you want fans who can not only watch but also come to games. Biloxi is possible for that.

it wouldn't be too bad IMHO.

Red Claws-Celtics 2hr drive
Bayhawks-Magic REALLY far, preivously it was philly/cleveland and that is a 6.5 and 2hr drive respectively
Skyforce-heat REALLY far
Mad Ants-Pacers 2hr drive
Drive-Pistons 2.5hr drive
Energy-Grizzlies really far
Vipers-Rockets 5 hours
Bighorns-Kings really far
Warriors-Warriors 2hr drive

some are close, some are pretty far in itself so shreveport could be a legit spot, you grab the attention of monroe/south AR too
