What would the NLF have to do with it? It's two weeks after the WS anyway. Maybe the WS location is not ideal, but I'd imagine the facility they'll be playing at will be top notch. Most of us spend enough time and money traveling up and down the mid-atlantic region May-July so what's the difference really, airfare? Last time I checked, MD, DE and NC weren't exactly top tourist destinations. Hotels in the area are more than reasonable (if not cheaper). You go for 3-4 nights, rent a car for a few days and watch some good teams compete. Isn't part of this about the overall experience for the boys? Cost is a cop-out excuse given the top clubs are printing money and could help subsidize if they wanted to. Or, did you ever hear of the word fundraising? Wow, what a concept that would be right? People would actually have to do something... imagine that? Most of the people complaining are the ones who spend thousands outfitting themselves in their team gear so they look like a walking billboard on the sideline, while their kid sits on the bench. Who cares if those teams choose to not go, their loss.
I look forward to seeing you in MD forum chastising all of the DMV teams who choose not to go year in and year out.
I’m sure they’ll also appreciate you telling them how to spend their money.
Look at this as an opportunity. You have two decent teams out of the way. Seize the day, go win the World Series. It might help with getting kids into your child’s program in the future.
