Future Markets???

[Sphinx]

With Wheeling coming on board where else is the CIFL looking to set up shop? Here are a few thoughts.....well places. Look at the travel cost and potential fan base it makes sence.
FYI: I have been in the business for about 5 years now so I'm not just a fan out there makin **** up. Maybe all this has already been talked about if so no big deal if it hasn't I hope I can spark some conversation.

Danbury CT (Danbury Ice Arena) 2500-3000
-Local rival for New England
-has had good minor league sports there (despite over paying them)
-see Danbury Trashers

West Orange NJ (Richard J. Codey Arena) 2500-3000
-Local rival for LHV and the Revs
-great building and fan base

Rome NY (JFK Civic Arena) 3000
-Untested market but worth a shot as a bridge city

Jamestown NY (Jamestown Savings Bank Arena) 3000
-Nice market (Casino down the road)
-Full modern areana with all the bells and whistels

Johnstown PA (Cambria County War Memorial Arena) 4000
-May be a tough sell but with LOCAL ownership could work
-Low travel costs for team is placed in right division
-AIFA future in doubt
-Great history of indoor football...at least on the field

First, why? Very few teams have done the existing markets right, why open new ones?

Second...
Johnstown, has had a team for years, up until this one. They've shown that they aren't really supporting it. Could a new group turn it around? Maybe... but the citizens have heard that from the last three ownership groups (at least) and nothing has changed. If it were me, I'd have lost my patience for it.

Jamestown is a hockey arena first and foremost, and the ceiling is too low for indoor football.

I'ver never heard too much about the other three so I'm open to hearing about them...

The ONLY reason the J-Dogs left was that they had no other options but Shiver, and were absolutely unwilling to deal with her.

If the Bonecrushers don't fold, I would not be surprised if the CIFL trys to get a team in Madison, WI
