The odds of any western Canadian team joining the American Association are next to nil. The only way it would happen would be for 2 or more teams to be willing to subsidize the travel expenses of the clubs as happened when they first tried (and then failed) in the NoL. It is unlikely that even the o...

RE: Chicago The analysis from the late 90s was that the Chicago area could successfully support 5 indy franchies. It's at that capacity with the addition of Zion/Lake County (not counting Kane County or Rockford which is nearly part of the of the extended Chicago area). There have been rumblings abo...

Omaha Flame and the NABL
If you want some "new" news, check out the Omaha Flame website where they've posted some information about how they've landed the NABL championship series. The NABL league site doesn't list it as an 8-game series but the Flame say it will be. That, of course, assumes they finally get to oc...

Never confuse technical difficulties with a website as a sign of anything more than that. Most teams and leagues have no one on their staff who can handle these sorts of problems --if they're aware of them or not. Whatever the problem was it was with PointStreak, not the NABL. The NABL's problems cu...

Keep in mind that: 1. Joliet (city and possible new owners) want to go to the FL. 2. Lake County still doesn't have a permanent stadium 3. Schaumburg has a huge debt that's now supposedly structured as a Lien 4. The ULB lost its top franchise (Amarillo) and another location (Laredo) and is now down ...

Big news coming
This week or next there are major announcements expected regarding the future of the NoL. Things are likely to be very different next year.

You're correct that the LC average at Zion for the games 3,410 is pretty good. But it comes in at #22 of the 56 indy teams (based upon 2009 attendance figures). Hardly head and shoulders over the majority. Then again, this season's figures are likely to be significantly lower across the board (every...
