Philadelphia Roadies

Post by Dan K » Sun Feb 24, 2008 6:12 pm

The MLL has taken over the Philadelphia Barrage and will operate the franchise as a "road team" playing its 2008 home schedule in prospective MLL cities. Raleigh-Durham, St. Louis, Dallas Portland and Virginia Beach are possibilities.

They had no fans?

So I'd rather spend a quarter of an ABA franchise to repair my car, as opposed to spending a franchise and a half to get a new car that might have some planned obsolescence that causes it to break down 5 days after the end of the warranty period.

Does ANY lacrosse team in the US have any fans?

I hope they play one of those "home" games in Portland like they are going to do in Cary, NC. I'd be there with my kids.

Just that it'll be at Hillsboro Stadium, not downtown... which probably makes sense. This sport probably belongs out in Washington County in a smaller stadium.

That's excellent news! Thanks for the heads-up.

So what will happen to this team for 2009? Has anyone heard anything? The league is running out of time if they plan to relocate. If they do, I wonder if it will be to the West so that the conferences will be even at 5 teams apiece.
