ABA Seeks to Expand the Pacific Northwest
Published on January 15, 2009 under American Basketball Association (ABA) News Release
Indianapolis, IN. The American Basketball Association (ABA) is interested in expanding into the Pacific Northwest for the 2009-2010 season. "Travel is always a major consideration. We have two great teams set to begin play in 2009 in the state of Washington but we feel that we need at least two more teams to make it feasible and to fit within the ABA travel guidelines," stated ABA CEO Joe Newman.
"Teams from Vancouver BC, Washington, Oregon and Idaho would certainly help the situation. We have set up a special program for the Pacific Northwest that will make it easier and more affordable to own a team there than any other professional sports opportunity. We owe it to our two teams there to do everything possible to maximize their potential in the ABA."
Note: OurSports Central no longer actively covers the American Basketball Association (ABA) as a professional league due in part to its inability to publish and play a schedule and the transitory nature of many of its teams.
