Plus, traffic.
Yeah. But the arena where the Maine Red Claws plays is dilapidated.
The roof leaks, to the point that games have to be cancelled.
If Worcester can come up with a better venue, then Hasta La Bye Bye.
Probably get a bigger audience, as well.

Would be a shorter commute between Worcester and Boston for the players...

That's a big venue = 14,800. IDK if they can get that. It's an existing place, though.

Definitely. They could play 2 games in the same day.

Red Claws will sell out all year if Tacko plays for them....which is likely. Bad time to sell.

Actually a good time to sell, in that there is such optimism and upside. But this doesn't involve the purchase of the team, it is a matter of trying to convince the C's, as the impending team owner, to move to another location. It's basically an hour, as opposed to two hour, drive. I actually think that could make a decent amount of difference for team shuttles and practices. I always thought it would make sense to use some G-league players in tuning up and training NBA players. But I suppose there could be concern about it cutting into the big team's ticket sales and demand.

Worcester is really coming on. Only in part because it is a cheaper housing option, with still an urban vibe, within commuting distance to Boston.

Portland has the Cumberland County Civic Center. They can always move there if the Expo sucks.

It's nice but the state is broke and with the P-Bruins and Providence basketball, scheduling another team in the winter would be logistically very difficult.

Worcester would seem to be a developmental city with the Sox AAA affiliate Woosoxs and the Celts Woo C's or a better name if such a thing exists and Holy Cross college Which developed Tommy and Cousey.
