Given what I've read about people's experiences flying with teams I believe the cost alone will cause that option to be ruled out.
Last year our team took a plane to St. Louis, it wasn't actually that expensive. Since we went from Minnesota to St. Louis it only cost $125 a ticket, so if you buy the tickets a little bit in advance it makes sense to fly. We ended up leaving school two hours early on Wednesday and got to St. Louis around 5pm on Wednesday so it actually worked out for our team. I'd recommend looking up the price for the tickets before you rule it out!
