Re: Entry Fee Increase---hurting teams

I'll note, again, that Long Island is hardly rural. Brief research reveals that Nassau and Suffolk counties alone have a population of 2.7 million between them. That isn't counting Brooklyn and Queens. We'll assume 10 of your teams are in Suffolk, however. That's a population of 1.4 million in an area of 911 sq. mi. Given 10 teams, that's a base of 140,000 people per team in an area of 91 sq. mi.

Your numbers are probably skewed. I really doubt that the population of Long Island is that evenly distrubuted. In fact it can't be. The majority of people probably reside closer to Nassau than Suffolk.

As an aside, I note that it appears the median houshold income around Long Island is about twice that of Ponca City.

That mainly relates to the fact that everything in Long Island is twice as expensive as it is in Ponca City. It's proximity to the city makes it the prime place for every single bussiness to rip everyone off. Also the only major company (Lockhead Martin??) on Long Island is sponsoring all of the teams last I knew.
