As I have stated there are advantages in this structure for MI teams and disadvantages for them as well.
Disadvantages there... Non-MI teams get MORE than 8 hours of shared shop/field/venue time. Practice day starts before 9:00 AM and ends at 8:00 PM.

The advantage could go either way in that case.
