Message: [QUOTE="CamrnCrz1974, post: 4705316, member: 1052"] Greenville, SC is actually a very intriguing suggestion. First, South Carolina does not have professional sports teams (in terms of major pro teams sports). Interest and infrastructure have been mention as two of the main reasons for the state's lack of pro sports (plus competition from the existence of major universities with huge fan bases in football, men's basketball, etc.; WBB for SC, but not for Clemson). Yet for the past 25 years, the Bon Secours Wellness Arena (the home of multiple minor league and semi-professional teams) in Downtown Greenville has held some major sporting events (e.g., SEC Women's Basketball Tournament, 2017 Men's NCAA Tournament first and second rounds, Clemson men's basketball, etc.) -- and the capacity for basketball is 15,000. In other words, Greenville has the infrastructure. And if Greenville can secure a strong season ticket holder base, the lack of professional sports in the state and the absence of college sports played in the summer could [I][U]help[/U][/I] attendance, as there is less competition (not to mention something to do for parents and kids during the summer months). Second, is two hours away from Atlanta, Charlotte, and Columbia -- and approximately three hours away from Knoxville. It is centralized and provides for an easy drive for fans to attend games from other cities. Again, I think [USER=9363]@JstVisiting[/USER] 's suggestion of Greenville for a WNBA franchise is very, very intriguing. [/QUOTE]
