While I think this would be great, the VB Sportsplex is less than 5 minutes from my house (if it happens I will be hosting a cookout for WarPathers). And it makes sense for the City because the Sportsplex has been and still is a $$$ pit. Not sure why the Skins would do this though. In the article they mention they are 6 miles from hotel to facility. There are no hotels / colleges closer down here. The Convention Center area is at least 15 minutes away. Even the Founders Inn would be at least a 10 minute drive with no traffic. There would also need to be a LOT of improvements to the Sportplex to make it work for a professional sports franchise.
