The insanity of this is............
What if we financed a semi-pro baseball team, built them a $50 million dollar stadium, and figured it would bring tons of tourists, and revenue ?
The truth- true fans, even here in Wilmington, are going to watch the real Major League game, for free on their HDTVs. They could care less about a farm league result.
Look at the Seahawks. When a good ACC game is on, during the same night, half the folks eat their ticket, and stay home. 10 times more people, in Wilmington are watching a Carolina Tarheel game, then a UNC-W game.
Can you name last years AA Champion Team ? Neither can anyone else.
