and you're tasked with expansion for new teams/clubs/franchises, would you go:
a) established markets with a taste for the sport, but with a small catchment area/market although it'd be a guaranteed success?
b) entirely new market with no real history of the sport, making sure it grows while you run this league. this market however has a big potential market and can make a lot more money than an established market for the sport.
because it's a growing league, i'd go with a. i just find the idea of expansion in franchised sports a good debate starter so i'd like to know what you guys think if you were ever in this position. |
