    I could see Austin. When I first started watching MLR I was looking for a team to cheer for since we didn’t have a team here in WI.

    The team management in Austin worked hard to bring in fans, with local bands playing before and after the game, etc. Their TV side line reporter did a good job of interviewing the fans and pumping up the crowds. It had a similar type of atmosphere that I would see going to football and baseball games here.

    I’m sure a lot of cities could fit the bill as well, especially in the Midwest, but I think Austin deserves another look. The Gilgronis didn’t leave because of the fans, or the lack thereof.
