    don't know. always a tenuous enterprise. does not seem like they have thought the coed thing through. probably a safe bet they will lose a bunch of money.

    Kit You are correct they will only have 4 teams in the 1st year, The idea is to prove proof of concept that the Double header Mens and womens division can work.

    The 4th team is ready to go. They are awaiting the announcement to get a sponsor. Andrew Haines is not stupid he has a game plan already set in place. Haines advertising group will also market and sell all of the merchandise.

    I don't know if four teams is much smarter than three.

    Syd, You need to give him some credit he is trying to do something new and put indoor soccer in more city's. Even if he fails, who cares at least he tried and put his money where his mouth is. You cant make money if you are afraid to spend yours and take risk. Just like most Indoor soccer teams do and fail over and over again.

    Only 50 tickets, wow!!! Haines has failed at so many leagues. Most recent failure was A- league football in Florida. League ended up playing only like 4 games. Did have lots of talent, players and coaches.

    He is always looking to start a team or league and sell higher. Doesn't work usually, sometimes it does, but has had many lawsuits.
