[quote=Anonymous]It's interesting for sure. I've lived in Richmond for over 20 years and it's been a big change with the portal. VCU Hoops in particular. When I first moved here, it was more how long would the Coach stay if the program was successful. There was decent continuity with the players. Now, it's both the players and the coach that are turning over. It's tough. Grew up in Pittsburgh and while Pitt hoops was never a national power, they did have some nice runs in the old Big East. Now, they can't compete at all in the ACC. The rosters turnover every year. It's just bad. The true minor league (AA baseball, ECHL Hockey, USL Soccer) while not popular on broadcast TV can have great followings in their hometowns. Back to Richmond, both the baseball team (Flying Squirrels - AA affiliate of the Giants) and the Richmond Kickers (USL1 team - Tier 3 in US soccer) have great attendance at home games here and are fairly reasonably priced for a night out.[/quote]
