With talks of a grand rapids NLL team, do you think it would be good for albany to move to grand rapids?
Its no secret that michigan needs an NLL team to expand into the midwest. with detroit already having all 4 major leagues the city is quite full for sports even with it being a diehard sports city (im a huuge swarm fan but i have family in michigan). Grand Rapids is a huge city with no high end major sports and the NLL could easily change that with a lacrosse team. The city already has an amazing venue downtown with many lacrosse diehards there.
I believe this to be the reason inside rumors of rochester relocating there. I personally think this is a horrible idea and rochester just needs game success to be a success in the nll (like most nll teams that pull a ton of fans with not a lot of success as they already average 5k-6k.)
Albany on the otherhand should consider moving to grand rapids. With some of the worst attendance in the league and still managing to pull a finals appearance its quite obvious they need to move to a new city in the season after the one that starts today.
It would be sad to see albany become like panther city 😔😔😔 and many people would be happy with a relocation to grand rapids.
Below are logos and team names i thought of for a grand rapids team.
Michigan Feathers, Great Lakes Snow Owls and Grand Rapids Chipmunks.
