Current Ft. Pierce Schedule

Posted on June 14, 2010 at 09:07:32 AM by Sandra

Before we start adding performances or changing the schedule, we have to keep in mind that the Miami players are commuting at least twice a week, from their respective South Florida homes, to play at the Ft. Pierce fronton.

We also have to factor in the hotel costs for players on Friday and Saturday nights.

If Florida Gaming is paying for the hotel and commuting costs (which in all fairness they should), I doubt they can afford to add any more performances or change the way the schedule is right now because that would increase their expenses.

At this point, I suggest going to a weekend-only schedule with a Friday evening, Saturday matinee and evening, and Sunday matinee performance which would reduce the cost of running the Wednesday and Friday matinee performances.

Unfortunately, this would also mean fewer opportunities for the players to make bolero money but on the other hand, it eliminates their Wednesday commute.

There is no perfect solution at this point but they do need to make an adjustment quick!
