Re(3): No Interest, What A Shame

If Florida gaming really cared about the live crowds, they would have done the Fort Pierce season in January, when the area had all their 'snowbirds.' I live in Connecticut and personally know of at least 15 people who live in Fort Pierce, Port St. Lucie or very close by. A few would go to the Fort during their seasons as well.

By the summer I think that Snake may be fairly close to correct, I can't see live attendance being even what it is now--the roster will also be much smaller during that time. It's already known that Goiko, Storza and Lopez will be in Spain...and who knows, maybe Aritz & Rekalde will be gone too.

I have to say I am really enjoying the webcast though...good announcing (it sounds like Keith got his inspiration from Scott Hyatt), great play and often surprisingly good payouts.
