#1 Bring in the best players you can find here (Miami Jai-alai), Spain, France like they did in Bridgeport and Hartford in their early years. Miami's roster in late 70's and early 80's.
#2 Pay them well and entice them to stay by giving a percentage of the handle
#3 Get a players manager everyone can respect because no player respects Arregui
#4 Get rid of Snyder and Knox they do nothing for the sport.
#5 Decrease the amount of performances for players and Go back to 2 month vacation for the players 1 month every 5-6 months to keep them fresh. Have strength and conditioning coach, athletic trainer and masseus on staff.
#6 Advertise the hell out of the sport TV(local, ESPN) radio and internet
#7 Every performance have someone in the lobby explaining the game to people.
#8 Giveaways and jackpots every week.
#9 Tournaments/partidos every other weekend/month with the best players
#10 Open a school like we once had in N. Miami with a good instructor and strength/conditionig programs.
#11 DON'T LET THE SPORT DIE!
Just a few thoughts off the top of my head.
