If the players get 6 or 8 months I think they will love it, after all NO other professional sports play year round, the body can only take so much of the old grueling schedules. You will see even better play and I don't think the players will be hurting at all as so much of the slot and poker money must go into their salaries. Plus they can draw unemployment..
If the frontons fail this time it will definitely end the game here. I think they must run 150 performances with slots. Hey,they may stay year round and just go with the 4 day week, who knows?
