@mysonsdad, to further illustrate the point, this Fall, consider:
USA/MP Galaxy 09 played 10 games over 6 weekends. The season ranged from 9/22 to 11/10. That is an 8 week span that allows for two open weekends.
GPS NASA 07 played 7 games over 5 weekends from 9/22 to 11/3. That is a week span with two open weekends.
The 09 Galaxy team got 40 minutes less of regular season playing time (10 games at 50 minutes each = 500 minutes for USA/MP vs 6 games at 90 minutes each = 540 minutes for the proposed Coastal)
The 07 NASA team 120 minutes less (7 games at 60 minutes each = 420 minutes vs 6 games at 90 minutes each = 540 minutes for the proposed Coastal)
Considering both go to tournaments, and may have jamborees, from a value standpoint, the CPL games are more expensive and provide less value. That is unless I am missing something or my math is wrong.
