Yeah Athens has been a cluster. The SPHL royally screwed up a chance at a decent market right in their footprint. The deal was all but signed with the league, so much so that the Athens socials even said SPHL when first published. The SPHL really has not done anything to stick it to the Fed since blocking Birmingham.

The ticket prices for a Fed team are actually insane. I feel like they are very quickly setting themselves up for failure

That's nuts.... I've been to Marlies games for $15-20 ($10-15 USD)
Ticket prices are market & venue & ownership business plan driven. But once a fan pays all of the 3rd-party seller fees, it's hard to tell the differences. :ha:
