(S14) PT 3 - Expansion

[uncleleo#39;skomrade]

The best option for the NSFL expansion would be to take hold of the football market in Canada. While the league already has a franchise in Yellowknife, the province of Saskatchewan is football hotbed that the league could capitalize on. The obvious location for the team would be the province's largest city of Saskatoon. As a province Saskatchewan is rich in football support with the large fan base held by their CFL franchise in Regina. The name of the Saskatoon team would be the RiverRiders. This would pay homage to the South Saskatchewan River that runs through the city. The team would feature a colour scheme of Blue and Green to represent the land and water. The team's mascot would be a frog. A frog can live in both the water and on land therefore making it a perfect choice. The team would play out of the University of Saskatchewan stadium to allow for play to begin immediately. The stadium could renamed Riverbed Stadium and provide 100% eco-friendly. Located in Saskatchewan where activities are fairly limited to begin with, the team should not experience any difficulty attracting fans to games. While the franchise may struggle to attract players, they should be able to thrive economically in this rich football market.
