You can sell more apparel. You can fill some extra seats in the dog days of the season. You can gain fans in the long term. OKC could do Kansas City. Orlando could do Tampa. Memphis could do Louisville & so on.

* It wasn't nine games though. It was more like half the home games. Never knew when they were in town. Nine games in Omaha would have been okay.
