Ok, so basically it affects budgets because of market size but has zero effect on attendance and fan interest. I wonder if that is in the pipeline at some point? Any thoughts on how to determine what the effects would be and manually do it?
My idea is basically to start in 1914 with the arrival of the Federal League. But I want the Federal League to survice. My thought is that that the Federal League hurt itself by duplicating teams in smallish markets like Kansas City, Pittsburgh and St. Louis instead of focusing on where the population is in New York (mostly), Chicago and Philly.
I want to put three new Federal League teams in New York, two in Chicago and add a team to Philly and Detroit. Basically, my idea is that you cna have roughly one professional team per 500k people at that time. I'm just trying to figure out how to manage it so that the MLB teams feel the inclusion of the additional FL teams and all of them being unable to be sole market dominators...
