Perhaps this thread can be merged with the Soccer stadium game in Germany thread.
Just a random thought about the US-Germany game.
Ideas of a European rebel league are usually dismissed as being impossible or a distant second to the NHL (like the KHL). But what if the outdoor game in Germany was profitable and enjoyable enough that if a 6 to 8 team national Euro league were to be created, they could pull off a 15 to 20 game sold-out home schedule? Was the game a mess logistically? Or are they used to these crowds in winter?
You could have teams in the biggest soccer stadiums across Europe, playing in a league that starts in November and ends in April (like most Elite leagues). There must be giant stadiums in the suburbs of Stockholm, Helsinki, Moscow, Prague, Bratislava?, Bern? (maybe no 76-thousand seaters, but big). Are big dome stadiums rare in these other countries? Could even Latvia, Belarus, Norway, Denmark, England and France pull off something this big?
Would bigger stars enjoy playing in a league this? Could they pay for them? Could it be an IHF league where you have to play for your country, or would it just be like the elite league format, but only 1 or 2 teams per country?
Also, with economical fears as of late, I don't know if anyone would want to take up the task and put money into a league like this. I don't really agree with this idea, but it's something I thought of and wondered what some members here to say about it.
