Charlie Pompea used to show up in Springfield fairly often when Landon was running the team. He's now taken the role of being a silent owner, for whatever reason. I haven't seen him at all this year (but I don't attend every game), and his daughter has been the public face of the franchise since officially taking over prior to this season. As I've stated in the other thread, there are a lot of things different about the way Springfield is being run since Landon stepped aside.
My opinion: the wild card regarding the Springfield franchise is the MGM casino
(website link) that will be built diagonally across the street from the MassMutual Center, opening probably in 2017.
The casino plans to utilize the MM Center as their de facto on-site arena for entertainment (see "FAQ" quote below), with an airwalk linking the arena/convention center to the casino property. The Falcons could either be part of that entertainment mix, and thus benefit greatly...or could be marginalized by the other events booked by MGM. (Who knows, I suppose that MGM could even obtain an ownership stake in the team, if they were so inclined.)
I would think that the prudent move for the Pompea family would be to determine which direction the casino will push the franchise, and act accordingly. If the Falcons are embraced by MGM, sit tight for now and reap the benefits at that time. If MGM has plans that will marginalize the team, now is a great time to have an AHL franchise on the market, due to Western demand driving up franchise values.
