13. Expansion Expansion Expansion! Tell us why you think the league should expand / not expand or include any ideas (in words) for team branding ideas you have or team locations.
I would like to see the International Simulation Football League expand. With 14 teams total, 7 in each conference, I think we could easily add a couple of teams. If we added two more teams, then we could have 16 teams total, 2 8 team conferences, and then 4 divisions across those two conferences. I think this would increase rivalries and makes things a little bit more interesting. There are plenty of other reasons to increase the number of teams in the league. More teams allows the ISFL to increase its foothold and get more eyes on the league. With more eyes on the league, then more fans, prospects, and businesses will devote their attention to our league. As to where we should expand to, that is a good question. There are a ton of markets in the United States, the home of football, but we could also go the international route to really grow the game and live up to our name as the International Simulation Football League. I would suggest a South American team. Argentina, Chile, Brazil, Peru, Columbia, etc, these are all great potential locations for a new football team. The Chile Mountaineers might be a good one, but the name most likely needs some Spanish (or Portuguese if we go with Brazil). I think Guerreros (warriors) would make a good team name. However, there are many great options for names. For another team, I would like to see one in Africa. In these leagues, I feel like Africa is often overlooked despite its great potential for enormous growth. In this century, Nigeria is expected to surpass and even double the population of the United States. It would be great to tap into this market and get all these young folks interested in American football. Egypt would be a great option too, along with South Africa, Kenya, Botswana, Ghana, and many more great choices. Depending on the country, I could see a ton of different branding ideas like the Nigerian Black-Crowned Cranes. These two new expansion teams might struggle out the gate, but down the road it would be outstanding for the league. *word count 356*
17. Your team has announced that they will be laying ground on a new stadium next season. What additions would you like to see included in it. (Written Task)
It’s time for a new stadium in New Orleans. The old one has lived a great storied history, but it’s time to update and get a little more modern. The Second Line are going a little out of the box, and are going to raise the field up! The fans in the lower bowl will be slightly down but able to see the entire field. There will be plenty of seating in the catwalks that will essentially hang, so fans can literally hang from the rafters. There will be a water fall in one corner of the stadium with 100% recycled rain water, where the waterfall actually purifies the water in an energy efficient manner. The arena will be careful to control its emissions and be a responsible smart stadium. The field will be all natural grass however to cut down on player injuries. The stadium will be named after a local community icon instead of selling the name rights to a corporation. This will give the smart stadium a little more prestige. *word count 173*
