While I have never been many of my American contacts talk of the joy (or the dream) of attending Spring training for their favourite baseball team. A team like the New York Yankees bases itself in Florida to do its pre-season training. Fans attend in an almost party like atmosphere to hang out for a few days and watch their players up close. It does not extend to the whole of the off season and is a ticketed event. Not sure what elements we could take from this activity to increase the "fan experience" but perhaps it is worth a look. Not suggesting we move our training interstate but perhaps some things like names on training singlets, a roving low key commentator that gives insight.... who knows.We could do without the paid tickets element perhaps I suspect that if the big clubs like Collingwood could "crack the code" it could become a pleasant activity during the off season. Perhaps MFC could trail blaze (with an AFL grant)
