Yesterday I ran across a great article that looks at the changing shape to sports as it pertains to rising oil prices. It's an outstanding piece that details how dependent athletics is to cheap oil. I love going to games and seeing top talent play for my team, but those things are seriously strained when (1) you can't go to a game because it cost too much and (2) my team can't recruit top talent because it costs too much for them to visit other regions.
Anyways, I think this pertains to the values of FanSpan and what we are trying to do. By grouping people regionally by team, hopefully we can get close to reaching the experience we get by being there.
