Greensboro Grasshoppers moving up to Double-A?

Question

I'm from Greensboro, and I've heard from a lot of people that the Grasshoppers are moving up to Double-A next year. Is this true?

Answer 1

Hardto say, but look at this website. Memphis isn't exactly packing them in.
Less than 200,000 annualattendance fora AA team,is poor, very poor.
Greensboro/High Point has a good population base. Possible,but who knows.

By the way, I am in Reading, Pa. We have an AA franchise (Eastern league, Reading Phillies), and every year we draw about 450,.000. A weekday game is good for 6000, Fri and Sat nites are good for 8000 or more, and Sundays are good for 5000.
