It will be interesting to see how successful they are in Tulsa. Sure, 10,000 people won't fill up the Palace, but will they be able to regularly pull 10,000 people in a market that small?

You're right that the Liberty get virtually no coverage in NYC -- much less coverage than the Shock get in Detroit -- but NYC also has twice the number of major sports teams as Detroit. The MLS team here in NYC gets zero coverage by the media.
