Talk:Traveling team

Independent league baseball
This article is rather unbalanced. The concept of a traveling team is not merely a curiosity of the past, but is very common even to this day in minor leagues, especially independent baseball leagues, where a traveling team might exist In a given season to accommodate an odd number of teams due to uneven expansion of a team folding. Unlike football, baseball teams play almost every day, so it's especially needed. See the Grays and Road Warriors for examples. The utter lack of mention is a big hole in the article. oknazevad (talk) 12:33, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
 * The article is a lot better with regard to this issue now, but still I think that it should explicitly address that travel teams are now far more likely to exist in independent baseball than in other sports due to the fact cited above, namely that baseball teams play almost daily during their designated seasons and any appreciable number of "byes" or "open dates" are thus far more disruptive in baseball than in other sports. 2600:1004:B109:38BB:51A7:C502:32EA:E160 (talk) 00:27, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

Post-Katrina Saints
The New Orleans Saints didn't play any actual "home games" in the season that was played in the wake of Hurricane Katrina – they did play in major facilities (Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge and the Alamo Dome in San Antonio) games that were designated as their home games and at which they had support similar to a true home team, but they played exactly zero home games at the Louisiana Superdome, their home venue, because the level of damage it had sustained had made it impossible. This situation is not the same as NFL teams who have played in college stadiums in the same city while a new pro stadium was being built (the most recent cases of this I can remember were the Vikings at the University of Minnesota stadium and the Seahawks at the University of Washington before that), obviously those are not "travel teams" at all as the article correctly notes, but I think the post-Katrina Saints could arguably qualify. 2600:1004:B115:CCE8:2420:5A37:C5B0:999 (talk) 22:36, 25 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Although playing in temporary venues, the Saints did have home games, not merely games in their opponents' stadiums (outside of the one against the Giants just after the storm). That would make them not a traveling team. oknazevad (talk) 23:10, 25 July 2018 (UTC)
