When
many more Big League teams/cities are in MLB, I have imagined another
league for the level A-Advanced: the Barnstorm League
Would the Dakotas and very middle of America be best for this league's play?Would it share with at least some of the American Association's independent league ballparks?
There's an independent pro-league in Michigan on the north side of Detroit. But it's one stadium for the entire league, so far, with a lot of booked time on the field

Perhaps an MiLB Barnstorm League could build a few more parks in the combined statistical area of greater Detroit and be able to house what I envision amounting to travel teams.
While I'm not the biggest commercialist, these teams can be commercialized like NASCAR. Coca-Cola Drinkers. Budweiser Teamsters. Bud Frogs. Walmart Wally Worlds. Little Caesar Pizza Pizzas. P&G Soapies. McD Clowns. On and on.
Or traditional geography,...the whatever whatevers.
In previous posts I dreamed up a team Bakken Fields, in the spirit "Field of Dreams" to play in the Rookie-Advanced level Pioneer League. (You can see it here: Is this my Minor League Expansion ? )
I also utilized existing MiLB parks with made-up MiLB teams with future big league expansions.
Since the state of Kansas is somewhat underrepresented, I see some infrastructure sprouted out there. Put something at Fort Riley so that the troops can use it for pastimes. Call them the Riley Red Ones. Share American Association parks
Any input?
