I think this is a strong point.  I like the EPL's setup because it is a balanced schedule.  Obviously that is required when you don't have playoffs.  But it also works in England because everywhere is basically a 2 or 3 hour train ride away.  It takes me twice that long just to get to southern Calfornia.  A balanced schedule is not financially practical and will not be for some time.  However, in Ridge Mahoney's original article on this, he did say that this would be he ultimate dream, not something that should happen anytime soon.
