"Seventy-five percent. I don't think the weather accommodates a good preseason. They start so early. I think they could, if the city of Cape goes after them and builds a park for them."

Becky Hogan, Cape Girardeau

"I think they might come. We do have Houck field that they could use. It's one of the close big cities to St. Louis."

Jerry Beaver, Cape Girardeau

"I think it's definitely out this year. It would take maybe a year or more to get facilities to really do the situation. We've got the practice fields at the college, but one would have to be a turf for them to be able to work out when it's raining."

Marvin Campbell, Cape Girardeau

"I'm not really a football fan, but I would think it would be nice for them to come. It would certainly add interest here locally.
