I think Dan has it right that it would do very little to the general public and would not bring new fans to the game. It would be nice for people like us though but we are already hooked. I would be in favor of something being tried but I just don't know how successful it would be. I remember a series in the early 1990s that started off pretty well but tailed off. If something were to be created, I'd like it to be showcase more versatility than just being run at middle distances. Maybe something starting with the Met Mile then going to 10f then ending with 12f on grass.
