The effects of our low loonie will be felt by our two major summer sports teams.
The Border Cats play all of their Northwoods League road games in the U.S, meaning they will face additional costs on each of those trips.
The owner has also said the dollar is having an impact on supplies, player and staff travel, and league fees.
The hope is to keep ticket prices where they are. But the math shows that if many costs are up by 40 per cent, more people need to support the team at the turnstiles to try to make up that shortfall.
Manager Danny Benedetti is back for a second year, and hopes to improve on a 33-38 record in 2015.
The Cats open their 14th Northwoods League season at home at Port Arthur Stadium May 31st against the Mankato Moondogs.
The Chill are also looking at some increased travel costs in its upcoming season.
Although they at least have one trip on this side of the border on the schedule to Winnipeg.
Again, the low dollar value just means it needs more fans to support it at the gate.
The Chill kick-off their Heartland Division schedule in the Premier Development League on June 10 at home against Des Moines.
The 14-game schedule includes a five-game trip through the U.S between July 2 and July 9.
