Because their status quo is any better?
Des Moines 13.5h
Rockford 17h
Chicago 17h
Milwaukee 18.5h
Grand Rapids 19.5h
Winnipeg 22h
Closest non-divisionals are:
Loveland 15h
Tucson 13h
Last year's road/fly trips (2 games per city unless noted otherwise):
Austin made more sense when San Antonio also had a team (now they're in Henderson NV). If DAL doesn't like this arrangement they could flip the Boise/Austin leagues which would make more geographical sense for each team, though they'd lose the convenience of AHL proximity (though there are twice daily 3h direct flights from DAL-Boise vs. a 3hr drive to Cedar Park),
