Windsor is a small market, it has about 300k in its metro area. And it's far enough away from Hamilton where fans don't have to pick between which team to support. Windsor already has Windsor TFC in L1O, and association with TFC since 2016. Notable other teams also include the Windsor Express, a basketball team in the NBL since 2012-2013, and the Windsor Spitfires. Both of these play in the same arena with a capacity of about 6500.
To be honest, I don't see Windsor being a bad market. And it would probably do well to enhance Ontario rivalries through the Corridor.
Just me, but growth of the CPL - and its stability - will need a strong and growing fanbase in southern Ontario.
