Barrington Pintails

City: Barrington, Carse District, South Georgia
Population: 176,000
Home Field: Invescor Pintails Stadium (capacity: 8,500)

A map of Barrington.

Back in the old days (which, for South Georgia, was the 1980s), if you wanted to travel from the ports to the majority of the research stations on the southern tip of the island, you needed to trek "Explorer's Road".. a long, barren stretch of road which connected the relatively-modernized Port Charles/Johannsen area of the island, down to the Carse research stations.

Eventually, it was realized that the Carse flat lands made a good location for a town. It made the trek much more pleasant, and it gave the south part of the island a proper hub for business.

By the 1990s, the city of Barrington was founded, and quickly grew to become South Georgia's second-largest city. Now a true multi-industry city, Barrington is a popular spot for South Georgians who want a bit of entertainment and good restaurants. Those with a keen eye will notice two parks in town..... that is because Barrington also houses McLaren University, home of the "Saints".. a top college team in the SGUA.

Back in the early days of the town, "Explorer's Road" did have a few inhabitants: a giant flock of ducks called the "South Georgia Pintail"... the national bird of the island. As the city grew, the Pintail became the town's beloved mascot and a locally-known symbol for the area. There was no better name for their SGBL team : the Barrington Pintails !

Fun fact: The elevated highway which cross town is still called "Explorer's Road".
