As the club progressed through the national leagues, the home venue was changed to comply with league regulations and accommodate a larger number of supporters. From the Palazzetto dello Sport Baslenga in Casalmaggiore, the club first moved to PalaFarina in Viadana and then to PalaRadi in Cremona. The first promotion happened in 2010 to Serie B1, one season later promotion to Serie A2 was achieved and in 2013 it reached the Serie A1.[1]

gollark: Anyway, I *guess* just using a long list would kind of work if you have one conveniently available somewhere?
gollark: I disagree. It's easy enough for a human to classify it in a roughly consistent way, but it's nontrivial to automate that judgement.
gollark: Well, the ideal would be an automatic system which just randomly chooses anything people consider a "political ideology", based on how much it's being talked about.
gollark: * automatically → easily automatically
gollark: Which is the problem.
