Re: What are some cities that could support an MLB team?
Skins Wiz and Caps are all in Maryland.
Aren't the Redskins technically in Virginia? or is that Maryland? Ah who cares.

Re: What are some cities that could support an MLB team?
That won't take long...This guy is on his last breath in terms of being Baseball's commish.With all the steroids problems in the US and in South America,there's no reason why he should still be commish.Unfortunately I don't think it will happen as long as Selig is still commish. He spent so much time trying to get the Expos out of there he isn't going to put another right back in.Comment

Re: What are some cities that could support an MLB team?
Yahoo baseball writers gave their thoughts about this topic a few weeks ago. Las Vegas came up a lot. One writer mentioned Vancouver.
Of course the key is getting a park in place. A team might have to play in BC Place for a season or two before the park is ready.
We currently have Single A here and we use to have AAA before the team moved to Sac Town.
I would love to see a MLB team here. The dollar is on the upswing and the local economy is doing really well. I'm just not sure if there's enough potential/baseball fans here to support it though.Comment

Re: What are some cities that could support an MLB team?
It might work, You could get a nice influx of fans from the prairies and the Pacific NorthWest. I think Canada has enough baseball fans in the country to support two teams and I would love to see a team in the west. It would really spark a nice rivalry between Toronto and Vancouver. As you know it's a popular pastime to bash anything Toronto related in the rest of the country.Originally posted by asianflowMember of the Official OS Bills Backers Club

Re: What are some cities that could support an MLB team?
Whether it's Montreal,Vancouver,Edmonton..Wherever'd love to see another team in Canada..But you'd have to think that if Portland couldn't even get MLB to move the Expos there,why would put a team in Vancouver...Especially since there's no team really in jeopardy of losing a team.You could say the Drays,but Vancouver in the AL east would make no sense...It might work, You could get a nice influx of fans from the prairies and the Pacific NorthWest.

Re: What are some cities that could support an MLB team?
MLB didn't move the Spos to Portland because they couldn't get a park. Also the local economy is in really bad shape over there right now.Originally posted by Vinceanity2k3
If Vancouver got a team I imagine they would just join the AL West since there's only 4 teams right now. The AL East would just go to 4 teams (assuming it was the D-Rays that moved).
I don't think the Mariners would be too happy if Vancouver got a team since they would probably lose some fans.Comment

Re: What are some cities that could support an MLB team?
Not true. While it's somewhat easy for people in Northern Viriginia to make Nats and Orioles games (in D.C. and Maryland respectively), people that live south of Fredricksburg would find it near impossible to make that commute. You have never seen traffic until you've been to the Beltway.Originally posted by Vinceanity2k3Don't be greedy.Ya'll have the Nats and Orioles
I was shocked as hell when I went to Memphis and saw there downtown AAA baseball stadium. It is actaully better than a couple major league stadiums I've been to, so that area wouldn't be a bad candidate.Comment

What about Salt Lake City? I dunno, just a site that hasnt been mentioned at all, dont know if it'd be a good idea...Comment

Re: What are some cities that could support an MLB team?
Maybe but if Denver and Vegas have teams it would make less sense for SLC to have one. The more obvious choice seems to be Vegas but SLC is not bad. I thought about it but I wasnt sure about its population.Originally posted by TheMatrix31Comment
