I'm no expert, but what city is a better fit? I'm sure there are some I just
don't know who. I look at SLC as a growing city with lots of young families. Seems like a great opportunity to expand. Jazz seem to have plenty of support.

WOAH. MLB is giving permission to Tampa Bay to explore splitting home games in Tampa and Montreal.

That's the weirdest thing ever. Gotta be to put pressure on Tampa to build a stadium, right?

Sure seems like it. Build a stadium, or move to Montreal permanently.

A stadium to hold all 1500 fans that show up to their games?

Imagine if all they got were April/May games. Use the high school field.

the reason for the lack of attendance isn't interest. it's because the stadium is in st pete. when teams look at

Taxpayer-subsidized stadiums are the biggest waste of money.

Most are. Some aren't. And if they won't build one they lose the team. That's fine.

Show me any study that shows some aren't.

Tax revenues over time generally far outweigh the cost.

Every study I've read shows they don't. Here are my sources.

I don't have a study but the Vegas stadium is a good deal. Pid for by tourist and increases tourism.

When I was in Vegas my Uber driver complained and complained about the Raiders

Do you usually take advice on economics from your Uber driver?

I crushed it at the Hakkasan and on UNLV campus.

Glad some random Uber driver speaks for all of Vegas lol. Many are thrilled at the Raiders coming.

Rays have a lease at Tropicana Field until 2027. So the emphasis is on "explore" here.

who gets worse attendance. Rays or Marlins?

The Marlins the last 2 years. Historically though, Tampa's is the worst.
TCuz

Marlins, they may have the shiny new stadium but they aren’t even trying
Oranje

Ok I googled. It's Miami - they have lowest attendance in MLB, by a lot.

Coors Field is huge and the setting is actually really nice.

Why wouldn't Salt Lake be on the list of cities to be looked at for a MLB team?

Because there are 4-6 more attractive cities to MLB ahead of SLC.

Makes sense. I mean, the cities are super close together so it should be doable.

Just listened to Steve Phillips on Dog’s channel. Made perfect sense. This is all a ploy to get out of St Pete.
