Just elevate the Barons, they already have more history than a lot of current MLB teams

San Antonio won’t be larger for much longer. The San Antonio MSA has 2.6 million people and is growing at approximately 1.5%. Austin has 2.35 million people and is growing at a 3% rate. I suspect Austin would be the preferred choice for MLB over San Antonio.

Definitely not Nashville. There's a lot of passion that comes along being a MLB fan. Nashville is home to the most fair weathered fans out there.

Put a few walls with angel wings and a cursive Nashville neon sign in the ballpark and it'll be packed with basic white women.

I think more than likely what will happen is a team gets put between the two kind of like how the Rangers and Cowboys are in Arlington.

Nope Braves country. Any city in NC, SC, GA (obviously), AL, or MS would not succeed due to the Bravos.

Nashville would be good, but I wonder if there is enough corporate money to support 3 pro sports teams. There are enough regular fans.

Yep, it’s becoming a 6MM population megaplex before long.

Yeah, I thought about that too. New Braunfels or San Marcos?
