With the NHL and NHL moving to Vegas, I wouldn't doubt Vegas be in the mix at some point.



Vegas wouldn't be a good city for baseball. There is no surrounding towns or population. The 2 million in the greater metro area is it for 100s of miles.

Interesting argument but I bet most of the ticket sales would be tourists

Yea, I am not sure how many more pro teams Vegas can support. The only cities with more than 2 pro franchises in their general range of MSA population are Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and Milwaukee (throwing the Packers in there for Milwaukee as a lot of Packers support and season ticket holders come from there). Vegas is nothing like those three. Tourists following their team can only get you so far.
