baseball could pull off expansion right now.
Attendance down, and two teams in the state of Florida with fans that could give a frick. I don't think it would work.

Everyone who keeps saying Nola should be contracted obviously hasn't been paying attention to what's happened with the franchise in the last year. Now that they have an owner who is actually spending money it will turn around

Hope so. It's all about the attendance numbers...

Attendance down

adding 81 home games in baseball is a tall, tall order. adding 8 home games in football is pretty easy.

But what if the situation changed and all you needed was 15k per game? Because that's what I think will happen a decade from now. That's all I'm saying. If that happens, then there are quite a few more cities that become legitimate possibilities.

The dolphins and heat aren't going anywhere, but you can take the marlins. Ownership and specifically Loria can eat a bag of dicks for how they fraudulently fleeced dade county. Frick the marlins. I'll never pay for a ticket to one of their games.

Tampa's had worse attendance issues in recent years. Several blackouts vs. 0 for Jax.

If MLB adds an NL team to Texas, then Bud Selig can go right ahead and frick off. But we're currently at a balance with 5 in every division. If there's two expansion teams, put one in each league to get to 16 in each. Split into 4 divisions each. For the love of God move the Astros back to the NL.
