    Strangely enough, IF a split shared city team had to happen I could be on board with Tampa Bay and Miami sharing.

    Back around 2008, there were talks to build a stadium at this site.

    To be fair, the Tampa Bay Times is behind a paywall now (as of a few months ago) after a few articles, so alot of locals have given up on their sites unless they're a subscriber already.

    If I give Stu Sternberg credit for something, he invests money into the Trop to upgrade the amenities. Since your visit theyve done the folllwoing: - Replaced the turf at least 3 times (twice in the past 2-3 years) and the new surface for 2019 really seems like a good match. - Added LED stadium lighting in 2019, with colored uplighting and better standard lights. - Created a full almost-360 concourse within view of the field, the only blocked section is immediately behind the plate. - Got rid of the batters eye restaurant, and opened up the walls to make it a social space in CF. - New for 2019, the Left Field ledge with 4-top table seating.

    Press conference Tuesday the 25th at 1pm eastern about the Rays. Assumingly to clear the air about this Montreal stuff.

    If taxes are used, I’d say it’s highly unlikely it’ll be sales tax. There are hotel taxes and other tourist taxes that would likely be targeted. The Buccaneers burned any chance of using sales tax back in the mid 90s

    It would HAVE to be a blended split, or one where one team remains primary (probably TB).

    This....all this. Players union will hate this type of scenario.

    I could see a share like Montreal and San Juan worked in the 2000s, but this will not work full time. I dont want to lose the Rays, and have set my personal expectations that over the next 5-6 years it will only get worse before it gets better. Montreal to the Rays is what Tampa Bay/St Pete was to places like Seattle, San Francisco, and Chicago in the 90s. Its the threat of actual relocation that causes movement.

    I knew it was going to be Masters food related, and the pimento cheese sandwich is perfect.

    The T in the Rays logo has this same skew. I think its an optical illiusion, but Im not sure

    This promotion actually began back in 2018 for one night only and they chose to do it more often in 2019.

    I'll post here since this seems to be the thread in general about arena and indoor football news and rumors... The Tampa Bay Storm might return in 2020 as part of the National Arena League. https://primetimesportstalk.com/2019/05/28/tampa-bay-storm-could-return-join-national-arena-league-in-2020/

    He is Looey, because of his french-canadian heritage. The US city St. Louis is Loo-is.

    I feel like Bandits could be the Tampa Bay name, if they can pry the rights from whomever owns the USFL trademark. Justice could really work for DC, and I've always wanted to see an NY team use Gothams.

    I can confirm this is what i've heard as well....NYPenn short season is the likely target but also consider the Sox have Lowell as their affiliate, so Boston would either keep Lowell and let another team affiliate with the Pawtucket team, or Pawsox remain with Boston and the Spinners become another affiliate.
  17. TBGKon
    True, but Ruby Legs could work as it has local flair, and is a close tie to Red Sox without screaming "Red Sox"
  18. TBGKon
    Correct, someone shared this info in the XFL thread in "in general" section.
  19. TBGKon
    Probably due to filing legally for the name...
  20. TBGKon
    Agreed if MLB goes to 32, the ideal situation is 4 divisions of 8.
  21. TBGKon
    Google is your friend...
  22. TBGKon
    i really must not be paying attention, but when did UNIWATCH go to SI.com? I just saw the MLB 2019 preview and was like wait, I missed something...
  23. TBGKon
    I said this in the news thread, not the logo thread. They way things are going the XFL would be smart to snag San Antonio and maybe San Diego. Replace Houston and LA or Seattle.
  24. TBGKon
    Clearwater and the Phillies/Threshers did in 2015
  25. TBGKon
    If the XFL can snag the Bandits name for Tampa Bay that would be the best name to make a splash.
