I would love to know what the stadium architect thought when they were given *that* logo to include in their renders.

Really? - SeaWorld is a genuinely awful location for a stadium - The state/county wouldn’t approve that much public money, nor should they - Other cities have much stronger cases for a team Reasons why this should happen: - I would like it to (although preferably without the public money, and more importantly a better name) The proposed location is in one of the most challenging areas for traffic (just north of SeaWorld near the intersection of I-4 and SR-528). No way do locals go there on a regular basis. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burmy Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Gotta say, that is one beauty of a ballpark they're proposing. Not a fan of the proposed team name, though...they should keep the franchise name and be the Orlando Rays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, they cant be the Rays unless its the Rays proposing this. Right now its for expansion, and this group has been around since 2019.

Would be a little sad to see it go; one of the longest standing strip hotels, but that property is in rough shape. A shame none of the proposed renovations for it came to light. One heck of a location for the ball park though. 18 hours ago, DG_ThenNowForever said: Isn't that where Carrot Top has residency?

I think this, like the Nashville Stars, is more of a name for the bid committee, not necessarily the name that the actual team would be called. Like how Olympic bid committees have separate logos from what the host city's official Olympic logo ends up being. 1 Quote "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

No, they should focus on trying to court the Rays to Orlando...as I said, their ballpark would be a beauty, and it's already looking more feasible than anything that's been proposed in Tampa Bay for the team.

WestCoastBias Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Orlando is such a meh city, are the Magic the most forgettable team in sports? The only way it happens is if the Rays want to move there. I'd rather see Nashville and Portland get teams, even Salt Lake City is a more exciting option than Orlando. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
who do you think Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 7 minutes ago, WestCoastBias said: are the Magic the most forgettable team in sports? They used to be pretty high profile, thanks in large part to having Shaq-Penny-T-Mac-Dwight Howard pretty much one right after the other. Magic jerseys were a common sight in the early 00s. But they imploded after the Howard era and have spent the last decade being Hornets south. (I was gonna go on to say that they've been terrible drafters during that time, but after looking it up, eh not really. They just never bottomed out at the right time until the Banchero draft. But while looking this up I learned that they drafted Domantas Sabonis, then immediately traded him and Victor Oladipo for Serge Ibaka, then traded Ibaka at the following trade deadline for a box of Nutri-Grain bars.) Anyway, the Nashville people have no actual money, and nobody in Portland is interested. Salt Lake might be decent, if they actually build that place, if the Sunday thing really isn't an issue like some people claim, and if the Miller group is still capable of being principal owners of a big-four team. If not then that's just another Nashville, i.e. just randos with a website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you're right about Orlando, but the people behind the Nashville campaign are very intent on naming an expansion team the Stars. This is from the FAQ on their website: Quote If awarded a franchise, the current plans are to name the new team the “Nashville Stars” in honor of several Negro Leagues baseball teams that played games in Nashville prior to the integration of Major League Baseball. We intend to honor that legacy. The name also recognizes that Nashville is home to numerous stars in music, entertainment and sports.

You know a team is the most forgettable when you forget about them when talking about what team is the most forgettable. The Nashville money thing could be a real issue, I doubt they get any public funding after the Titans stadium got approved. People in Portland are interested, it's just that they were the first to announce their intentions to secure an expansion team back in 2017 and since then interest has kind of waned due to no news on expansion and now other cities are getting all the publicity because they're announcing their plans when the topic is hot.

OnWis97 Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 That Orlando Dreamers identity would be perfect for an Iowa-based minor league team. 1 Quote Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

ZapRowsdower8 Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 You see a ton of “MLB to PDX” bumper stickers driving around up here. The problem is that there aren’t any credible owners to be found. I’m sure one of our more business minded posters could explain why Phil Knight never got into owning a sports franchise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
