Gary Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Here is the linkTulsa World 1/30/05Here is a quote from the story:Meanwhile, Miron's son Monte is apparently trying to bring the American League Cleveland franchise to Tulsa next year. Ray Miron said Tulsa is probably not big enough to support two teams. "Any city with two teams has one eventually die," Miron said. "San Antonio and Cincinnati couldn't make it with two teams.

Puckguy14 Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 WHY? Since Silicon Valley Sports & Entertainment (the Sharks ownership group) essentially has free rent at Gund Arena, it doesn't make sense. The only thing I can think of is perhaps the move so the Sharks can get call ups with the NHL team faster. But I heard other cities to get the Barons. 2004 San Jose Sharks 7th Man Fan of the Year San Jose Gold Miners - 4x Lombardi Cup Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dilbert Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 If the Barons go Cincinnati will loose a big rival. Besides I dont even think Tulsa could support a team in the top league. (I say Top league since the NHL has gone down the Craphole this season.) Signature intentionally left blank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, the Gunds, owners of SVSE, sold their arena and the Cleveland Cavaliers to that guy who runs Quicken Loans recently.

Ok, thanks for the info Craven. And to clarify, Gund only owns part of SVSE now. In that case, Quad perhaps a move to Oakland would be nice! 2004 San Jose Sharks 7th Man Fan of the Year San Jose Gold Miners - 4x Lombardi Cup Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian in Boston Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 The Gunds have reportedly considered at least six markets as a potential new home for the Cleveland Barons of the American Hockey League. The latest facility to actually be visited by team president Michael Lehr was The Mark of the Quad Cities. Lehr has visited the area twice, meeting with both arena oficials and the Quad City Mallards' ownership group.Reportedly, the San Jose Sharks are striving to "make it work" for their AHL club in Cleveland. However, they are "exploring all their options". A franchise relocation likely wouldn't take place until the 2006-2007 AHL season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
