HatCityEnforcer Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Yah, as CC said, the Rangers technically play in the DFW Metroplex, so you can kinda scratch Dallas proper off the list...Also, I don't see Brooklyn as a good site...not with the Mets playing in the next borough..if anywhere in the Tri-State, it'd be North Jersey or possibly the northern 'burbs (Westchester County, NY and possibly Fairfield County, CT)...New Orleans...well, um, yah...they gots other concerns right about now.I voted for Charlotte...although Portland and OKC wouldn't be too bad of picks...

Moser316 Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 No Vegas? I'm surprised, considering the rumblings about several teams looking to move there (in case stadium deals don't work out)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brauny1280 Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 As Moser316 stated Las Vegas would be an excellent place for a team. Also a couple of other sites to think about would going outside of the US with a team in either Puerto Rico or Mexico. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregmond Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Vegas would be a great choice in my mind. What about Portland (take away from the Mariners I guess) or another team in Florida somewhere??There are already 30 teams in MLB right ... are there any other major cities that have no major league presence in the big sports?

Gamingboy Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 I'd say it'd probably go to Vegas. They've been trying for years to nab the Marlins. Insert Witty Signature Here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floydnimrod Posted September 27, 2005 Author Share Posted September 27, 2005 Dallas and New Orleans are off the list.For this project I am focusing on one team but the top two vote-getters will"receive" a team. As for Vegas, I mostly used cities in the southen hemisphere because there would be 32 teams in the MLB in this proposed plan and 16 teams in both the AL and NL. and 4 divisions( north, south, east, and west) like the NFL.

markar14 Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 I went with Charlotte, it seems as if that's a hotspot for expansion/relocated teams in the past 15-20 years (Hornets, Panthers, Hurricanes, Bobcats). I would follow that trend with a baseball team. The only problem with this, though, is that there are many Minor-League teams in the Carolinas who may not be too pleased with a MLB team taking away all the attention from the locals.

Adam Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 How about a city that has no major league sports teams at all?I suggest Corpus Christi, Texas?I know its in close proximity to the Astros and Rangers but I am certain I read somewhere that Corpus Christi is one of the biggest cities with no major league sports franchises in it.Christi's population is 277,454. San Antonio is 150 miles away which isn't all that far I knew people who commuted alot from Ottawa to MOntreal to see Expos games. So add in San Antonio's population and then you'll have over a million people just in those two metro areas not to mention the thousands of people in between. Arlington's only got about 260,000 people and Anaheim is at 260,000, but they are in close proximity of/in major cities. I don't know just something I thought I'd throw out there I am quite ready for this post to be pulled apart and criticized.

sp0rtsguy13 Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 I picked Orlando because a lot of families go there for vacations and a lot of families would go to a game while theyre in the vicinity of a mlb team. Plus there is a decent population there already.
