TBGKon Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Im still confused as to why the Lakewood NJ Blue Claws are in the South Atlantic LeagueBecause realistically there is no other league to place them in. The team was relocated from N. Carolina I believe and had to remain in the Sally League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otherwilds Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Seriously, I really wish they'd go to a 3-league Triple-A level. 10 teams per league would be fine, I think.I think this will happen down the road to cut down on travel costs Pacific Coast LeagueAlbuquerque, Colorado Springs, Fresno, Las Vegas, Portland, Reno, Round Rock, Sacramento, Salt Lake, Tacoma, International League Buffalo, Charlotte, Durham, Gwinnett, Lehigh Valley, Norfolk, Pawtucket, Rochester, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Syracuse Continental League or whatever you want to call itColumbus, Indianapolis, Iowa, Louisville, Memphis, New Orleans, Nashville, Oklahoma City, Omaha, ToledoFor this three league concept you could call the new league the American Association...wait...that sounds vaguely familiar...

uk-owns-iu Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 On my way down to Nashville yesterday, I had the opportunity to stop by the ballpark. It looks like a good location to me. The neighborhood is kinda rough but with some revitaliztion it looks prime to be a ballpark village type area. Several years ago this team was the South Georgia Waves and were set to relocate to my old hometown of Evansville, IN until politics screwed it up and David Heller was forced to move to Columbus at the last minute. I thought it was only temporary but the Catfish were in the league for a few years. Good to see Bowling Green step up to the plate and get the deal done. I would like to see a bigger ballpark than 4,500 cap one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaMike81 Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 ...I would like to see a bigger ballpark than 4,500 cap one.I doubt the area could support a larger ballpark. Bowling Green is already a much smaller market than most of the existing MiLB clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaMike81 Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 It's bigger than 5 other MWL parks.True. Being from the Mid-Atlantic region, I am used to slightly larger ballparks. The stadiums in York, PA and Waldorf, MD are considered to be small by Atlantic League standards, and the Eastern League doesn't possess any ballparks that small.

JaMike81 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 True, but there are some Frontier League teams that can draw twice that.There are also a couple that draw half of the Hot Rods' capacity. Kalamazoo and Chillicothe come to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
