Dang, Marlins just suck. Selling everyone, can't get a stadium deal. Las Vegas is my bet.

I'm surprised that Nady wasn't involved in that deal since Florida's been after him for over a year now... Anyway, their lineup is expected to look something like this:
Reyes
Beltran
Delgado
Wright
Floyd
Nady
Castro
Hernandez/Keppinger

David Stern would. He's already trying to get a team there.

Fastest growing city in America + Tons of Conventions = Big Fan Base. |

Fastest growing city in America + Tons of Conventions = Big Fan Base. No. Too many travelers + Many other attractions = Small fan base. Give me all the one-off and NASCAR stats you want, but I think that Vegas is a bad place for a sports team that wants some butts in the seats. |

There aren't too many travellers. LV is becoming a huge city. I've been there twice. The locals don't hang out on the Strip. That is touristy. But a rich, relatively young population is fast growing there. There is nothing outside of LV unless you consider the Hoover Dam more than a one day thing. A team would definately succeed.

Yup, bringing back the memories of the 97-98 off season when the Marlins shipped all there players away. If this organization could ever keep there main players for more than 5 years at a time..the possibilities
would be endless.

The problem with Vegas is that there's no place to build a stadium, unless the decide to put it in the middle of the desert. Being in the desert, it'd also have to be a retractable roof stadium like the BOB in Phoenix.

From what I've heard, Stern only wants the ASG there...
Great deal for the Mets, they got a stacked lineup now...
