You don't know what you're talking about. The Rays consistently have very good television ratings. I mean we were breaking ratings records in our market the last couple of seasons. Rays fans are strong and support this team with great vigor.
It is not our fault that Florida's economy was hit hardest during the recession. And it's not our fault that Rays mangement didn't get a better TV deal.
You want the Rays...take 'em. We're really getting sick of MLB's propaganda to try and get a new stadium built on our dime!!! There's nothing wrong with the Trop. It's very comfortable, clean, and fun. We don't need an open-air stadium in 95 degree 95% humidity (feels like 120). The reason people didn't attend games was because of the economy. We were devasted as a community. The reason we don't attend now is because we are not going to be bitch-slapped like the citizens of Miami were by MLB in that debacle. What for? So a bunch of billionaires and spolied millionaire ballplayers can rip us off some more...as if a $9 20-oz beer isn't bad enough.
You want a new stadium...buy it yourself.
You really don't know the situation.
To the OP: Abstained
