Basically what Mats said. The teams that did well after moving into a new park were the ones that were doing well before moving into a new park. Teams that were not relying upon opening a new stadium as being a key cog to their success.
An example to look to would be the Indians, whose move to Jacobs Field in the mid-90's was a huge step into transforming that franchise into a viable operation.
