If there's less of a market, there's very little that can be done about it short term. And even long term, Tampa is never going to have the market that New York or Boston or even Los Angeles have.
of course the spending has to be in the right areas. i thought that would go without saying. you cant just start a TV network without having a quality team to show. spending $ on the best possible players should be the #1 priority.

if you transplanted the yankee roster to TB or MIL, then yes they would sell out.
