I'm sure I could think of something else to do in Florida than a ball game. And I love baseball, too. Spring training in Florida is plenty for baseball there. Yay, Grapefruit League.
Well, the Marlins attendance woes are a whole other ballgame. Baseball can't work in Tampa for all the reasons I pointed out. I can and has in Miami. The real problem with the Marlins has been ownership. I mean our previous owner actually sued the teams season ticket holders. Who does that? They have a beautiful stadium with decent public transportation access. The problem has been dishonest, antagonistic, and often explainable business practice. All of that is changing and the situation is already improving.
