The Rays are quite a team, involved in a terrific race for American League East supremacy with the Yankees. Both teams are 81-50 and the closet pursuer, the Red Sox, are 7-games back and appear to be finally fading.
Last night the Rays were victorious over the Blue Jays, 6-2 at Tropicana Field. It would have been a sellout...if The Trop had a capacity of 11,968.
Come on Rays fans. What gives?
I know the stadium is bad. I know that people in Tampa don't like to travel to St. Petersburg. I get it.
But if your team one day vacates the area and moves elsewhere, don't cry about it. From the looks of things, you really don't care too much about watching your team play.
The problem for the Rays would be, where would you move, or threaten to move to? Owners in all sports have played the "if we don't get a stadium deal (taxpayer funded!) we'll have to leave town." But where could the Rays go? Las Vegas? Vancouver? Montreal? Doubt Major League baseball would approve any of those cities? Charlotte? How about Pittsburgh? They don't have a big league team but have a wonderful stadium.
