Tampa Bay Rays, Tropicana Field
First of all, it is in St. Pete!!! Secondly, how you gonna call a dome a field!?!

Saw this note in the New York Times today, "It is the first time in franchise history, the Rays said, that they have sold out three consecutive games. " That sort of says it all about Tampa Bay baseball, even as good as the team has been the last few years, they can't sell tickets.

Is it time to start considering moving the franchise to Durham, NC? The 2010 Census will show massive population growth for the Durham area. Much as we love the Durham Bulls, maybe it is time we had our own Major League team.
