Yeah, But Where Would They Move?

This column quotes the owner of the Tampa Bay Rays as implying -- practically flat out guaranteeing -- that the team's lousy attendance -- not even 30,000 for a playoff game! -- that he won't be able to sign any free agents and won't be able to maintain the team's on-field success. He obviously wants a new ballpark, and the Trop IS a pit, but would they draw better with a nicer park, whether in St. Pete or downtown Tampa? Truth is, it's not THAT hard to get to the park now, and to watch a game, it's not a bad experience and not that expensive. So why don't fans show up? And could you blame the team if it moved?
