probable: Marlins are gone before 2028... leaving a great stadium empty
probable: Rays are gone 2028 due to cost and no location to put a new stadium
Idea: share team between Montreal and Hollywood/Miami, FL. Huge population of Canadian french down there in spring/early summer and fall, they would fill the 20 or so games in the early season making it possible for Montreal to build a cheaper outdoor stadium with more ambiance downtown. And many french speaking Canadians have vacation homes down here or time shares...
Of course, use the Marlins park in SoFla. It is awesome, SoFloridians just have too much to do in Mid Summer to get a loyal fan base...
The owner/Billionaire's already stole our tax money to build it, may as well let someone use it...
SoFla needs a gimmick to get a loyal fan base.
A fanatic fan base from Canada/Hollywood FL may create the momentum needed to fill the Miami stadium...
a great gimmick. Think it would work??
Oh, and some games in late fall and playoffs in Hollywood/Miami too depending on weather. Great for hotel, airlines, tourism businesses and maximizes television audience...
Not sure if St. Pete can compete with that gimmick or get a new stadium on it's own...
