So PR and I talked about this awhile ago and I looked into it more today. It seems to me that the biggest thing keeping the Montreal market unattractive is a ridiculously low per capita income of 18,700.
If that is bumped to 24,000 (still among the lowest, or the lowest, of any current market) - Montreal becomes capable of offering a 140M budget for their owner.
Personally, I've always hated the very existence of Tampa and I used to love the Expos. I talked with G and he'd love to bring the Expos back, so let's talk about relocation.
Here are the options I'm interested in hearing opinions on:
1 - No relocation. If you're opposed to it, please post why.
2 - Yes to relocation, but Tampa has to pay full stadium price for the move
3 - Yes to relocation, but we treat it like real life and the new host city basically foots the entire bill
4 - Yes to relocation, but we have Tampa pay half the costs of a new stadium.
Thoughts?
