Reddy Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 QUOTE(max power @ Nov 11, 2007 -> 06:48 AM) If it were somewhere less urban like alabama or mississippi, I would say definitely, that's why it was done. No evangelical is going to support a team with devil in the name. But Florida? Meh, I dunno. Its still the south, I don't really know. yep... rays of sunlight... cool... but guys it makes sense cuz Florida's the sunshine state. get it? get it? man, looking at it that way how could you NOT like the name? Well done I say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnB Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I think the bigger part of this article is this "And the following night, the Tampa Bay Business Journal reported that the Rays are currently speaking with city leaders about the possibility of building a new stadium by the waterfront downtown. Considering Tropicana Field is widely regarded as one of the worst stadiums in the game, the possibility of a new stadium on the water, which could be a nice tool to attract new fans, is something that should make all baseball fans in the Tampa Bay area very happy." Getting an actual stadium would do wonders for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greasywheels121 Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I really have to wonder if a new stadium is going to do anything for that franchise. Florida doesn't seem to care too much that they have baseball. The Marlins couldn't draw, even with their WS teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
