I know all signs are pointing to DC or Norfolk, but wouldnt it be great if Las Vegas got a MLB team?
I really think Las Vegas would be a great choice. The casinos can front up for a ballpark, and make a boatload packaging vegas trips w/ your local team's game thrown in. The marketing tie-ins are huge.
As for aversions to gambling towns, thats a dead issue. Casinos are in how many states now? 38?
Not to mention the closest teams to Vegas are Denver and Phoenix both a good 10 hours away.
Use UNLV/UNR rules: No gambling on the team in the state.
Wouldnt it be awesome to have a Ballpark downtown, or even in the strip? I wanna see some Billionare or something build a casino/hotel/ballpark. That would rock.
