I can't believe the Rays are competing for a playoff spot and they only get 13,000 people to come watch the game??? That is ridiculous! The Rays should move to Raleigh, NC. They would get major fan support!!!
The Rays play in the worst facility in baseball and nobody goes. Even though the Rays won a pennant, nobody goes. Tampa Bay can not support Major League Baseball and does not deserve a quality team like the Rays. Baseball is huge here in Raleigh and the fans would flock to the stadium to watch them play. Look at the attendance at Carolina Hurricanes games, people still go. The College World Series is a huge event here, the sports bars fill up with NC State and Tarheels fans. The Durham Bulls are the AAA affiliate of Tampa Bay and they’re only 25 minutes away. North Carolina is experiencing tremendous growth as the cost of living is so low and the jobs are plenty. The stadium lease in Tampa Bay runs through 2020, and I’d expect to see the Rays leave Florida… it’s just a matter of where they’re going. Bring them here, where they should have been placed to begin with!
