I wonder if they'd consider a team in Charlotte. They always have good minor league attendance and are one of the bigger cities in the U.S. without a pro baseball team.

I wouldn't take that to mean much. Most bars (and restaurants) teeter on the edge of profitability to start with--nature of the business. If your business model relies on the home team making the playoffs, you probably should not be running a bar.Hoot45 wrote: Generally that's probably true. Although, this is a city where they can't afford to pick up my trash on a weekly basis, and where bars literally make or break based on the Cardinals making it to the postseason. I wouldn't underestimate the impact of three fewer nights, as silly as it sounds. I'm not sure I follow the comment about the economic benefit rolling in to other games.
