I don't know...I think Seattle might benefit from a regional rivalry like that. And I think they have the population to support two teams.Big Amoco Sign wrote: ↑May 11 21, 2:10 pmPortland would be cool but it likely won't happen. Mariners would block any move to Portland or Vancouver.

So does Medford OR. We'd fill up Harry&David Field for you Athletics - all 2,178 seats and the lawn most nights I'd bet!
