The Tampa Bay Rays should move to Montreal

The Tampa Bay Rays, should move to Montreal and become the Expos. There. I said it. But Rays owner Stuart Sternberg is insisting that the Rays can make it work in Tampa Bay, provided they get a new ballpark, as opposed to the ultimate crapshack that is Tropicana Field, where the Rays have a lease through 2027! They can only get a new park if the City of Tampa Bay gets a huge cash pay off & the Rays paying off the many debts on the dome. Anyways, here are the buried, true facts of Montreal, Quebec, Canada as a baseball city... the Montreal Expos were 1st in attendance every year from 1979-1984. Despite playing in a crapshack stadium (Olympic Stadium), they drew almost 4,400,000 more fans than the Chicago Cubs did at Wrigley Field during that time period! Even in the six seasons ending in '97, when underfunded owners broke up a potential dynasty, the Expos STILL averaged just under 20,000 per game. Think about this equation: A downtown ballpark + great fan base + American League East games against Boston, New York and Toronto = A baseball goldmine!
