So Tampa Bay Ray have received permission form MLB to “explore the possibility†of playin some home games in Montreal next year.
It makes a lot of sense. I mean, what’s better than playing in a decrepit empty stadium? Playing in two decrepit empty stadiums!!
This has to be the biggest dump of a stadium in MLB. How they even manage to draw an average “crowd” of 14,500 to this place is incredible. (This image must have been taken on the night with their largest crowd ever.)
Where would they play in Montreal? Could it be any worse?
They should just move the franchise outright at this point. Have never drawn well since they were formed; even when they won the AL pennant in 2008 hey had trouble selling out playoff games and in recent years haven’t even bothered to offer the upper levels as available seating.

They would play in the Big O. A crappy old stadium that badly needs to be replaced.
No, not in the Big Owe… The group vying to bring it back has already secured the rights to land downtown, adjacent to the Peel Basin, where a new, smaller outdoor stadium could be built…
Not saying it’s a good idea, but there’s a very well organized, well funded group leading this charge. I think it could be a good compromise for us, in a city that can’t support the full season without a covered stadium…
It makes a lot of sense. Play in Tampa Bay in spring and fall and in Montreal over the summer. They just need to change the name of the team to the Snow Birds.

Given the history of the Expos turned Nationals, I think Internationals would be fitting.
