Marlins Stadium Update to Air Tonight on HBO's 'Real Sports'

[Chewford]

I always assumed MLB hoped the Miami and West Palm markets would kind of merge and form one big media market behind the Marlins, because the two combined would be what...the 5th or 6th biggest in baseball?

I live in the Palm Beach area now and I get the impression that no one here considers themselves to be part of Greater Miami.

Miami is a damn long drive.

[Mainge]

About an hour for me.

[Todd]

I wasnt meaning combined literally, just that the two large metro areas in a close vicinity making a larger market then the Marlins would normally have had in just the one or the other?

[CrimsonCane]

Delray Beach would've been a laughable site for a MLB ball park.

The current site is about as good as it could realistically get. Miami is getting more densely populated at a staggering pace and a lot of that population growth is happening within minutes of the stadium.

[Namaste]

I don't like the color scheme but for anyone that does:

[Party]

They'll get a cease and desist letter on Monday.

[Chewford]

I feel like wearing such a shirt would make me appear either self loathing or desperate.

[Namaste]

Yeah, I wouldn't wear that shirt personally because I'm too old for that crap but I support any Loria bashing regardless of bad taste.

Rock on.
--------------------

They'll get a cease and desist letter on Monday.

Any reason they'll get one on Monday? They began offering the shirt on the 17th.

[Beef]

Because now I've seen it so I will send one for free on behalf of the NoBell Loriates

[Bobbob1313]

Well, it’s a little bit past the 1 week anniversary from our unbelievable night at Marlins Park

Oh my goodness those guys are the most annoying.

[Beef]

Because you love loria

And because the night was as unbelievable as a fun night of Taj Gibson regular season bball
