WHY was Miami granted a MLB franchise? Like Tampa Bay, there is NO fan base. No one cares, and they didn't care even when the Marlins won two championships. Especially when Miami had no domed stadium. (What person in their right mind would sit outside in that unbearable Florida summer humidity for 3 hours?) At least the Marlins got rid of that horrendous contraption in left center field. The only baseball in the swampland that anyone cares about is Spring Training. The Rays and Marlins should be relocated.
My guess is because Miami is a big city, Tampa was getting recognition because of the Bucs at the time. I'm not executive savvy so don't take my word for it but I think they were trying to expand into bigger markets. I'm a die hard NASCAR fan. NASCAR went through a boom period in the 90s and early 2000s so they decided to build tracks in bigger markets (Chicago, Las Vegas, LA, KC, Dallas) and leave tracks where they had core followings. It worked initially but now, it's backfired. They've had to eliminate grandstands at some of those tracks and when they pop up on the schedule, the crowds are scarce (and I'm being kind).
@@andrewlorenzo6611 Considering the Marlins have owned the lowest attendance threshold since 2018 (excluding 2020) and had been the lowest attended MLB franchise from 2006-2008, it's actually not ignorant. Didn't the Marlins play a game once in the last few years where like less than 1,000 people showed up?
⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️ How about posting a vid on turf maintenance? I’m looking at purchasing the KB-KM Bristle Brush attachment by Stihl to help maintain our residential soccer field (currently being constructed). Also, any interest in possible marketing our field once complete? Using Shaw Sports Turf 💯
Matt Cohen, I’m in Naperville, Illinois just outside of Chicago. My kids played on the turf all Winter long! My husband actually shoveled the field. We did purchase the Stihl brush attachment. It worked great with removing leftover Fall leaf debri from the turf. The field turned out awesome, btw. The turf survived a Chicago Winter. This speaks volumes!
