Message: [QUOTE="Cowtown, post: 3979142, member: 2350"] But where would/will they play? The Big Owe is one of the big reasons fans didn't come out for the Expos. It's a big, cold, empty tomb in a seedy part of the city. And nobody there is going to foot the bill for a baseball-only stadium in a country where the fans buy tix in Cdn dollars ($.70), and the players get paid in $US. And it's only a matter of time before the snotty sports media there turns their backs on them because none of the players/staff speak French, and the players' kids all have to attend French language schools because their parents weren't educated in English in Quebec. I can see it now, the federal government will have to bail out the team, angering English Canada who already see a disproportionate amount of their tax dollars poured into a province whose only interest in still being in Canada lies in how much they can continue to extort from Ottawa. It's a disaster in the making. [/QUOTE]
