Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 4184857, member: 405"] Many stadiums are owned and maintained by municipalities. Leases could be worked out for alternate facilities that are maybe smaller stadiums, but sure to be filled. Think about the "Field of Dreams" games. Many cities who haven't had MLB baseball before might be clamoring for franchises. It's possible, if a TV network, a handful of cities and a handful of rich guys get behind it. Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos don't strike me as "baseball guys", but Warren Buffet and Bill Gates and Mark Cuban might be. You never know it how it could turn out. The USFL started with less than that, or certainly not much more than than that. Never underestimate the ego of owning a sports team. And how much it could increase in value. [/QUOTE]
