The Trop is done. I'm two minutes away from the stadium. It's a gut punch, but it's over.
My Company has done some work with Boyd Company and I believe they're located in South Florida (Boca Raton?) and that's where he lives but they do business all over the State including Orlando and Tampa so I don't think John was being a total homer here.
Rays are waiting for the lockout. If the owner win the value of teams skyrocket
brodie – I think the goal in communication early on for the Dreamers is they want to people to be able connect the dots between Orlando and Las Vegas. as much of people point to the non-fandom in Vegas they are probably going to end up with all 4 major professional sports within a 10-15 year period and that's remarkable.
remember, the Dreamers announced their group in 2019 so they have been at this for awhile and if you asked any national reporter or writer to name their top 5 expansion cities up until a month ago Orlando would not have been on any of their lists. so Orlando has to be really loud throughout this process and comparing itself to Vegas only helps then in that regard.
The Dreamers ultimately need tourist tax dollars for this project that has to be approved by the Orange County Board of County Commissioners and so once again hitting the tourism angle and what it will do/and draw from tourism is very important also to position themselves as worthy for those dollars.
It’s MLB rivalry week let’s see how attendance is between the Rays and Marlins and A’s vs Giants and will there be sell the team shirts in SF from bitter A’s fans who want to get in some of their last digs
I'm an Orlando based Yankees fan from New York. I am ready to let my kids become Orlando Rays fans. We are ready to be season ticket holders.
Las Vegas is smaller media market than Milwaukee?
The theme parks make a ton of money with longer hotel stays. Disney and Universal both partner or operate hotels.
Adding a day for baseball attracts people who will stay for a week instead of a few days.
That's more money for the theme parks.
Here’s Brodie Brazil :
I live in Polk City, FL, it’s on I-4, halfway between Orlando and Tampa. The sports fans here in Polk City, Auburndale, Winter Haven, and Lakeland largely see Orlando and Tampa as one market. People here that root for the Rays and Bucs also support the Magic. The additional lanes on I-4 are almost complete. The drive from Tampa to Orlando is not onerous. Rays fans living in Tampa would not be losing their team if the Rays move to Orlando. BTW, the Western outskirts of Tampa and the Sea World area is not 90-miles apart
It just makes the most sense to move to Orlando , Tampa had there opportunity and blew it the only thing Tampa had planned was to build a new ball park in the exact same location 😂 I mean what a joke. Ybor was there only good location for the rays and now it is being developed by other projects. It’s time to move to Orlando if MLB wants to make more money with the rays because it has a better location , more tourist foot traffic in that area and a top of the line dome ball park.
No I don't think so
Always money available for a new stadium, never any for public health education or transportation…The rich get richer
Screw the trop
I live just north of Orlando about 45 minutes or so. My father retired from MLB after 30 years and always thought Orlando was prime for an MLB team. In my youth, he would allow me to come down during spring training around the Orlando area to scout college teams, etc.
I think there is a marketing angle that is HUGE if this project comes to fruition. Think of sponsorship capabilities. Conceivably, you could cross-market Disney World on some nights/weekends/series and then swap with Universal and their promotions. What about SeaWorld nights?
You want to get children into the new Dreamer's stadium, do Disney and/or Universal meet and greets with photo ops, etc.? Popcorn buckets, themed to this style cross-promotion, would be stellar. What about promotional baseball jerseys/hats also cross-promoted with Disney/Universal? Would they even participate? I don't know, but that's a potentially huge carrot that Tampa/St. Pete or Las Vegas don't have.
The Trop needed a new roof even before the hurricane. It’s possible the insurance companies refused to insure it or wanted very high premiums, which is why it got dropped. This happens typically to Florida homeowners when they need a new roof.
The roof needed replacing even without a hurricane. Let’s not blame the storm
This makes me SICK how Orlando and Tampa have been pitted against each other. Both Orlando and Tampa are great sports towns…sorry to the doubters. They are both deserving of a team. Sadly we all know that MLB will never allow a third team in Florida, and will point to the horrible and record setting low attendance of the Marlins and Rays as justification. So the only way Orlando will ever get a team to lure one from inside the state. Equally the New Yorkers who run MLB will never allow a team to leave their playground of Miami. So Orlando has no other options but the Rays. But my opinion is, with Tampa Bay, we have 30 years of attendance data that ranks among the worst in MLB. Let Orlando have a shot to save the team. Speculating that it will be worse in Orlando seems mute because it really cant get much worse than what we have seen.
It would be good to review the role of the Chicago White Sox and Jerry Colangelo in getting the “Tampa” franchise put in St. Pete, which is on the wrong side of the Bay.
Brodie, I am a 15 year Orlando resident who has an MBA and works on International Drive right down the street from this site. I will just say this: if this were to go to a referendum it would get absolutely crushed. The vast majority of people here do not care about baseball or sports in general, and there is little appetite to spend even more TDT funds on another venue. We already have an NBA arena for all the arena events, a giant football stadium for large concerts and festivals (which has no tenant, probably the Jaguars in 2027 but other than that has no tenant other than the yearly bowl games, which have become a joke). Plus we have concert venues like Hard Rock Live and House of Blues, and UCFs basketball arena and football stadium. And on top of that 9 major theme parks, 5 major waterparks, etc etc. An MLB stadium doesn't do anything for us, we can already get all the acts we want and if they don't come here they will go to Ray-Jay or the amphitheater in Tampa.
Also a 45,000 seats is totally asinine. Sure the Yankees, Red Sox, and Cubs will draw and I'm sure some fans from other teams will come to see their team, but the vast majority of the time most of those seats will be empty. I'm sure some people that are here for conventions, field trips, group outings, and families that are on vacation will go, but 45,000 seats is so overkill it's laughable.
The real question is will the mayor and the commissioners listen to the hotel lobby, or will they listen to the residents? If the past is any indication the lobbyists usually come out ahead.
