January 9, 200620 yr the article mentioned orlando, I hope orlando is a serious contender because once they move out of florida they are no longer the marlins Yea, come on up to Orlando. Never get a stadium here either but come on up anyway. They can play in the Citrus bowl for free. :lol
January 9, 200620 yr Marlins: The Marlins on Monday continued visiting prospective relocation cities with a stop in Portland, Ore., which was among the runners-up to Washington, D.C., for the Montreal Expos. Visiting from the Marlins were president David Samson, vice chairman Joel Mael and senior vice president of stadium development Claude Delorme. The Marlins in December visited San Antonio. Other prospective locations include Las Vegas, northern New Jersey and Monterrey, Mexico. The Marlins have traded once-touted middle infielder Josh Wilson to Colorado for a player to be named later or cash, according to the Sun-Sentinel. Wilson hit .257 with 82 RBIs last season for Triple-A Albuquerque, but went just 1-for-10 in an 11-game trial with the Marlins last September. MLB.COM
January 10, 200620 yr Samson on WSVN: I'm trying to picture where everything would be if we won a World Series in Portland. "We are still committed to South Florida". :plain Samson also said he has 5 more cities to visit. Vegas Charlotte Buffalo Indy Jersey ???
January 10, 200620 yr I think that you can say good bye to Portland, I feel that S. Florida is the best bet to get a stadium. Most cities are in the same boat, they have no money to fund. It seems that Portland would have less fan support than S. Florida. Here is an article from the visit to Portland http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/base....portland.0291/ I just do not see them going to any other cities Northern New Jersey would be worse too many Yankees and Mets fan. Vegas amybe, but the gambling issues is troubling Charlotte, nice place but woill they have the funding for a stadium and teh fan support Buffulo and Monterrey maybe but again will they have any funding for a new stadium, it seems that it is not taht easy to get funds for a stadium, S. Florida is not the only ones. look at the Nationals, it look like they are hitting a wall with the stadium issues.
