Braves may leave Disney after 2017

[Next Big Thing]

Boston won 2013 and SF won 2014 The 2013 and 2014 teams were totally different and there was NO chemistry on the field this year in Boston unlike last year.

Oh I completely understand that. They had no heart, no soul. I pretty much quit on the season by June since I live in Florida and have to order the extra innings package to see their games. Not worth paying to watch a losing team.

The Phillies finished 73-89 and the Red Sox finished 71-91.

So specifically your team sucked two games worse than my team did.

And unless your name is Ken Casey, I'm done with this conversation.

Nah, all arguments are moot unless you're a Giants fan. The Royals had a great year this year, but I don't doubt for a second that they would have preferred to win the 2013 World Series and finish in last place in 2014 in deference to losing in the 2014 World Series.

It appears the Braves are looking to move to Sarasota by 2019:

Disney just needs to lure Tampa away from St Pete and have them play all their regular season games at the Wide World of Sports as no one likes to visit the Trop, except we visiting team fans, but that's mostly just for Red Sox and Yankees series'.

if the Orlando market was rich enough to support a team wouldn't it have already been done by now?
with that said i doubt ANY team would want the additional baggage of playing in a facility they don't have full control over.

Personally, Expand the Champions Stadium to have more seating capacity, and bring a MLB team for Orlando to have and use that as a "home base" per say

you want to deal with all those headaches and traffics when your on vacation? bad idea.

Wait! The Braves left Boston...for Atlanta?

That's funny!

Actually they left Boston for Milwaukee.

If their stadium is swallowed by a sinkhole they will probably move to their brand new stadium they are working on. 19 years in a stadium is just to much for a team...

The stadium was fine but the area it was located was not. The city of Atlanta fell thru on their promises to redevelop the surrounding area.

We don't need anymore stadiums here, and now my tax dollars are being spent on the new Braves stadium, complete waste. Oh yeah and the multi-billion dollar Falcons stadium too. Sarasota can have the Spring Training Braves...
