"The great thing about PGE Park is 1) it's a downtown location, 2) Portland has good public transit, so no need for most fans to drive, 3) the park wasn't built exclusively for baseball, so converting it to a SSS is relatively…"

"Well, I haven't lived in the Tampa Bay area in thirty years, but I don't think traffic patterns overall have changed much, looking at Google maps, if you're coming from the west, you've got one bridge to go over, which adds…"

" The Yankees Single A team would be in Orlando, THAT is why they would become the Orlando Yankees. Also, people don't seem to realize that the relocation of the Tampa Yankees wouldn't happen until 2013."

"Why everybody has a problem if the stadium is in st. petersburg, clearwater or somewhere else? You have to drive anyway...so I don´t care where the stadium is.... I am not a big fan from the gsf and the usf and the tu are better (we say in…"

"I thought the Yankees will be moving the spring training to orlando? Why would orlando name their team Yankees..hint..hint. As for GSF I would like to see it demolished and for the rowdies to build a SSS there."

"move to St Pete and it makes it hard for myself & Derek to make games that is why we don't go to baseball games"

"ya, have to agree. If Al Lang could be picked up and dropped in a new location on the Tampa side of the bay I'd be all for. I just don't think the Rowdies being based that far south in the area is a good idea at all. I know it's sad…"

"Two things. First, GSF won't be vacant anytime soon. Even if/when the minor league team moves up to Orlando, the stadium will still be used for spring training. It would make a lot more sense for a soccer team though since we wouldn't be…"

"^Jay Not a bad idea, but the most important part of our future stadium plans is the ability to OWN our stadium. Short term, that may work, but we have to get 100% of the proceeds in order to be financially viable for years and years to come (part…"

"Mobsters, Throwing this out there as a source of discussion among us. What would you think of the Rowdies (oops, sorry Classic Ink, Inc.) moving to Al Lang Field at Progress Energy Park on the downtown waterfront of St. Petersburg? This baseball…"

"I heard on the radio that Orlando Yankees is the new name of the AAA baseball team and that they are building a stadium near the orange convention center. So it looks like the team will play in 2013. My question is what about the vacant Steinbrenner…"

"I agree. Trying to be open minded with this article but seems to be the same old issues, the Rays, and of course 'money'. We need to keep the Rowdies away from our other sports teams in every wich way possible. Does the Rowdies FO have any…"

"I wanted to add something I noticed on Saturday. I usually sit with the Mob but sat in the adjacent section last game. There were a few people in the very back of the Mob section who would start the FC Tampa Bay chant, and then the adjacent section…"

"I think it is critical that the SSS be owned by the Rowdies and not the State/County etc. We will never get confetti or streamers in there if the Rowdies don't own it. Much less drums."
