    I dunno. I was trying to fit in with the cool kids.

    On the reals, though, I'm glad to see you posting on here more.

    Baseball didn't leave Portland because of a liberal conspiracy. It left because ticket sales were shit. I don't see how an MLB team will support that.

    To be fair, the sales weren't great because AAA is small potatoes.

    MLB is a totally different beast. The sales wouldn't be a problem.

    This. AAA can't be a niche sport like the MLS. MLS really isn't the "minor league" of anything, while AAA has that stigma.

    Lets see.... At least 100. You got to understand, baseball is my first love. I at least went to 100 when the AAA team was here the last time... You could go for $5 bucks and sit anywhere in the upper section... it was a steal. Now with the Hops in the first couple of seasons I've gone to at least 10. + the 4 game package I bought for this year (and probably going to one or two more as well)... So.

    With MLB... I've been to probably a dozen games up in Seattle... a few in Anahiem, Denver, etc.
