Mariners attendance has been in a nose dive last couple years. Unless your winning going to be a hard sell.

Seattle fans are notoriously fickle.

Cheering for the team with the longest active streak of missing the playoffs of any major sport hasn’t been easy.

I remember when the Blazers were giving away playoff tickets against the Mavericks in the early 200s.

Is Lloyd Center big enough?

Logistics nightmare. Only positive is underground parking already in place but they can't use that as it is. The idea is max is in place already and it's fairly close to I-5 as well.
T-1 and T-2 is the best option in the entire city.

IMO Not near big enough of an area. No way a group will locate a team in areas that have many homeless and destruction from rebels.

As if there are any major metro areas without homeless people or demonstrations which cause damage...

Vegas doesn't need 3 major teams. There's only so much tourists can go watch and baseball will be too slow for them. That is my hope anyway.

They have a larger metro population than portland does. Wouldn't all be about tourists.

Las Vegas does have the geographical advantage in terms of cartographic location. :( close to Arizona, LA, Colorado.

But that could also be their downfall.... we need a 2nd team up here. Natural rivalry, etc.
 
What I meant was that I looked at multiple sources and each one had Portland metro ahead. One of your sources had the metro at 2.1?

Must not be including Vancouver and SoWa.
 
When I looked at 2019 #'s, Las Vegas has just over 2.2M and Portland has just over 2.4M. Portland would have the higher population for sure in 2021, but Vegas will have easier time finding a location and building the infrastructure to support it.

They're also the sexy pick
 
Oakland A's aren't going anywhere. This is a move by the league to put pressure on the local government to agree with the plan.

Either way, not trying to argue which is the bigger city. Just that vegas wouldn't be relying solely on tourists.
