Okie Oh Yeah

Which league will follow the NBA into Oklahoma first?  This looks like the precedence to me.  Which Major League, diamond or ice,.... or MLS?  Well, soccer may get there before big league baseball, but I wouldn't be surprised if it plays out this way.

Two-Place team coming to MLB

I'm just going to leave this right here.  Rays a part-time place team...

Forbes.com: Montreal Split Affects As Many As Four Cities

East Coast Expos.  Rays?

The Montreal-Tampa Internationals ?

North American Rays?
Don't stop there, MLB.  Save Oakland by parking the West Coast A's part time in Vegas and/or Portland.

Tale of Two or more Cities.  I'm more for the Florida Marlins again on both grapefruit coasts, but this can be an evolving process where my Northland Lumbjacks (or North Country) expand to Montreal and Vancouver.

My thoughts are this:  Montreal might in fact be the worse city of its scale to flirt this concept with.  I'm not sure they'll sing the tune of part-time lovers.  It seems better of an idea with a Canadian city. Or maybe I'm wrong and they will enjoy the international aspect, though I thought it neater for Vegas, but geographically this eastern standard thing is wiser.

Albuquerque and Santa Fe Sporting

The Oh whoa is Oakland, O- Town jerseys are good.

Ohio Hardwood

Whenever that is....

When the likes of Louisville MLB, ...some more Triple-A teams

With international cities like Quebec City, Vancouver and Monterrey stepping up to fill in Triple-A expansion slots of the future for the likes of MLB Charlotte, San Antonio, Nashville and Vegas further down the road, this game of expanding by up to 8 more pro teams per one MLB expansion franchise is a finite dance.  So, why not have a Triple-A game before or after the Big Show one at the big show park?

So, when Kentucky gets big league ball, like with lets say a Louisville Lumber club, the Bats could remain in town as their Trip-A affiliate,.... and even play in the big house.  Cincinnati can then get an expansion Trip-A team.  The Ohio Oaks could be their affiliate splitting time for home games between Great American Ball Park and the Dayton Dragons stadium.  Does Ohio Pros sound more snazzy?  What about their team name as the Cincinnati Natives?  Ohio Big Dancers.

On April 27, the Hartford Yard Goats changed their name to Steamed Cheeseburgers for a game.

NASCAR Part Two

This is mapping more of and continuance of this post:  ProSportsExpansion.blogspot.com_2016_NASCAR-is-spectacle-i-suppose

I've added some spots to the map.
Little Rock or Memphis?  Tough one.  I suppose the tipping of my preference will go in the spirit of expanding.  Memphis has stuff.  Let's lean Little Rock.

I'll forgo the Inland Empire for the likes of Riverside or San Bernadino for now.  The environment and all.  And proximity of LA and Sin City.
I gave a big win for bolstering Boise instead of Washington state, even though there is a track near Seattle (Evergreen Speedway).  Again, the environment and all.  Portland closed their's earlier this century.

Reference.com.  Martinsville Speedway in Ridgeway, VA is the shortest track at a little over 0.52 miles.

Look at this list of old track closures, and other venues like Xfinity ("minor league") and IndyCar .  The spots are already in place.  wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NASCAR_tracks#Defunct_or_closed_tracks




What about Alaska?  There are smaller venues going on that could be bolstered up.

Is nine additions good for now?
