Montana has 3 with over 3k seats, and both Dakotas boasts a ballpark with over 4k. And on a site where I've mentioned some contraction, but overall gabbed on expansion, in most cases having one team splitting time between two stadiums, MLB and their MiLB agreements look to downsizing the overall number of minor leage baseball squads.
We must all try to look forward to the future and so I won't let my mind stop wandering. Know what a good name for a baseball team is? The Micropolitans. So I stare localish.
What about the Wapakoneta Micropolitans v. the Warren County Suburbanites?
Past Dayton, also in between Toledo and Columbus is the city of Lima Ohio, with a ballpark population of 50k people. That would be a good spot of play for an Ohio Micropolitansballclub. They could split time in Athens at the OU Bobcats ballfield for 4k seats.
That would take care of western and eastern Ohio, respectively. We could go more towards the center with this multinode team. In Chillicothe, a collegiate summer team called the Paints play in a stadium with over 3k places to park fans to watch.I could run my mouth further on some of the bigger city metro area counties in Ohio and how the Micropolitans ball fields could be used by community baseball teams as well, but
I'll save it for another time. I'm allowed to wish Merry Christmas to the Easter Bunny if I want. It's America.
And something folks in the likes of Portland to Charlotte can do is invent your own phantom brand of MLB franchise logos,..... in this long meantime.
