Expos Relocating in 2005

[AsFan]

I am sure you have all heard of the Expos looking to move somewhere else in hopes of building a fan base and getting their team off rock bottom.

Last I heard, they may move to the Washington D.C. area. I have also heard that with the approval of the O's GM that they will play in RFK stadium (only 40 mi. from Oriole Park)



RFK was the formal home of the Washington Senator (MLB) and the Washington Redskins(NFL) and current home of D.C. united(MLS).
It is supposed to be a nice stadium, except the fact of it being a Multi-Purpose staduim, but it will be like the Giants and Candlestick.

Just thought you wanted to know what was going on with the Expos.

I thought that they were going to Puerto Rico or Las Vegas?

This is the latest they are stuck on moving t NORTH CAROLINA or DC and Lagas is not reaLLY saying they want one

They are most likely moving to the D.C. area.

Las Vegas could never support a MLB team. The population in Las Vegas mainly work at night in the casinos.

They would basically have the same problem as they do now.

D.C. is their best bet and they should get a good fan base. And they already have a big stadium for them to use! ;D

Of course its a great place!

All they need to do is choose their owner for the team (MLB currently owns it) their old one screwed the Expos up before.

They need to get in there get a good TV contract get advertising and information out to the people so they can build up a fan base. This should most likely help them rather than hurting them.
