CatnipOligarchy Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 WASHINGTON -- The chair of the District of Columbia Council proposed Friday that a new ballpark be built next to RFK Stadium instead of a site south of the U.S. Capitol, a plan that could cause Major League Baseball to drop the scheduled move of the Montreal Expos to Washington. http://www.sportsline.com/mlb/story/7859483 - full story unbelievable.. although in a previous thread, i said i thought the expos would be in montreal in 2005.. im sure this will make expos nation happy, all 4 of you.

Pink Floyd Veteran Posted November 8, 2004 Veteran Share Posted November 8, 2004 In fact fred, I will probably make some ppl mad but the fact is that Montreal has too many imigrants that don't care about this sport. I personally don't like baseball at all and I don't blame people to get less interested in baseball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any case, I want them back. I go to see them playing atleast 10 times a summer since 7 years. 80% of those matches are really good show! ****** americans, now they dare to steal our Glorious Expos! ABC and a half!

They're trying to change that though, and a real sports team would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steffan Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 There's a delay in the vote for funding on the stadium and Council Chair Cropp proposed a new deal which had the city paying $150 and $350 million coming from private sources. The vote will take place, hopefully, in two weeks. source: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?i...TC-DT9705204233 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayepecks Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 You guys do realize that this is just a proposal? And that MLB isn't likely to reject this, even if moved... correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
