If Major League Baseball decides to expand in the future, what cities would you like to see MLB located in and

I would like to see one in Monterrey, Mexico.  Here is why MLB would like it as well as the fans.\n1.  Population of 3 million.\n2.  Lots of corporate sponsors\n3.  Large baseball following\n4.  Good year round climate\n5.  Another city to vacation to\n6.  See the attached links.

SBC Park or is it ATT park. Anyway, I'ld like to check them ALL out, but I'm dreaming....\n\nGo Giants and BONDS!

Chicago, New York and Los Angeles. Also, Oakland is just a bridge's drive across the bay from San Fracisco. It's probably a quicker trip from AT&T park to the Coliseum in Oakland than from Dodgers Stadium at Chavez Ravine to the park in Anaheim, depending upon traffic, which can be hell in both places. East coast people tend to forget that California has five baseball teams and the largest percentage of major league ball players come from Cali.\n\nBack in the day, Boston had the Braves and Red Sox, Philadelphia had the A's and the Phillies and St. Louis had the Browns and the Cardinals. Also, NYC had the Dodgers (Brooklyn), Giants and Yankees.

Baseball. Look at all of the foreign players that are entering the majors. Worldwide appeal is rapidly growing. And farm systems add to the excitement of building a team as well.

I'll take them one at a time:\n\n1 Mexico City- This would be a good choice. Big stadium, big market (all of Mexico). This could be a logical first global expansion point.\n2 Birmingham- I don't think the NFL wants to expand much more into the south. I could be wrong. Alabama is big for college football-I'm sure it'd be a big NFL state.\n3 Las Vegas- Absolutely not. For all the Pro Leagues, Las Vegas is the untouchable city. The gambling/sports connection is one they stay far away from.\n4 Hawaii- Not sure what kind of market Hawaii would be. Cities with weather that good, typically have people who make their own fun outdoors.\n5 Canada- Possible, although the late year weather would be a problem. Also, Canadian government protection of CFL could be a problem.\n6 Germany Could be a good first expansion if they went global.\n7 the UK- Would be most probable point for european expanisio\n8 Oklahoma City- Not sure. most people there are already Cowboy fans.\n9 Albuqueque- Could be a possibility. Small overall population of state is a drawback.\n10 LA- There will be a team in LA\n11 San Antonio- Texas is large enough to support another team. San Antonio would be a good bet.\n12 others- Portland, Connecticut, Virginia(Va Beach/Norfolk), Orlando(too close to Tampa ?), Louisville(too close to Cincy ?) Puerto Rico. If Cuba became a free nation after Castro's death, Havana(who played NCAA football in the 30's and 40's).

New York isn't the only state with 2 teams.  As so many people have pointed out, Ohio has the Indians and the Reds, Illinois has the Cubs and the White Sox, Texas has the Rangers and the Astros, Florida has the Marlins and the Devil Rays, Missouri has the Cardinals and the Royals, Pennsylvania has the Phillies and the Pirates, California's got 5 teams in the A's, Giants, Dodgers, Angels, and Padres, and a case could be made for the Washington D.C./Maryland area having two teams in the Nationals and the Orioles.\n\nIf you're talking about the city of New York, they're not the only city to have two teams either.  The Cubs and the White Sox both play in Chicago, and even Los Angeles has two teams (can anyone forget the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim?), although the Angels play down the I-5 in a completely different county.\n\nAnd wait, I'm still not done.  The Yankees have been throwing money at players for years and yet they haven't won a World Series since 2000 when they beat the Mets.\n\nDude, check your facts before you start shooting your mouth off.

pittsburgh should relocate to winnepeg.  their fans are great there.  they have more people who would watch the games .  that would put detroit  in the eastern conference where they belong.  the face of the west would change dramatically if it happened.

Los Angeles needs a footbll team not Orange County whom used to host the Rams, LA is the place and they should build a new Stadium in Santa Monica near Venice that way people wont be hot>

Absolutely behind u on that.Some of these smaller cities have but one news paper,so naturally NY would dominate.Besides there is a lot of money behind them and they want to keep their jobs.It has been biased from day one.If these smaller franchise could spend money on players like the Yankees have, they wouldn't have won all those championships.

1. Mets \n2. White Sox\n3. Tigers\n4. Astros\n5. Red Sox\nI would have to take the Sox staff over the tigers only because they have the post season experience. The tigers sure do have some good young arms though.

Houston\nSt. Louis\nDallas\nIndianapolis\n\nNew York City, Chicago and San Francisco would have a hard time because there isn't much area in the city itself to build all the facilities, nor are there facilities that would work well for all the sports. It has to be a city with room to spread around it and area to build the facilities.

I don't really know anything of the 1A, but i would like it to be Queretaro. \nIn fact i would love that Queretaro could get an soccer team in the First Division, they deserve it, the stadium they have is great, and there are lots of soccer fans in Queretaro as well.

Yes, I would.  FINALLY someone who feels the same way I do.  Usually, it's the large market teams who hate the idea of this.  Currently teams such as the Red Sox, Yankees, and a handful of others, rule the league.  Why?  Because of their ownership's huge pocket-books.  The team I root for, and many others, aren't so fortunate.  We live in smaller markets, and simply can't shell out the big bucks for big-name players.  It's not because of our losing records that we don't draw huge crowds every game, allowing us to make more money.  It's the fact that we just live in smaller cities with smaller populations.  Beside that fact, we have lower ticket prices, because the market value in our area doesn't support higher ticket prices.  If we lived in an area where we could charge more, we'd have more capital to spend on the big name players.  However, the reality is that we don't.  Why should we be punished because of our geographical location?  These larger-market teams have payrolls 4 or more times that of the smaller-market clubs.  It simply isn't fair, and we just can't compete.  Face it.  It's simple.  If you don't have enough capital to spend, you won't even compare to the clubs who do...and your record at the end of the season will show it.  If you can't afford the big home-run sluggers, and ace pitching staff, you won't even be a match to these larger teams.  As it stands, look at the All-Star game every year.  All the starters you see play for large-market teams, and are making huge salaries that small-market teams couldn't even dream of affording.  Some people say this isn't true, because of the fact that you do see a small-market team make it to the post-season from time to time.  This does happen periodically, but it doesn't happen consistently from year to year...unlike the Yankees, who are in the post-season almost every single year.  It doesn't take a rocket scientist to determine that as they way it stands, the MLB isn't even a fair contest.  So yes, a salary cap is definitely needed.

Dallas and Houston have both had MLB teams for decades.\n\nThere are also many minor league teams in the state.
