Okay, let me try the markets:
[quote=""GBoro Rev""]Tampa[/quote]
Won't work (The Storm are top dog there). They're probably tying to get a lease with Clothiersports Arena to get the OIFL's Tampa Bay Marauders in
[quote=""GBoro Rev""]Orlando[/quote]
Won't work (Preds). Unless they're thinking Kissimmee...
[quote=""GBoro Rev""]Daytona[/quote]
Won't work (T-Birds).
[quote=""GBoro Rev""]West Palm Beach[/quote]
No arena...Unless they're thinking the Expo Center on the Fairgrounds...If they try a tennis court, I'll throw up.
[quote=""GBoro Rev""]Jacksonville[/quote]
Can they afford the Vet or at least Jacksonville Ice? If it's in Green Cove, that's a death sentence?
[quote=""GBoro Rev""]Pensacola[/quote]
Don't the Ice Pilots still have that crazy exclusivity clause? Not that it'll matter, as the Pilots will be dead or dying by Spring '09.
[quote=""GBoro Rev""]Columbus, Ga.[/quote]
Won't work (Lions)
[quote=""GBoro Rev""]Macon, Ga[/quote]
Macon is where teams go to die...
[quote=""GBoro Rev""]Baton Rouge, La[/quote]
Centroplex would work...But do they have deep enough pockets?
[quote=""GBoro Rev""]Myrtle Beach, S.C[/quote]
Is the Convention Center still usable?
[quote=""GBoro Rev""]Memphis, Tenn[/quote]
They WON'T be able to afford FedEx Forum...Do they mean Southaven? (Heck, they might try to get MegaTek Arena and the OIFL's Memphis Crusaders in
)
[quote=""GBoro Rev""]and Mobile, Ala[/quote]
Again, do they have deep enough pockets?
[quote=""GBoro Rev""]He said Premier Sports Management is interested in placing a team in Lakeland, but hasn't yet signed a deal because it's awaiting final word on the Lakeland ThunderBolts' plans.[/quote]
The AIFA has reserved the market for 2009...whether the Bolts come back or not
Proud to be a veteran of these boards for the last 5 years...
