Imagine Yankee Stadium in White Plains rather than the Bronx, with no public transportation available to get there, and most games beginning at a time that would require driving through 20 miles of rush hour traffic. Put the Rays in Ybor City near Amalie Arena, and the ticket sales will double. It's either that or hello to des Montreal Rayons.
If the Rays played in Pittsburgh you would not have been able to get a ticket all season long. At least their management knows how to do something with limited resources. The people running the Buccos are just pathetic.
