I think that the stadium barely seats 25k people (maybe a bit more, but I don't think so) and in order to make the numbers work they need constant sell outs, which is tough even for the best teams to do, let alone a team that's been among the worst in the game for years and is coming from a minor league stadium. They're counting on opposing fans going to the games like they do for NFL games, but baseball isn't the same; unless they can figure out a way to make all of the home games Fri-Sun, that is (and I doubt that's even possible).

Say what you want about the Trop, it wasn't that bad of a place to stay. They just re-did it about 10 years ago, the pool area was pretty nice, and it was easy to get around in. This is a prime location for a casino/resort, and putting a stadium there sounds odd to me.
