They'll always be the Indians to me, and I'm a Tiger fan. Getting Tom Hanks to try and sell that hideous name change was just more proof it was a sucky idea.

Not only is Tropicana Field a crappy ballpark it's in a crappy area. I went to one game and the cops had no, I mean zero, clue on how to control the flow of traffic. They relied on our nororiously crappy traffic lights to control the flow and then spent their time yelling at drivers and chasing people out of the left-lane they needed to be in to get to the crappy parking lot because they were in an intersection, an intersection that didn't matter because they did such a crappy job in the first place and relied on crappy traffic lights. If I sound a bit redundant it's because that's how things roll in St. Pete. Florida is also known for narrow streets, especially in the older parts of a city which means they would have to tear down entire business sections to widen the roads to the point they could support large volumes of people. And then there is the problem of so many transplants like me living here. I'm a Tiger fan. Have been my whole life and will remain one until the day I die. The Bolts actually have the best homegrown fanbase in the Tampa/St. Pete area. Go figure, hockey is king in the heart of Dixie...eh. All we need now is Tim Horton's and Don Cherry. I know there is a plan in place to build another crappy ballpark in the same crappy area but they would be better served if they moved the franchise to Orlando. Or moved it out of the state entirely. Florida is all about spring training and minor league franchises. The market in the state can barely support one team let alone two. I may have given Tropicana a crappy review but crappy is as crappy does. That place sucks.
