Poll Question: Orlando or ExRays?




Happy 2020 Rays Nation!

As you've likely heard, the Tampa Bay Times reported that Pat Williams has met with Matt Silverman and Brian Auld regarding the possibility of the Rays moving to Orlando. Although it's difficult to take Mr. Williams seriously and Orlando has many shortcomings as a MLB market, Orange County does boast an impressive attribute, namely annual bed-tax revenue more than three times that of Pinellas and Hillsborough counties combined. While Stu Sternberg continues to push his split city plan, it's hard to imagine him turning up his nose at a $1.2 billion domed stadium funded by tourism taxes.

So what would you prefer, a split season with Montreal or a full-time team in Orlando? If you live in Florida and prefer the split season concept, I'm especially interested in your rationale so, if you would be so kind, please elaborate with a comment.
