The biggest surprise seems to be baseball in Riverside considering the three other teams within an hour or two drive.
I don't keep up with hockey, but I thought Hartford already had the Whalers.
Tampa can't get anyone to those baseball games, though I think their biggest problem is the stadium and it's location. The stadium is horrid, but equally bad is that it's 45 minutes on the other side of Tampa. If they played where the Bucs play and the Yankees train, I'd go to 5-10 games a year. As it is, I haven't been since 2002.
