They neglected one huge piece of the puzzle. TWO teams have to head to Arizona if Reds do. Ballpark Digest did they heard that Orioles were having some problems finalizing their deal in Ft Lauderdale.

Not necessarily. There have been rumors of an AZ-based team moving its ST operations to Florida. A budget-minded AZ-based operation would likely find a good deal on the accommodations that the Reds are leaving behind.Originally Posted by JaxRed

The only place I've ever heard of this two teams rule Jax is in your posts here - where did you hear/read that this is the rule? Why has it never been the case in the past?
And I don't understand why Milwaukee would move to Vero - they have a brand new ballpark complex in Maryvale.
The only teams that don't have parks built in the last decade in Arizona are
Oakland - who had the Phoenix Muni completely rebuilt in two-three seasons ago.
Anaheim - Just signed a long term deal with Tempe to stay
White Sox - Moving to Glendale
Diamondbacks - Not an option to move to Florida
Rockies - Probably the only real team that has an old ballpark and would be looking to move - but the chances of them going to Florida would probably be slim and none.
So the chances of a team moving in the other direction would be extremely remote.
True, and one rumor had Milwaukee looking at Vero. I still think AZ is long shot.

I'd love it.

Seems like we're split. All the folks that live, coincidentally, in Arizona and California (or the west coast) think it's wonderful and those of us in the east or midwest think it stinks.
I say it's spinach and to Hell with it!
Split the difference and have Spring Training in Texas.
And Cincinnati is located in what region?
I think you just made the argument for why the Reds probably need to stay in Florida.

Go Gators!
Can't wish for anything better then the desert and the Reds in March.
I hope this never happens. If it does, there will be a lot fewer fans attending, including me and two others in my family, because it costs a whole lot less to drive three people than it does to fly three people.
You'd be absolutely surprised how many Ohio license plate show up a spring training. I can't imagine that will continue, not in high numbers anyway.
