There is forces working against a Chicago departure and it’s a different situation than the bears
- I doubt MLB will agree to a location that isn’t downtown adjacent. It’s been a priority for recent and upcoming ballpark locations.
- A relocation to a weak market like Nashville, Charlotte or Portland is unlikely. The quantity of companies and their corporate sponsorship. The ease of attracting fans with disposable income is unmatched. I realize there’s an empty spot on a map geographically, making Nashville logical. But imagine the relocation fees, stadium funding, and lack of an established fan base. It never seems to be a problem for NFL, but with MLB it’s complicated.
