Lile the bears' fanbase, I think most sox fans are in the burbs, so a move to some suburban location probably won't be met that harshly

But a move to Nashville or some such other market? Yeah, that'll anger the blood.

I don't think that's true anymore.

Over the past decade or so, there have been 3 new MLB ballparks built, plus the potential new A's stadium in Vegas:

Rangers new ballpark - 2020
Braves new ballpark - 2017
Marlins new ballpark- 2012

None of those 4 are in downtown/downtown-adjacent locations.
