In my opinion it's because many feel baseball teams/stadiums should be part of a city's fabric -part of the urban experience. Their decision to move out to the suburbs (no matter their reasons) with zero mass transit access was viewed by many as them turning their backs on the city, so that's why you have folks within the city who want their move to fail (and in turn the The Battery as a whole). Also, it just contributes to our awful history of sprawl.
