Old story with the Rays. I was in St. Pete for the beginning (Devil Rays). Much debate on whether south St. Pete (Pinellas County) could support that team. In reality fan attendance has really not even been moderately successful. The commute at the end of rush hour from Hillsborough county is the pits. Contracts with the team owners at the time tied them to St. Pete. Interesting read on how this team survives. I encourage you to look it up.
