The grass is not always greener, it's one idiot or another, and this guy has a track record in sports.

southsider2k5 Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 31 minutes ago, 77 Hitmen said: I was wondering if the Fire stadium news spurred this to move forward now. Regarding 2029, are they timing it for when the current stadium lease is up? It might have spurred the release, but that has been in progress behind the scenes for a long time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make the effort to win back and create new Sox fans and you're far better off than waiting for locals to support a transplanted team.
