Kind of excited about all the raise possibilities and I understand for people in that St. Pete
area in Tampa there are bigger things.
But since we know that they're going to stay in the Tampa Bay area, the future is secure
with this deal.
This does open up some interesting possibilities.
Them going to Montreal, that'd be cool kind of being a vagabond club.
But Tim Kirchner opened the door to them possibly playing in Miami here at Marlins Park, to
which I say the most obvious thing in the world is Dan's going to be a raised season
ticket holder in Miami. We're going to be rooting against it. He doesn't want this to
be put on his horse. Why? Because he has to go to the game? Yeah. Because they're not
a bigger Rays fan
other than Dick Vitale anywhere in the country.
He's up there with Dickie V in terms of fans
that you associate with a ball club.
It's almost word association now.
Dan Leventhal, Tampa Bay Rays.
If they come to Miami, we're going
to be flipping through channels and seeing them behind the dish.
Right?
They can't do this to Montreal.
They cannot tease Montreal with the raise.
For a season, like, here you go.
Why don't you have the raise for a little bit?
That's so cruel. Half a season.
That's so cruel.
Wouldn't it be a beta test
to see if they can actually support a club?
I think they understand how cruel that would be.
Not just like, hey, two years, peace out, we're gone.
The whole Montreal thing was born out of leveraging them
for a possible move
to see if Montreal could actually support a baseball club.
Why does it cost $100 million to fix the roof of the trough?
Like that seems crazy to me.
Like I can call someone to tent my house
and it's the same material
and they can put that up in like 15 minutes.
Like why can't you just call like fumigators
to put up like the circus tent
right across the roof of the car?
Also, why don't you just take it off and play open state because they can't
I'm curious to know what they release the race by the way, you know the rays that they have in the outfield
So like they released them to like a race sanctuary. Really? Yeah, I'm curious
I know what the price what would be the quote on the drainage system because
To see that price is wild and I understand it wasn't the ground it was built a long time ago but that has to
cost more to fix that roof I'd argue cost more to fix the roof than it was to
actually build right that stadium but I love how Billy is making it seem so
easy just put a couple of holes in the ground million dollars honestly like I
would I'd elevate the field like six inches
And then just have it like run off into gutters on the side of the field I could figure it out
Give me a hundred million dollars. I could figure that out coming under budget. Oh, dude. We'll do for a million bucks. No
Million you want a hundred job done for a million
Million it's gonna cost a hundred million fix the roof give us 95 and me and Tony will figure it out exactly I'll
figure that out right 95 million dollars I can figure out how to make that feel
playable next year I like your so we're gonna strip the the roof the existing
roof of all it's a girl right my that's gotta cost something right that metal
sell that metal give me that metal people would take it from Miami up there
we'll get that thing done at 50 grand.
We could repurpose some of that for our new drainage system that we're building.
Yeah, I'm saying that a drainage system for
like a typical yard is somewhere between $2,500 and $8,000.
So what are we looking at, like $60 grand?
What's up?
You're talking about a big yard.
Yes, but we asked for 95 million.
Of course.
Yeah, duh. But we figure out how to do it less than a million. the
the
the
the
the
the
the
the
the the the like a circle. We open it up. I could do that. So you have Dan sitting behind home plate for
the Rays games played in Miami. Do you have Dan buying the seat to his left and the seat
to his right just to eliminate the chance of anyone sitting next to him? He wouldn't
have to. It's a Rays game in Miami. It's like literally a meeting of two baseball franchises
that don't draw anyways. He doesn't have to worry about that.
It's a shame they got rid of the aquarium behind own play
because that's where you could relocate the rays to.
Wow.
I know.
They fit there.
A lot of transport for them back and forth.
Yeah.
You felt good about that one, didn't you, Mike?
It was good.
Dan in the back with a box of popcorn, just eating popcorn.
Yeah.
Dan is the guy that would buy the house
but also buy the property to the left and the right, though,
right?
Just to not have neighbors?
Look.
Because he can?
It's a time-consuming bit.
But he spends much of his free time watching the Rays anyway.
Right.
How funny would it be if we give Dan the seat right
behind home plate, and he's just always there?
And he becomes Rays man?
He's, yeah.
He's just ever-present, synonymous with the brand.
You have him dressing up as Raisman.
You have him getting into character.
He's like light blue, like off brand.
He does love costumes.
I'll tell you, the prospect of the Raize playing
in Marlins Park, like, okay, the convenience
of having this park in town, while not having
the emotional baggage that goes along with the Marlins, I essentially now have a new baseball option. I'm kind of in on this.
