It's impossible at the moment for baseball. Stands and third bad dugout are gone. Concrete poured for bleachers in left field. The entire surface raised threeish feet or more on top of old playing surface. They installed drainage then gravel then sand, and plastic grass. It was amazing they finished it in 3+ months. No way to go back quickly now.

Ran across this article, discusses some of the Texas/Arizona/Florida possibilities.

GLF to MMP is almost 4 hours. I've driven DFW to Hou MANY times. I've done day trips, leaving at 4am and getting home at 9pm. Sure, the 1st 2 or 3 times you forget how terrible it is.
I'd guess Tampa to Miami is equally fun. Article says they are about the same distance apart.
If you plan to use two stadium, then why not use Comisky and Wrigley? They are like 17 mins apart. Sure that is without traffic. Dodgers and Anaheim are 30 mins apart.
Citi Field is 14 mins from Yankee stadium.
I thought the point of using the spring training facilities was to reduce exposure. In Arlington, you rent out the entire hotel and only players, team personnel, and family are on property with the hotel staff. Players stay in their same room for the season or portions of it.
If you are changing hotels where players are in a different room every 6 days, it makes little sense, IMO.
If they needed multiple sites in DFW and GLP and ATT wouldn't work, there is always Frisco's Roughriders AA facility, and don't forget TCU.

I wish Dave and CJ would do that for Rangers simulated games.
I loved watching him play. It seemed he never had a bad at bat. It was one hard hit ball after another. He seemed a natural that would have been almost as great without the steroids.AgBQ-00 said:
Of all the steroid era players Palmeiro was the one that broke my heart. I guess it was because he seemed like just a dude that was good at baseball and then was uncovered as a liar and cheater. Nonetheless this is a good moment
