That would be interesting, however, I think Vegas would get first shot at them. To be real honest, the way things are going up here, the Nats could be looking for a new home very soon. The market up here is great despite the Orioles being close by, Nats games were a major draw. However, there is a major stink about the new stadium, to make a long story short, DC promised major league baseball they would build some new digs for the team, estimated costs were projected around $400 mil, wel that estimate has now soared into $750 mil, maybe even more, so there are lots of taxpayers against it. It is a huge issue up here. The politics involved up here are amazing, there is even politics involved in chosing the new ownership. You would think, put your bids highest wins right! Oh hell no, MLB didn't like some of the suitors so the told them to get lost, yada yada, yada, big miss. All I know is if DC loses the Nats, it will get ugly around here.

I agree that they will end up in Vegas. Although they better come up with a good plan for a retactable roof stadium. It would suck playing a game there in August.

If they end up in Vegas...it'll be the only stadium with not only Beer Girls, but "Fun" girls in the luxury boxes -- compliments of the Las Vegas Baseball team (considering it's legal there).

I think it's Vegas too, but I wouldn't mind having 3 teams in Texas. I don't see it going to Portland Oregon though.

Portland would have to have a retractable roof stadium.
