Since Richmond is currently a AA franchise, that would mean that we drop Harrisburg, which has newly rebuilt facilities for Richmond - which has been trying to get a new stadium built.
- Norfolk is fine, but it's not close to here, and the Norfolk franchise is owned by a group that also owns the Frederick and Bowie franchises. OK, but now it is not. I can't tell who owns the Norfolk franchise now.
Flip flop the Giants for the Nats and send the Giants AA to Harrisburg. If there's going to be a stadium built in Richmond, the Giants/Nats aren't going to be on the hook... it'll be the city.
Regardless, building a fanbase should start in the state of VA/MD... not having farm teams out in PA and NY.
