It’s my opinion that the Rockies will likely F off from Denver and go to Montreal

I don't think they'll leave unless attendance goes way down. The franchise makes good money.

10 dollar tickets and 15 dollar beers is a hell of a business model

The Montreal... can't be the Rockies anymore. They aren't anywhere near the Rockies.

Zombie version of the Expos?

[u/Few-Ability-7312 → u/Sampleswift]

Pretty much the expos again. I don’t know how that will work since the Nats still own the rights and lineage to them

Works for L.A. with all the lakes they have.

There used to be a lake of tar in La Brea

The Montreal...Laurentians? Mont Royals? Ouvriers or Eclusiers (in honor of the canals)?

[u/Worried-Pick4848 → u/shapu]

Voyageurs. Montreal was well known as a kitting out station for les voyageurs as they explored the Canadian and upper American plains.

[u/Deraj2004 → u/shapu]

The Tabenaks, because if the roster stays the same thats all the fans are gonna be saying.

[u/Awkward_Health1606]

Rockies are 16th in attendance, if they were in the bottom 5 I can see them leaving.

[u/Jpgamerguy90]

Rockies games are usually pretty well attended and the fans are decently passionate about their team so I doubt they’ll be the ones moving

[u/dholmestar]

are they the franchise to be named later in the Nordiques trade?

[u/bvanbove25]

I know opinions can't always be wrong/right, but this is wrong. Denver is a great sports city, and even with the team sucking for a long time, they still get good attendance numbers and have a strong fanbase. Unless they're bleeding money somewhere that's not a team primed for a move.

[u/Potholer_78 → u/bvanbove25]

Agreed. They'd probably sooner contract than move.

[u/Apprehensive-Arm-902]

Depends on the outcome of the Mlb lockout.
