I thought I would pose a hypothetical question for all Northeastern forum members.
I have listed several Northeast cities below. Let's pretend that they were awarded a minor-league baseball stadium today, or some team plans on moving there. You get to pick the site of the stadium. Where would you put it? What would you have as the backdrop from the stands, that the fans can look out towards from their seats? Would it be a skyline? A body of water? A street scene? Some other scenery like a mountain? Some other urban scenery like a seaport?
You have to use real land for this. So, if the team wants to move to the city for the 2007 or 2008 season, pick a place where you could really build a stadium; don't pick a place that was recently developed, or privately owned, etc.
I've specifically picked these cities because most people live near one of these cities, or are at least familiar with it. You are free to add comments for cities outside of your area if you know a lot about those as well.
We'll disregard any other minor-league teams in the immdeiate area that could claim these cities as their own territory (like the Buffalo Bisons, New Britain Rock Cats, Bowie Bay Sox, Tri-City Valleycats, etc). I also made sure not to include cities with independent league and even college wood-bat teams, like Lancaster, Worcester, Watertown, Concord, etc.
Niagara Falls, NY
Annapolis, MD
Cumberland, MD
Dover, DE
Hartford, CT
Fall River, MA
New Bedford, MA
Vineland, NJ
Portsmouth, NH
Albany, NY
Jersey City, NJ
