While I have never in my life watched more than 15 minutes of a hockey game on any level in person or on TV, If Baltimore would get a NHL team, I would probably find myself attending a minimum of 5 games per year.

I may or may not follow hockey overall, but I'd go to some games for GP.

Hockey is much more exciting than NBA basketball.

I would like to have some Terps games played in Baltimore, too.

yeah come on! If you go anywhere in the world and ask people who Kobe Bryant is or Michael Jordan they'll immediately go "NBA!" "Lakers!" "Bulls!", but if you ask them who Wayne Gretzky is they'll just go "Ehhhhh???"

...I would recommend that you watch the Winter Classic on New Years Day. This year's, held at Fenway Park between the Bruins and Flyers, was a blast. I think it's in Pittsburgh next year.

Baltimore it support is the complete IT solutions and repair centers.
Its a friendly family run business, if you catch my drift.They provides high-speed, secure networking has evolved beyond the local area network to wide area networks, the Internet, smartphone and beyond. They also handle simple to the most complex hardware diagnostics, troubleshooting and repairs at their support center.

MLS would be a perfect third sport for Baltimore. I think they would do really well here because there is a good soccer base and they aren't competing with 4 other major sports like many MLS cities. People would be so appreciative to have another team I think attendance would be near the top of the league.

Baltimore will not get a third sports team anytime soon, especially not DC United. http://espn.go.com/sports/soccer/sto...ed-mls-sources.

For the life of me I don't know why Baltimore feels entitled to DC United.

Baltimore doesn't feel entitled to DC United. Baltimore would never have entered the picture If DC would have taken care of the situation years ago.

Yeah, Baltimore only stepped in when asked. I'm not sure the ownership change is a definite home run for a stadium getting built in DC. These guys are business men, and if Baltimore has a much better deal on the table, I think it gets the same consideration.

I'd hate to steal someone's team, but the MLS will never consider us for a team. We fall victim of being close to DC, and our image is that of a run down town. Very frustrating, I think if we got an MLS team we would do great things for the league.

Shouldn't this thread be re-named "4th Professional Team" or are we not counting the Blast?
