Memphis Relocating

Okay so I figured I should make a thread about this. Droozer said he wants to move Memphis to Norfolk, Virgina and name them the Ironclads. The only problem I have with this is that Ironclads is a warship used by....the navy. And we already have the Connecticut Navy in the league so I think you should go in a different direction.

Also Norfolk's stadium only holds 27,700 and it looks like a weak stadium.

Norfolk has been Turned Down, some suggestions of other locations would be Columbus, Orlando, Boston, I'm sure there are some other good markets too.

I lol'd when I saw the stadium.

At least it's nickname could be "The Dick".

I'd have 'em play at Foreman Field if he wants to keep em in Norfolk. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreman_Field

But... we could just have him build a new stadium (a la Alabama). Oh, and I just wanna play at Aloha Stadium again.

Foreman Field only holds 19,000. If you want to play in Virgina just play in either Blacksburg or Charlottesville.

The thing about creating stadiums is the location still needs to be good. For example, Legion Field holds 70,000+ but its run down and in a bad part of town so I made a new stadium. The location was good enough to host a team with or without a new stadium though.

I think he should just go ahead and pick a location with a better stadium.

Crash said...

Definitely don't go to Charlottesville or Blacksburg. That's just stupid to put a team in the middle of nowhere.

Big Mike said...

Well then Virginia is just turned down. I think you should move the team to Columbus like you originally planned Droozer. It would be nice to hear from you about this, if you aren't sure about a name, I'm sure we can find a good one for you.

Or Orlando, which is where the Navy would have been if TC was there owner.

They'll either be going to Columbus or Orlando. And can you send me an author invite? Thanks

Big Mike said...

Okay, and I need your email, I'm sure you have told me before but I forgot lol.

Big Mike said...

Alright, I sent you an invite Droozer.

Big Mike said...

Yeah that'd be cool, maybe be like the Canton Leatherheads lol

Crash said...

Don't do Canton. lol

I'd say do Orlando but that's just me :P

That looks like my high school stadium. Columbus, Orlando, Milwaukee, Baton Rouge, and Tulsa all seem good to me.
