MLB is a business, and the fact is, that teams with new stadiums frequently 
draw better than they did in their old stadiums.  The Cleveland Indians are a 
good example.  They were considered a "small market" team until they got a 
new stadium.  Now they are considered a "big market" team.

Their problem is not that they built a new stadium, but that the new stadium 
they built sucks.
