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.
