That would have to be a major part of any San Antonio team's efforts, and the best clue would be to look at what the Marlins have done(or haven't done) in Miami.<BR/><BR/>Between playing Expos games in San Juan and talk of expansion to Mexico(not to mention the WBC), MLB is certainly trying. But as long as baseball continues to court the corporate types to buy season tickets, courting a Hispanic market could be problematic.<BR/><BR/>Where does San Antonio fall in terms of income on those charts you had awhile back? They certainly have a decent corporate presence, although I question how much of that is headquarters vs. administrative.(after the S&L fiasco, land was cheap there and many companies relocated back room functions such as call centers to S.A.)<BR/><BR/>In short, I see a lot of similiarities to Sacramento, though larger. A growing city with a solid middle class base. The problem is: Is that enough?Georobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16213186069766951534noreply@blogger.com
