With the M-Braves leaving central Mississippi needs baseball. How does this happen? I guess I'll have to wait for a millionaire to buy a team. The stadium is already built though I hate the location.

Maybe they can get an affiliate for an expansion team.

Demolish smith wills and build a state of the art stadium, minor league size. Whatever it is it should be the Jackson --- something.

I just can’t see a team going back there considering the M-Braves and Biloxi Shuckers routinely have the lowest attendance.

Mississippi is just too small to support a franchise, even a minor league one

Yeah it sucks. It will take someone for the love of baseball (and business).

Idiot Rob Manfred is doing his best to kill minor league baseball. It’s a disgrace what has happened to MiLB under his watch.

This one is a head scratcher. Large population center with the 3 coastal counties. Very close to Mobile, AL and New Orleans. Neither city has a baseball team. All the casinos and conferences along the gulf coast. You’d think they would have better attendance. It’s so walkable too and close to all the casinos.

I live in New Orleans and forgot the Biloxi team even existed. Out of sight out of mind

I wholeheartedly agree, but college baseball has improved as a result

Madison wouldn't stand for a pro sports team in their city

It gets awful hot in the Pearl River bottom in the summertime.
Maybe an independent team.

If the Braves AA affiliate in the heart of Braves Country collapses on attendance I don’t know why they would be considered for affiliated baseball for quite some time

Independent or bust

Minor league baseball is dead.

Killed by the greed of MLB.

I don't like Baseball really except for Post season LSU. But M Braves games were really fun. Great for kids.

A worthy goal, but that means it’s lame for everybody above that age
