With the talk of expansion seemingly inevitable, why not have a team in the Florida Keys? There isn’t a pro sport footprint in that part of the world and I’m guessing their home games would almost certainly be sold out. surely a team in the Keys would fare better than places like Nashville and Arlington. Give the Conch Nation a team to get behind and support! What do you think?
