And I'm saying that wouldn't be the case if they had relocated Memphis or Shreveport (or been a pure expansion team in Montreal with no fan support), rather than Baltimore.Belize City Lion wrote: Baltimore was built from the ground up, an expansion team no less, and even with relocating to Montreal and being "forced" to add Canadians to their roster they've been the most successful CFL franchise over the past 15 years. It's quite remarkable that they have never really had a "rebuilding" year in their franchise history.
Kind of like how the Phoenix Coyotes haven't been the Colorado Avalanche. Sports teams evolve organically, and beginnings make a huuuuuuuge difference.
