Part 6/10:
Infrastructure and Ownership Feasibility: Building a stadium with the amenities MLB expects—like a retractable roof—costs billions. The speaker suggests that simply floating the idea of a new stadium or identifying billionaires willing to bankroll the project is considered baseline; it doesn't guarantee success.
MLB's Strategic Expansion Approach: The league is mindful of not appearing overly eager or receptive to every city that raises its hand. It's important for MLB to maintain selectivity, creating a sense of scarcity to maximize expansion fees and market value.
