Here's a look at how Salt Lake City compares to the possible field of others seeking a Major League Baseball team right now.
Mexico City would obviously tower over any market Major League Baseball currently has, although it would be somewhat experimental because it doesn't have any major U.S. sports franchises at the moment.
If the entire Wasatch Front is considered, there are more than 2.52 million people living in Salt Lake, Davis, Utah and Weber counties combined. That figure doesn't even account for the "ring counties" surrounding the Wasatch Front, which also have easy access to Salt Lake City.Las Vegas, though comparable with Nashville and Portland in population, is also last in the media market among the options. Yet it also brings in a large number of tourists. The city brought in 38.
The proposed area where a group of Utah business leaders would like to see a Major League Baseball stadium built in Salt Lake City. Meanwhile, Cox adds that Utah's growth over the past few decades has come with economic success, as he continues to pitch the Beehive State to Major League Baseball.
"When you look at the economic piece of this, which you overlay on top , we have had the single-best economy over the past decade by just about any measure," he said. "When you're looking at potential cities out there, that places us in kind of the upper echelon and that's what we've heard from and we've heard from others, so we feel confident about the potential for a major league franchise to move here.
