how bout them nationals? now think if they had come here...

You know, I was thinking. What if American pro sports operated like Europe. There, there are 'minor leagues', but if a team does well enough, the whole team is 'promoted' to the big leagues. It stays right where it is, but plays against the big boys. Even if its in a podunk little village. What if they did that here? 1) do you think any of our teams would be good enough to compete against big league teams? 2) what kind of affect would that have on exposure for the Hampton Roads area?

Personally, here's what I think the best option would be. MAGLEV. If and when ODU's MAGLEV is finished and tested, It could be the best way to do light rail transit. Think about it. ODU finishes it, and it extends to other key areas of Norfolk: downtown, the airport, the navy base, etc. Its faster than other light rail options. Its not a complete bore to look at (after all, we don't want to sacrifice Norfolks stunning good looks B) ). Its something unique that no other city would have. Seems like a good fit. just my opinion.
