Montreal Expos

Expos to Open 2005 Season in Washington, DC

The Montreal Expos are moving to Washington, DC. The last mlb team in dc was the senators. The Baltimore Orioles owner had opposed the move but major league baseball reached an agreement with him. The Orioles are guaranteed: minimum annual revenues and if they fall short the league will make up the difference, and baseball is also willing to guarantee minimum franchise value for the Orioles.

What do you think about what is going to happen? Even though the Orioles owner has agreed to terms with the mlb, what impact do you think this will have on the Orioles? (revenue, fans, stadium, tickets etc.) Is this a good move with having two teams so close together?
