Have you ever been to spring training? It's a blast. And it draws a ton of fans. I read somewhere that Cubs fans alone spend $31M in the city of Mesa during spring training.
It's kind of a big deal.

It wouldn't still be a blast and draw a ton of fans in Florida?

Like I said before, the setup in Arizona is way better. All of the stadiums are within a few miles of each other. Look at the map. The stadiums in Florida are spread out all over the state. It simply isn't comparable.
