San Antonio is pretty hot in the summer, so they'd need a dome or all night games.

But LV is next-level hot, as in Phoenix/Death Valley hot. You can't play any sports outdoors in LV during the summer, at any time. Dome only for that place.

I was there last summer and it was still 106 at 10 pm. Got up to 113 during the day.

Yeah it would have to be a dome for sure. There's just no other way to play during the summer. April and potentially October would be nice though.

You wonder how many championships through the years have been decided by the flu going through a locker room.

Pedro Martinez has said in Game 6 of the 2009 World Series, he and others caught swine flu and that's why he pitched so poorly.

I believe him. He had a 2.08 ERA throwing low 90s before that game. In Game 6, he rarely got his fastball above low-mid 80s.

The Marlins have suspended their 2020 season.
