Despite a personal plea from area resident Schuerholz, Naples' five-person board of commissioners voted unanimously to abstain from further talks with the Braves about a possible spring training complex.
Next up: Sarasota.

Good for the Naples board.
Naples is a beautiful area that is full of old folks and big money. Last thing they probably wanted was all the hubbub that would be associated with a spring training complex.
When did the Braves build the Kissimmee complex? I thought that was cutting edge when it was put together. I guess the edge has dulled.
The Braves built nothing. Disney was in place, fully formed, when the Braves signed a deal to occupy the premises. Kissimmee is actually several miles away, where the Astros had the camp for years. The Fire Frogs will play in that stadium this season.Originally Posted by 50PoundHead

I guess my question is "Why move?" Is it a revenue generation issue?
