Boston metro population is 4.6M vs. 3.06M for Tampa -- a full third larger.  So there's another rationalization in defense of the Rays

There are over 14M people in central and northern Florida. There are under 14M in New England when excluding Fairfield County CT (suburb of NYC). If Tampa can’t compete with the Braves and Marlins (two other weak baseball markets who also don’t sell out playoff games) in their own backyard it’s their own fault. Or the fans aren’t interested.
