Baseball looks at Hampton Roads

NORFOLK, VIRGINIA - Baseball&#39;s search for a home for the Montreal Expos has expanded to southeastern Virginia. <br> <br> A baseball delegation met with Norfolk city officials and a group representing unidentified investors Monday. <br> <br> The Hampton Roads area, which includes Norfolk and Virginia Beach, is one of the nation&#39;s largest metropolitan areas without a major sports franchise. It&#39;s also not far from the state capital of Richmond.<br> <br> The Expos are owned by the other 29 major league teams. They may relocate next year, but baseball wants funding in place for a new ballpark before picking a new home for the team. <br> <br> Other candidates interested the team are Monterrey, Mexico; Northern Virginia; Portland, Oregon; San Juan, Puerto Rico; and Washington, D.C.<br> <br> Las Vegas and San Antonio also may be candidates.
