Unfortunately, no one at this time is in any danger of leaving, and there is no expansion on the horizon. Salt Lake City would not be a bad market, but when LA has no team at all, you're really at a disadvantage.

I doubt a team is in the near future.

I think basketball(and soccer) might be the only major league sports in SLC. Ironic because Green Bay,WI(home of the Packers) is smaller than Salt Lake City by a good 70,000-80,000 residents and an even smaller metro area than SLC. LA doesn't have a football team(San Diego has one though). Portland, OR is much larger than Salt Lake City and only has basketball. There is not much hope of SLC getting an NFL team and most likely no MLB team(Portland is larger than Atlanta, Cleveland,Minneapolis, Kansas City, Miami, Oakland,etc. and has a minor league team, no MLB team.). I don't know why though.

None. Soccer is becoming the game of choice in Utah with approximately 200,000 players state wide. Football would ruin the efforts to grow soccer in Utah.

i'm talking about 5-10 years from now allgoodfutbol. trust me if when ever say a nfl team were to place a team there the nfl would be a huge impact over soccer.

Your population figures are way off.... Portland is bigger than Miami, Minneapolis, Hotlanta????? Look at metro figures - too hard to make correlations in the way various cities cookie cutter up their boundaries to just look at City figures. SLC is approximately the same size as Portland, and both are half the size of some of the other cities you mention.
