Football, absolutely not! And if you want a baseball team start by supporting the BJ's more first.

Now, c'mon, I've defended Columbus, but you cannot be serious. With such close proximity to both Cincy and Cleveland, there's no way C-bus gets the NFL or MLB.
Austin would be a good fit. It would help econmoic development. I know a lot of people will disagree and say that UT is their sports team but I don't entirely agree. Most of baseball season is primarily during the time of year when college sports are dormant and not everyone is Austin loves ut. Not everyone went to school at UT and people don't switch college teams but it's very common to cheer for the professional team in the area you live. I followed the dolphins when I was in florida and currently follow the chiefs. That being said, I voted for San Antonio followed by Columbus and Indy.
Sorry but I disagree 100%. Austin is dominated by UT especially football. They are satisfied with their 100,000 seat stadium on Saturdays. Not to mention that Austin has one of the most successful and tradition ladened baseball programs in college sports.
It's like the 35th largest media market though, because the rest of the world doesn't base a city's size off of its city proper population. So no, it's not the 7th largest U.S. city, it's more like 35th.
Media market has nothing to do with size. If San Antonio was the only big city in the state it would have a bigger tv market. For example, Indianapolis, Salt Lake City, MPLS. Being the only major city gives those cities more of a share of the market.
Indianapolis has a bigger TV market than San Diego. Salt Lake city is half the size of S.A. metro yet has a slighty bigger TV market. Austin being so close is the reason.

There's plenty of time when Ut football and baseball aren't in season that baseball is. That was my point. And if a major league baseball team is in the playoffs during football season, people will support both.
