If someone with wealth, power and influence decided to bring pro sports to Hampton Roads, which kind of sport would this area most likely support to the fullest: NBA, MLB or NFL?

I have said many times before I think the only pro sports team that "might" succeed in this area would be an NFL team, because of the 8 game home schedule, NBA or MLB would not work because the majority of people in this area does not have the finances to support a full basketball or baseball season

I'd love a football team, but I don't know. Most people are fans of Washington or Carolina.

I'd love to have a professional baseball team here! I wonder what they'd be called and what city they'd be from. Probably Richmond.

With the military at large, we have many teams represented. I'd like to see VA with their own team, like Jacksonville, even though they had Tampa Bay as a professional team at the time.

I would think football. - that is the only one I really care about though so I'm sure it isn't an objective opinion.
