who deserves one?
My list( no order just off the top)
Memphis- had the Titans for a minute, lost the Titans. Deserve a team.
Milwaukee- I know it’d be hard to compete with GB for attention but still…
Austin,TX- ( see Milwaukee but change GB with UT)
San Antonio- huge city, passionate fans( Spurs fans), no team
LA- inevitable within the next decade. 2nd largest city in the US, no team
Vegas-despite the real possibly of shady gambling figures messing with the team, it’d be a great city, great attraction
Guadalajara, Mexico- not nearly as much crime as Mexico City, same scenario as Toronto. Could be the Miami Heat of the NFL, in the sense that a lot of over the hill guys go there for the weather. A buddy of mine in high school moved to San Antonio( where I'm from) from Guadalajara and he said he thinks a team there would be great.
Toronto- another huge city, could be “ Canada’s team”, major fan passion potentially( unfortunately has to compete with hockey season)
Memphis-no way, I think they are too small and the Titans are too close.
Milwaukee-Packers rule the state of Wisconsin, just don't see it happening. I think they used to have a couple Packers games there a year, so maybe they could return to that.
Austin and San Antonio-I could see San Antonio working given that they almost got the Saints after Katrina, but also they have the Cowboys and Texans to worry about to.
LA-It's not a matter of if but when
Vegas-I think could do well, but does the NFL want a team there?
Guadalajara-I don't think they would have enough interest.
Toronto-I think it would work, but they had trouble getting people to go to the Bills game they had there earlier this year, which gives me doubts that it could work.
Two more I could think of Portland and OKC, but both have their respective competition to worry about (Seahawks in Portland? (Maybe), and the Sooners in OKC.
I think it was cool how OKC rallied around the thunder and I think that OKC would fully support a pro team. Toronto though, I think the country would rally around and be like " yeah, this is our team, get on our level" of course the Blue Jays fans aren't coming in droves either. No, I don't the NFL wants Vegas, too many sharks and shady people
Milwaukee-Packers rule the state of Wisconsin, just don't see it happening. I think they used to have a couple Packers games there a year, so maybe they could return to that.
No place to play in Milwaukee. They still have the season ticket holders package for Milwaukee area residents. A preseason game and I believe the second and fifth home games.
And Milwaukee will never get an NFL team as long as the Packers are in Green Bay. Too ingrained in the culture that nobody would be a fan of a team in Milwaukee.
Thank you Pitt Chick. This subject has been discussed other times on other threads but its been a while ago. I'll close this thread.
