Best NFL-less football city

[Mike A. S.]

Which city that doesn't currently have an NFL franchise would be the best NFL city? Don't be that guy that says Las Vegas or Oakland on a technicality... I'd also rather not hear St. Louis or San Diego, but....

cleveland

oh, wait...

 

[Clayton]

St Louis should probably blow up the The Dome and put in an NBA team.

I hate to say Mexico City but probably that.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Mexico City

 

[Rock Strongo]

yeah, mexico city makes the most sense. they cant do canada. wont work. CFLs too big and canada wont let that happen.

the only other place that makes a lick of sense to me..seriously...upper midwest, or nebraska. theres nothing from minny to seattle for those up north, and nebraska is a football hotbed. midwest needs another team somewhere.

Outside of STL I don't really see where another midwest team is viable unless you start talking about pairing a 2nd team in Chicago, which will obviously not happen.

No player wants to live in Mexico. Just like no player would ever want to be on the London team if they ever get one. Keep it domestic.

 

[Thruthefog]

Louisville.

 

[BigFin]

I'll say Orlando.

 

[dbldwn711]

Mexico City? No way! Altitude is too much!! Playing there takes too much out of players!!

The problem is you need to have enough people to support an NFL team. I thought about Portland Oregon but ... Not enough people. I thought about Orlando but that would be the states 4th NFL team.

I'll go with San Antonio Great city. Has an nba team but not NFL team. Could probably support an NFL team.

Wow, I actually agree with you on something.

 

[Clayton]

Louisville.

Are they big enough?

Their college program is front and center in two sports as far as I can tell.

i think another city in the midwest can hold a team. nebraska, oklahoma...shit, montana, wyoming, idaho...make a tri state team, or regional like NE.

it just seems like such a huge gap area wise, in areas where football is king.

 

[tducey]

Portland, think they could be looked at for a 2nd major league sports team soon.

No way Omaha could hold a team. OKC would be a hard sell given Jones and Hunt would bitch about it. Boise maybe down the road, but that's as midwest as Pennsylvania is.

This was the US city I was considering.

Its obvious the NFL wants Mexico City, though. I just don't want the NFL to expand anymore and to dilute the talent pool anymore.

Could see it, but it's not the cashcow a mega-market like Mexico City can be for football.

meh, yeah...idaho is the NW more or less, but i dont think many consider it that. i dont think they even do.

 

[blue_suns]

The obvious answer is NYC
