Which city would be a good fit for another team?

[darken65]

No new teams. Tell me how the Jaguars are doing? Panthers got a bit lucky but not a huge fan base even after being in the SB.

St. Louis had no fan support. St. Louis is the only city I have ever lived in where the vibe on an NFL Sunday was non-existent. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that you see more people in Bears/Packers jerseys than Rams jerseys. And of course, you'll see more St. Louis Cardinals jerseys than any of them, even on an NFL Sunday.

Well of course the 4 games I seen were when the "The Greatest Show on Turf" was happening.......But it did seem like the city was a 100% behind them.....I dunno,maybe the times have changed.

Couer D'Alene?

Heh. Strangely enough, that's where I was born. It's also how I know you're smoking waaaaay too much west coast herb.

American city. Heh. Uh- yeah, no. Fuck, Alberta is much more Yankee friendly than BC, and even Calgary doesn't want to actually BE American, just sell them our oil.

I said I wish, and CDA is ten times the city Portland is. It's small but would be a gateway city. And the CFL is lame with their soccer fields masking as a football field and Oregon style uniforms. Lingerie football>CFL

I think Vegas is a disaster in the making....Can you imagine the trouble these players will get into in Sin City ???
It's unsuccessful now but with them living out there with all the temptation all around them, it's hopeless...
I like the Memphis idea, and I would think Alabama, maybe Birmingham...The way they love their football down there, baffles me why there is no mention of a team there.....

Years ago, I would've agreed with you but these days? I'm not so sure...Gambling is available in or around MANY major cities now(and growing). Hookers? come one now, name a city that you can't find a hooker if you REALLY want to find one, right? Drugs/Booze? available anywhere...So what is it that Vegas offers that other cities do not?

Can Cheyenne support a minor league baseball team?

Pretty nice out in Wyoming, though. I have been camping in Yellowstone twice. It was amazing.

Yellowstone is the shit. I've been there 3 times though its been a while since the last time.

Different games. <shrug> You can be a NFL fan AND a CFL fan too.

CDA is less than fifty thousand people. So it better be a 'gateway' to a different universe full of rabid NFL fans. What's next, a CFL team in Medicine Hat?

I want some of what you're smoking.

 

[broncosmitty]

The NFL may want it, I don't. I think the Europeans won't want it either. They think the games are like the highlights without the dead-time.

Went to an English rugby match once. The entire crowd just kept on singing Swing Low Sweet Chariot. It was weird as hell.

Biggest roar from the crowd was when the announcer said the stadium pubs would remain open for an hour after play finished.

I really don't see them ever embracing American Football.

Again, I just think it was due to the fact they sucked as a team. I remember the days when the Cards sucked and there wasn't much chatter about them here either.

You just had to use that video...

I can watch that over and over and I still smile every time!

Oklahoma City Seahawks just has a nice ring to it

Sorry. first one that popped up.

Nobody ever says Wyoming

Do you think the Sheridan Community Center is big enough though? It seats 1,750; 1,800 if we bring out the optional folding chairs.

 

[HammerDown]

I propose that we disband the team in Boston and give a third franchise to Tinseltown.

I'm glad Boston does't have a NFL team, I like it right where it is in Foxborough. 35 minutes from Prov and when teams come here to play , they stay in Prov

CDA is already ruined by tourism. Traffic is unbelievable bad for such a small city, cost of living there is ridulous and watch out for the police. Real shame too, I love that place when it was more like a town. Lived there for years.

This.

People seem to have lost the American Can-Do spirit. Once Trump is in office, Wyoming is gonna win so much

Right, and they weren't making money in STL. The reason was that they were not good, so the stadium didn't sell out.

I think thats all pretty moot as a lot of the money comes from TV deals.

Forbes had the STL Rams as the 28th most valuable team in the NFL before they moved. 28th isn't 'well, fuck the team is worthless' but it certainly underperformed for the metro due to some people still being Cards fans, some people being Chiefs fans or Bears fans or Colts fans, etc.

The Rams doubled in value immediately when they got sold to LA because its LA. The team didn't get any better. Its now the 3rd most valuable team.

I love how it's grown because of tourism. It helped get the skin heads out of the area too. Cost of living isn't bad compared to Spokane unless you live within 5 minutes of the Lake, at least last time we house shopped.

I know it wouldn't happen but I'd love to see that area or even Spokane get a team. I have family in Idaho, Montana and Wyoming and they'd all die to come to Seahawks games but it's sold out. They go to Mariners games but the drive into the hell hole that is Seattle is nuts compares to the easy 85 on the freeway.

 

[Clayton]

I think we can be specific at this point, right?

Which city wants the Raiders? Thats going to be the team moving if one moves.

-STL would make sense geographically but that ship sailed.
-London might be logistically tough but a huge money maker I'm guessing
-Portland is mostly Seahawks fans right now so maybe that ship sailed. Would've been an easy sell before Russell Wilson.
-San Antonio already has the color scheme on an NBA team but that would probably be the best bet. I'm guessing they'd be stepping on Cowboys fans toes but its probably a better future market than a lot of other choices.
-Vegas? lol no

Each his own, I hate the tourists. The jobs from tourism are minimum wage, rent has gone sky high ( I found it cheaper to live in Spokane ) the traffic is crazy, all the waterfront parks are now crammed, heck every thing is crammed now in the area. The tourists ruined paradise. Use to be cheap to live there, beaches and parks were not over crowded, traffic was a breeze and it was a friendly place to live. When I first moved from Idaho I always wanted to come back to CDA, I no longer wish that.
