Oakland Raiders Stadium Plan A Field Of Dreams In Oklahoma City

 

[KansasSooner]

I will remain a Chiefs fan regardless...

NFL thread being moved to the NFL Forum?

They could call them the Oklahoma Sooners.

[KansasSooner]

Well if Dixie was here I'm sure he would say they should call themselves the Oklahoma Southerners...

Build a MLB stadium. I think MLB would do better than NFL in Oklahoma city.

We already have our football passions, NBA was new and exciting to the area, so would MLB. It's a perfect Baseball city. There is a reason the BIG XII tourney is held there yearly.

Aren't the TB Rays looking to relocate?

 

[WestEndVol]

Bet BW would be happy.

Terrible... Not that big a town. So close to the Dallas market. Send them to Toronto.

Maybe not that large a city the one I grew up in, but the success of the Thunder should show once aain that smart management can succeed in smallish markets.

Personally I would rather see an NHL team there, but I never was as much into the NFL's game as much as most Oklahoma natives.

Oklahoma City is bigger than New Orleans now and they somehow can support and Nba and Nfl team. Football is king in Oklahoma, this would work.

But there are still more people in Louisiana than Oklahoma, and New Orleans gets fans from 3 states and maybe the Florida panhandle. Oklahoma City would have the Cowboys to the south and Chiefs to the north.

would be a bad move to OKC. OKC is a very small market for a professional sports franchise. if the thunder weren't title contenders, they wouldn't even be able to support the team they have now. add another pro team? now you are cutting the amount of dollars people in the area have to spend on sports too many ways, even if both franchises were good.

Wonder what that would do for the Raiders->Chiefs rivarly.

 

[Tharvot]

Figured LA would be the next logical choice for an NFL Franchise.

Call me crazy, but I think we may see an NFL franchise in London before too long.

We are doing great with the NBA, OKC has a thriving economy and is doing well. That being said...can't see the NFL ever coming to town. OKC isn't that being enough, both teams would compete for a limited amount of financial revenue.

We love us some OKC Thunder!!!

any city would thrive if they were immediately stole..., um, er, given a title contender.

Agreed - I'd like to see an NHL team in OKC

20-62 is contending for a title?

Own up closet Sonic fan. Your team sucked, you didn't support it, you lost it.
