Which city would be a good fit for another team?

[es4m11]

Nobody ever says Wyoming

Can Cheyenne support a minor league baseball team?

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

 

[Born to run]

Uh.. St. Louis?

The Havannah Blunts

Go down - catch a game - buy some cigars - cheap hookers -
Why not??

 

[Yankee Traveler]

Intercourse, PA would be a good city for the Jets.



Oh, did I not understand the question?

I dunno...The Mets had this callup for a few weeks this past month, Brandon Nimmo, he was only the 12th player ever drafted to MLB from Wyoming, and by far the highest (#13 overall; previous high was #109).

I know they have Legion ball there, but no HS baseball.

States that DO NOT need another NFL team - California, Texas, and Florida.

I don't see that ever being a worry. Jerry Jones is not going to allow a team to come into, say, San Antonio, and cut in on his profits.

And, yes, Jerry has a lot of power amongst NFL owner and can get something like that blocked.

Buttonwillow, California has plenty of room for a stadium and parking.....

Yeah, just like Nick Saban would never allow another pro team in the state of Alabama

I looked, but couldn't find a similar thread to this.

What city/state you think would work out for another NFL team?

1. Vegas of course. We all know that they will be getting one possibly next year, but damn, what took so long?
2. Salt Lake City, Utah. Yea, its a heavy church city/state, but there are still a ton non Mormons out there that will still go to ever game(and Mormons will go to). I think it has a fighting chance there.
3. Portland Oregon. Why on earth do they not have one already?
4. Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Big market to.

Oklahoma city is a small market ... Utah absolutely ... Most Portland fans are diehard Seahawks fans, Paul Allen owns both the Trail-blazers and Seahawks.... Vegas could support one also...

Disagree based on population. I don't think there are enough people for teams in some of those venues.

If Oklahoma (3.9M) and Utah (2.9M) can support an NFL team, then how can you justify that California (38.8M) and Texas (27M) couldn't also support more teams?

If Oklahoma can support 1 team, then California can support 10 teams.

We must be in very different St. Louis...I don't see this city supporting another NFL team for decades.

Not even 8-man?

Nope. No high school baseball, statewide. Pop is just too spread out. But, they do have some decent American Legion teams, evidently.

Wow.

Legion ball is far superior anyway. Could be a good thing for those kids. (Even though it's not getting them drafted. Maybe it's getting them spots in college.)

Yeah, for some of them. Nimmo was offered a schollie at Arkansas, I think...or at least he had a verbal commitment there.

Agree about Legion ball...the teams in SC when I was growin up were pretty talented.

Its one of those 'theory vs reality' things. In theory, STL would easily support an NFL team especially since they have a workable arena, a very willing government, and ideas to throw more money into the ring. The problem is the two teams that left both fractured the city to the point where most people have kind of a 'f*ck the NFL and their greedy owners' mentality.

I would, too. Fans/cities bend over backwards to fund stadiums for teams that are owned by bazillionaires. It's stupid. But, there's always that one place that's desperate for a franchise, and they give the team/owner everything they want.

STL has a good MLB team and a kinda good NHL team so the city goes on fine with those two but it does say something about the limits of NFL appeal if a city can be totally indifferent to the existence of an NFL team even with a big gaping hole downtown.
