Next NFL Franchise

[danlhart87]

I hope San Antonio gets one.

Jags could relocate and stay in South 

 

What would SA team be called?

[ColtJax]

Jags are putting 2 billion to build up the surrounding area, they're not going any place. If any team moves it will be the Bills..

Can you even imagine the carnage of tables if they left?

[Mel Kiper's Hair]

I don't think San Antonio would get an NFL team. The market isn't very large, the city already has the Spurs, and there are already two other teams in Texas. I think if a team were to relocate that the NFL would try to get a team in London. With these things you just never know though. I still can't believe that the Chargers left San Diego and there are still people in Baltimore that can't believe we have the Colts in Indianapolis so I guess anything is possible.

[danlhart87]

London is too far IMO the commute 8 times a year would be dreadful. 

 

How about Canada like Montreal?

Toronto fans are crazy. The Raptors championship parade had 3 million people attend it.

The metro area of Chicago has over 10 million people. (the 3rd most populated  in the US)  That is not including the out of county burbs. 

It's really not surprising there were more people. 

Just saying.

Maybe in the USA but it pales in comparison to the celebrations for the FIFI World Cup.

Finally, the Ford family has had enough and decide to sell Detroit Lions.

 

The Franchise is bought by Sea World in San Antonio for cheap 

and the Franchise is renamed as

 

San Antonio Sea Lions

[VikingsFanInChennai]

Logo could look something like this. 

 

And this is their official Mascot for Sea Lions!

 

 

Andy Reid becomes the first ever head coach for San Antonio Sea Lions. 

 

Matthew Stafford changes his name officially to Matthew Stallion, and plays until either he breaks down on the field or Reid finds his next Mahomes.

[danlhart87]

the mascot looks just like Andy Reid 

[Barry Sears]

I wonder if St. Louis will ever get another chance at an NFL team?

 

There's not many viable places in my mind that would make sense geographically.  I can see the Bills in Toronto or Montreal be successful.

 

I agree San Antonio isn't a good fit for several reans already stated.

[The Fish]

I'll stir the pot a little. Is Indy a very secure host for the Colts into the future? How long do stadiums appease owners these days? 20 years or so (absurd btw)? LOS is 12 years old? 

I'm making no predictions beyond this will be an issue again and the threat of the team leaving will probably be on the table, especially if Jim isn't calling the shots for whatever reason.

 

(If there's some quiet news about this outlining why my take is bogus, let me know)

[VikingsFanInChennai]

The fact that the league considers Indianapolis as ideal spot for NFL Combine every year, it wouldn't be surprising if NFL wants the ownership to keep the franchise there, at least for foreseeable future than many other teams.

I'm in Texas so would love another team here even Austin too

So we already know everything is bigger in Texas so does it * you off that Florida has more teams than Texas?   (joke)

[danlhart87]

California and Florida do have lots of teams. Glad one of them left. 

 

Curious of how LV does 

[chad72]

Wyoming has a good GDP per capita and does not have a team, just saying.

Virginia and Hawaii don't have teams either.  Virginia has the population for sustaining ticket sales.

I think its safe yes.  the team and city have a good relationship right now

 

teams usually move over money problems or losing the fans we dont have either of those problems.  we have a very good stadium too

Here's a view of the team-bus on the way to the stadium:

 

 

... in the largest city in ND... Fargo...

I think Virginia is sustaining any of the ticket sales for DC team already.

The Salt Lake City Mormons

I figure a team will move back to Oakland too. Happens all the time.

Not till they agree to build a stadium. That's basically why they lost the Raiders two times.

Speaking of Las Vegas is it just me or does their new stadium look like a roomba

Since the WNBA hasn’t started haven’t focused on LV

[danlhart87]

They should build a cat statue sitting on top of the Roomba stadium.

I actually heard it was 3rd from some Cubs people back in 2016. I read that some where but it has been so long ago, can't remember lol. It may have been ESPN??

I guess you didn't understand exactly what I said. 

What you are referring to is not the same as me.
