Top 10 Cities that Should Get an NFL Team
Salt Lake City is the largest city in Utah by population and by area. It also has the state capital building inside that city and also the oldest settlement. That city should've deserved to have an NFL team a long time ago but refused. It should have professional football and soccer. It has an NBA team whey they shouldn't, so they need to relocate. The NFL franchise in that city should've been publicly owned back then just like the Packers, the only other city in America besides the City of Salt Lake is Providence that I wished should've also been publicly owned as well.
Well, I wish that a lot of NFL team are and should always be located in small cities just like back in the early NFL era. I thought of capitol cities like Little Rock, Hartford, Boise, Springfield, Des Moines, Topeka, Frankfort, Augusta, Lansing, Jackson, Jefferson City, Carson City, Concord, Trenton, Santa Fe, Albany, Salem, Harrisburg, Providence, Columbia, Salt Lake City, Olympia, and Charleston that should be desperate for the NFL stadium. That's separated from big cities with other pro sports teams and smaller cities are much better for NFL. Largest city in each state that's also the state capitol with population less than 300 thousand should definitely have a team instead of cities with population over 400 thousand.
It won't very soon, but Salt lake City, Utah looks like a perfect place for NFL expansion. With Los Angeles and Las Vegas to earn new teams soon, it's likely the next-best option. The city's MLS team, Real Salt Lake, consistently has great attendance in a failing league. The Utah Jazz has been heavily supported as well. Now with Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert, attendance should be off the charts this year. Even though scheduling on Sundays could be an issue for a Mormon-heavy Wasatch Front, fans will definitely show up. Plus, Salt Lake City is several hours removed from any other NFL franchise. The NFL wants to fill gaps in their team map, and Salt Lake City is the 10th fastest growing city in the country. #NFLtoSLC
It's a perfect city to have an NFL team, so as the City of Providence. Other 9 smaller markets besides Salt Lake that should as well have an NFL team instead of big cities should also be Little Rock ARK, Hartford CT, Boise ID, Des Moines IA, Jackson MSP, Santa Fe MN, Albany NY, Providence RI, and Columbia SC and Charleston WV. These are the cities that should have an NFL team, including most that are State Capitol and largest city in their states, at least to me because all states I listed on here other than New York don't have any major pro sport team at all and should have an NFL team, some even perhaps SOCCER should totally have an NFL team instead of having them in big markets, just like back in the early era. That should make sense with the NFL and include the conclusion. Thank You!
Portland is the largest city in the U.S. state of Oregon and the seat of Multnomah County. It is a major port in the Willamette Valley region of the Pacific Northwest, at the confluence of the Willamette and Columbia Rivers. Portland, and the whole state of Oregon need an NFL Team. For football, they only have Oregon and Oregon State.
The NFL stadium should be located down in Salem, which is a much smaller local market than Portland.
Need diversity in the football world. Let's go!
The raiders may move to san antonio!
It's a good fan base a big place spread out no collage or nfl teams
Columbus is growing! We're crazy about our sports! People would love to come on away games to see EVERYTHING Columbus has to offer! The highways are easy for commuting! I don't see how Cleveland and Cincinnati would have a NFL team over Columbus. I've been to all cities and am amazed we do not have the pleasure.
The Browns and Bengals are always terrible. Let's get a decent team in Ohio!
Capital city of Ohio
Toronto is the most populous city in Canada, the provincial capital of Ontario, and the centre of the Greater Toronto Area, the most populous metropolitan area in Canada. Toronto is an international centre of business, finance, arts, and culture, and is recognized as one of the most multicultural and cosmopolitan cities in the world. The best place to put a nfl team in Canada would Saskatchewan they sellout every game and make the third most money for teams behind the Maple Leafs and Canadiens in Canada. The Toronto Argonauts in the CFL struggle to get 15,000 people at there game Toronto just is not a Football market
Toronto definitely needs an NFL team, anyone that says that's Toronto wouldn't be a big NFL market needs to get out of their house more. Every sunday I go out to watch football, and every bar in my city is always packed with NFL fans.
Canada needs a team! Sure we have cfl but it ain't the same. Toronto is perfect, enough people, fans and a big enough city, but I think Saskatchewan should get a team later once Canada is invited to nfl
I could really buy into this idea.
The opportunities this could bring would be worth the cost and battle between Kansas and Dallas
Oklahoma has been looked over for years by the NFL because of Dallas and Kansas city
The NFL team in New Mexico should be called Santa Fe Browns. I mean Santa Fe instead of Albuquerque, which is the oldest city in the state and also have the State Capitol building located in Santa Fe. At least half of State Capitol cities in America should have an NFL team/stadium instead of biggest cities in many states, unless it's the State Capitol and biggest city in the state with population less than 300 thousand people with no other pro sports teams around, then it will be perfect.
Well, Milwaukee already has Bucks and Brewers and Green Bay only has Packers
It's a beautiful city with awesome beaches and really deserves an NFL team
Beautiful city, 9th largest population in the US of A, great weather especially for future SBs
City population downsizing matters with the NFL more than any other pro sports organizations. City population less than 300 thousand people that are state capitol and largest city in the state are perfect fit for an NFL team and its stadium. Cities like Montgomery, Little Rock, Hartford, Boise, Springfield, Topeka, Grand Rapids, Jackson, Carson City, Manchester, Trenton, Santa Fe, Albany, Salem, Harrisburg, Providence, Columbia, Salt Lake City, Richmond, and Charleston are excellent cities for an NFL team and its stadium. That will allow them to have football and possibly soccer to be separate from other sports in smaller cities. Smaller cities are much better than bigger cities.
Other cities like Montgomery, Little Rock, Hartford, Boise, Springfield, Topeka, maybe Lexington, Jackson, Carson City, Manchester, Trenton, Santa Fe, Albany, Salem, Providence, Columbia, Salt Lake City, Richmond, and Charleston as well as Des Moines should totally be in desperate to have an NFL team to make a perfect fit for the cities and the league with no other major pro sports around in these areas, other than soccer.
Des Moines is the largest city in Iowa and also has a state capitol building.
Does Moines Blues would be a good fit for a team relocation/expansion.
Honolulu is the capital and largest city of the U.S. state of Hawaiʻi. It is an unincorporated part of and the county seat of the City and County of Honolulu along the southeast coast of the island of Oʻahu.
Just relocate the Jag's there and you got a brand new franchise
States of Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wyoming. That's 23 out of 50 US states that still doesn't even have a single major pro sport team and that should change soon in almost all states that I listed on here. At least have an NFL team and some even soccer. Boise is the state capitol and largest city and one of the oldest settlements in the US State of Idaho. The city should have a retractable roof stadium that can and should be shared with a University program, other cities should also be Little Rock, Hartford, Des Moines, Jackson, Manchester, Providence, Columbia, Salt Lake City, and Charleston WV as well as Boise. That should and will be a blast and perfect fit with the league.
They should be called Boise something instead of Seattle Seahawks.
Be called Boise Gems, Boise Blues or whatever they should call it.
Maybe be called Boise Gems.
They should bring back the Colonels and have KFC as their sponsor. They could even have someone dress as Colonel Sanders for the mascot and serve KFC buckets in the stands at halftime.
I like this one the best
Connecticut doesn't have a major pro sport team in generations. Small cities are much better than big cities for a profession American Football team and its stadium. Other cities like Little Rock, Wilmington, Tallahassee instead of Jacksonville, Miami or Tampa, Boise, Rockford or Springfield instead of Chicago, Des Moines, Topeka, Lexington, Augusta, Grand Rapids instead of Detroit, Jackson, Independence or St. Joseph in Missouri instead of KC, Carson City instead of LV, Manchester, Trenton, Santa Fe, Albany instead of NYC area, Dayton instead of Cincinnati or Cleveland, Salem, Providence, Columbia, Salt Lake City, Richmond, and Charleston. They can be separated from other sports.
Vancouver is a coastal seaport city in western Canada, located in the Lower Mainland region of British Columbia. Actually, it should be the other Vancouver instead of in Canada. It should be the one in Washington state next to Portland Oregon. The NFL should have teams in smaller markets just like they did back in 1920. The Packers play in Green Bay Wisconsin with a city population of just 110 thousand people and still fill up Lambeau Field with no other sports around town. Cities like Little Rock, Boise, Des Moines, Jackson, Carson City, Manchester, Santa Fe, Albany, Salem, Providence, Columbia, and Salt Lake are perfect fits and better cities than much larger cities for a team.
I think that Memphis and other Southern United States Major Cities are underrated in my opinion. The South is the #1 region for NCAA Football and just Football in general. There's at least 6 Southern U.S. Cities that I could name that I believe need to have NFL Football Teams. If Memphis were to actually get an NFL Football Team, they obviously would have to be put in the NFC Southern Division since the Tennessee Titans already play in the AFC Southern Division. It would look like this with just Memphis added in a 5�"Team NFC Southern Division:
(NFC Southern Division):
1) Atlanta Falcons
2) Carolina Panthers
3) Memphis, TN (NFL Football Expansion Team)
4) New Orleans Saints
5) Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Memphis needs MLB, NFL & NHL teams. Having a team in Memphis would develop a rivalry between the Tennessee Titans & A Memphis NFL Football team. The city needs to grow on sports. It already has the Memphis Grizzlies who have been pretty successful in making the NBA Playoffs. A possible team name could the Memphis Freedomleaders or BBQ's.
Memphis would be a great NFL city, 8 home dates would sell out quickly especially when, cowboys, Steelers, 49ers, or titans come to town. It's clear they should consider Memphis Blues as name. This city is chomping at the bit to have a franchise of its own
Memphis deserves a NFL Team. With a metro of 1.3 million we could definitely support 8 home dates. Corporate support is a plus for Memphis
Birmingham is the largest city in the US State of Alabama. It is located 147 miles, or 237 kilometers west of Atlanta. Even though they had pro football teams back in the day we could have another chance at a pro football team again. It would be cool to see Birmingham play against Atlanta
They can call themselves the Birmingham Bombshells.
Austin doesn't have any professional sports teams, so it would be interesting to see an NFL team in Austin.
