Top 10 Sports Teams that Most Need Relocation

The Top Ten
1 Arizona Coyotes The Arizona Coyotes are a professional ice hockey team based in the Phoenix suburb of Glendale, Arizona.

Here is how it went. Atlanta flames moved to calgary good. Winnipeg mooved to phoenix bad. Thrashers moved to winnipeg becoming winnipeg jets 2.0 and in 2014 Bettman changed Phoenix coyoties into arizona coyoties. Like at least let them keep the name phoenix because I don't know it just sounds better being phoenix. But no. Also the nhl was great before the stupid golden knights came along. I mean he won't give a team to hamilton. that's where your fans are Gary. Hockey has strong roots in canada but now he is giving las vegas nhl team? The only thing good about him is that he made it very easy for the next guy that has his job. Gary Bettman as comissioner is like Wayne Gretzky being president of the united states.

2 Tampa Bay Rays The Tampa Bay Rays are an American professional baseball team based in St. Petersburg, Florida. The Rays compete in Major League Baseball as a member of the American League East division.

They have terrible attendance. Their stadium is an embarrassment to the sport of baseball. A move from St. Petersburg to Tampa or Montreal would be good.

The Trop sucks. I suggest looking at Puerto Rico, Nashville, Buffalo, Montreal, and Charlotte.

3 Sacramento Kings The Sacramento Kings are a professional basketball team located in Sacramento, California. Competing in the NBA, they belong to the Western Conference Pacific Division. Although championship success has been elusive, the team has a dedicated fan base. Their colors are purple, silver, and black.

There are already 3 other teams in California. NBA Champions Warriors, world-popular Lakers, and playoff contending Clippers. However, the Kings have been a mess for years and won't come close to winning another NBA title. A move to Seattle would make WAY more sense.

Relocate to Seattle become the sonics everyone will be happy

4 Buffalo Bills The Buffalo Bills are a professional American football team based in the Buffalo–Niagara Falls metropolitan area that competes in the National Football League. Buffalo Bills had the longest playoff drought of any team which came to an end in 2017.

Orchard Park isn't a good spot for the Bills and they don't get much attendance. The Jets and Giants have WAY more attendance than the Bills. Toronto would be a great place for them.

I think it's less a matter of "if" and more a matter of "when". Toronto is going to get them and I think that is pretty much common knowledge.

5 Charlotte Hornets The Charlotte Hornets are an American professional basketball team based in Charlotte, North Carolina. The Hornets compete in the National Basketball Association, as a member of the league's Eastern Conference Southeast Division.

Franchise is not working, even with Jordan's help. not worth sticking around when your constantly loosing millions of dollars annually

The attendance is horrible! Jordan didn't do anything but change the name of the team. Nobody wants to watch a team who won't go anywhere. So move them to Buffalo or Tampa.

6 Florida Panthers The Florida Panthers are an American professional ice hockey team based in the Miami metropolitan area.

The Panthers have the worst attendance in the league and have only made the playoffs 5 times in their franchise history. Their state rivals, Tampa Bay Lightning, have great attendance and way more playoff appearances. And who watches hockey in Sunrise? A move to Quebec City would be a good choice.

Should be moved to a place people actually care about hockey. Canada, or the Midwest, or maybe even a smaller market like Omaha or Halifax or Quebec city

The Thunder are so much more popular. I suggest going to Quebec City.

7 Memphis Grizzlies The Memphis Grizzlies are an American professional basketball team based in Memphis, Tennessee. The Grizzlies compete in the National Basketball Association as a member team of the league's Western Conference Southwest Division.

First off, Grizzles is a horrible name for a state without any grizzly bears. They have trouble bringing in fans and lose a lot every year. A move to Vancouver would be perfect.

Leaving Vancouver was a big mistake. Go back to Canada where there's actual grizzlies.

8 New York Islanders The New York Islanders are a professional ice hockey team based in the New York metropolitan area. They are members of the Metropolitan Division of the Eastern Conference of the National Hockey League.

Not sure about this one. New York City can support multiple teams for basically every sport and there are enough hockey fans there. I was in NYC in 2014 and I was pleased with how much the city loves hockey.

The Islanders are not as popular as their city rivals, the Rangers. The move to Brooklyn did nothing for them. Just move them somewhere close.

9 Los Angeles Chargers

The Chargers moved to LA as the "second fiddle" team to the Rams, who also moved to LA a year prior. The Rams' move to LA was a success, making it to the Super Bowl in their 3rd season, and are getting a sexy new stadium in a couple seasons, as for the Chargers, they have no business in LA. Last season, they were last place in attendance, this is especially bad when you realize that they play in a soccer stadium, and even when they get people in attendance, they are almost always opposing fans. The Chargers should move to Orange County, where they can attract both LA and San Diego, or just move back to San Diego, as LA can only support one NFL team. To be honest, LA should have gotten the Raiders instead of the Chargers...

10 Jacksonville Jaguars The Jacksonville Jaguars are an American professional football franchise based in Jacksonville, Florida.
The Contenders
11 Carolina Hurricanes The Carolina Hurricanes are a professional ice hockey team based in Raleigh, North Carolina. They are members of the Metropolitan Division of the Eastern Conference of the National Hockey League.

Carolina doesn't care about hockey. The south east only needs two teams any ways. I suggest going to Houston.

Their attendance was worse than the Coyotes from 2014-17.

Move to Houston.
The name would make more sense.

12 New Orleans Pelicans The New Orleans Pelicans are an American professional basketball team based in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Pelicans compete in the National Basketball Association as a member club of the league's Western Conference Southwest Division.

Though Anthony Davis increased attendance there, they still can't make enough money. Yet, they aren't appreciated enough. Move them to Las Vegas

Just doesn't seem to have a great following. Too bad but there are other markets that could use a team

13 Oakland Athletics

A close move like San Jose would make sense. Or maybe Montreal.

14 Los Angeles Clippers The Los Angeles Clippers, often abbreviated as the LA Clippers, are an American professional basketball team based in Los Angeles.

The name clippers doesn't make sense cause you could only see clipper boat in san diego

15 New York Jets The New York Jets are a professional American football team located in the New York metropolitan area.

New York has too much sports teams they have 2 nba teams and they have 2 mlb teams and 2 nhl teams and they all ready have New York giants.

16 Cleveland Browns The Cleveland Browns are a professional American football team based in Cleveland, Ohio. The Browns compete in the National Football League as a member team of the American Football Conference North division... read more

The name is boring.
You can stay in Cleveland...
But change the name to the Bulldogs or something like that

This team has been at the bottom of the league since they returned to the NFL.

17 New York Mets The New York Mets are an American professional baseball team based in New York City. They play in Flushing, in the borough of Queens.

Why does New York need 2 mlb teams? They all ready have the successful New York Yankees 27 World Series which they won and the Mets 2 World Series In 1969 And 1989

18 Golden State Warriors The Golden State Warriors are an American professional basketball team based in San Francisco. The Warriors compete in the National Basketball Association as a member of the league's Western Conference Pacific Division.

Location: San Francisco, CA

19 Miami Marlins The Miami Marlins (known as the Florida Marlins from 1993 to 2011) are an American professional baseball organization based in Miami, Florida. Established in 1993, they compete in Major League Baseball as a member club of the National League East division. Their home park is Marlins Park. Though one... read more
20 Chicago White Sox Representing the South Side of Chicago, Illinois, this Major League Baseball (MLB) team is part of the American League Central division. The White Sox have won multiple World Series titles and play at Guaranteed Rate Field. Their uniform colors are black, white, and silver.
21 Edmonton Oilers The Edmonton Oilers are a professional ice hockey team based in Edmonton, Alberta. They are members of the Pacific Division of the Western Conference of the National Hockey League.

Complete garbage since 2006 and have taken 4-5 FIRST OVERALL picks and traded 2 OF them for nonthing! It's surprising how teams like the coyotes, a team that shouldn't be in Arizona has made the playoffs more than Edmonton in 10 years!

22 Los Angeles Lakers The Los Angeles Lakers are an American professional basketball team based in Los Angeles. The Lakers compete in the National Basketball Association, as a member of the league's Western Conference Pacific Division.

Head coach: Frank Vogel

Arena/Stadium: Staples Center... read more
