Bruhammydude 232 Posted August 27, 2018 What city/cities do you like to use for alternate universe sports leagues? I personally like teams in the south, like Los Angeles, Miami, Dallas, Houston, and Atlanta 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pianoknight 2,847 Posted August 27, 2018 I like Omaha. Homer pick since it's my hometown, but there is a passionate - and educated - fanbase there. Husker football, Creighton basketball, College World Series and Mavs / Knights hockey. Omaha sports fans are razor sharp across a variety of sports, plus the city has nearly a million people in the greater metro area. Far bigger than places like Green Bay and on par with metros like New Orleans, Salt Lake and Buffalo, each of which boasts big-time sports. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FALCON6 236 Posted August 28, 2018 Aside from the obvious large metro areas, I go for Salt Lake City 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnnysama 781 Posted August 29, 2018 Orlando, FL makes for a great fictional sports team town. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mac the Knife 1,245 Posted August 29, 2018 If you're gonna go fictional, go fictional: Neptune. The Crab Nebula. Omaha's good, Raleigh is good (because invariably it's "Carolinized"), Richmond, Louisville, Knoxville, Buffalo (because all one imagines is either actual Buffalo or maybe chicken wings), Quebec City, Indianapolis, Des Moines, Little Rock, Fort Worth (because people think of Dallas first), El Paso, Albuquerque... it's actually a pretty long list, now that I think about it seriously for more than about 60 seconds. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
apeman33 10 Posted September 8, 2018 The teams in one of my fantasy leagues a few years decided to do something like this. There were a couple of goofs who put their teams in towns that have like 100 people in them. But most of us picked cities that we thought could be good homes for a minor league. The better ones were Portland, Shreveport, Omaha, Hartford and Tacoma. One guy put his team in Idaho Falls and another responded by putting his in Boise so there would be an "interstate rivalry." I put my team in San Antonio. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msubulldog 320 Posted September 9, 2018 If I did, I would pick San Antonio as it only has one professional team for one of the top ten populated cities in the US. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pianoknight 2,847 Posted September 10, 2018 Population density of the US means pro teams (and big cities) tend to lean to the East. Therefore, I like using Western cities like Salt Lake, Vegas, Albuquerque, El Paso, Santa Fe, Portland, and so forth. Also, I'm a sucker for Mexican cities. We already have a handful of "US" pro teams in Canada (Raptors, Blue Jays) and that's not counting the NHL. I figure if basketball or baseball (especially baseball) can thrive in Canada, why not an expansion team in Mexico City or Monterrey? Or for that matter, all of Latin America/Caribbean, like San Juan, San Jose, Port-au-Prince, Kingston, Havana, etc. I mean if these are fictional leagues, travel considerations aren't a thing, so why not a hoops squad in Jamaica or Mexico? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
