You're setting Texas up with two teams (two of which are in Dallas) and removing Philidelphia from the League. I sincerly hope that one of those Dallas' was a typo and you meant to put 'Philadelphia'.I think it was cause he didn't itaicize the second one Check out my new NFL 2016 Series!

I say either move Jacksonville to L.A. (Florida's a small enough state, I don't see the need of having 3 teams). Or relocate Oakland back to L.A..

tron1013 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Perhaps this should account for the Bills impending move to Toronto and put the expansion team in Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eRay Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Perhaps this should account for the Bills impending move to Toronto and put the expansion team in Buffalo.Or even Rochester if things don't end nicely in Buffalo.I'd put Toronto in the AFC East, Salt Lake City in the AFC North, Mexico City in the AFC South, LA in the AFC West, OKC or Little Rock in the NFC East, Portland in the NFC North, San Antonio in the NFC South, and Las Vegas in the NFC West if it were up to me. Of course, not my project. Hope it turns out great though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louisville fits right in the middle of Bowling Green, KY, Paducah, KY, and Lexington, KY (Churchill Downs Area included). That could lead to local rivalries with; Memphis, Nashville, St. Louis and of course the division rivals. IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really room for a 4th team, especially one that close to Tampa Bay.- Montreal - Wouldn't spend money to replace Olympic Stadium for the Expos, not gonna do it for an NFL team either.- Portland - Good choice, but NOT for the NFC North. Minnesota is the furthest team west in that division. They are not gonna have it go from Detroit all the way to the west coast. That's worst than St. Louis to the west coast (which IS the west division).- Virginia - Too many other better choices. I'd have them just outside of the top 8 cities.- Los Angeles, Anaheim, OKC and Toronto are all top notch choices (Anaheim: maybe not if they didn't want to put 2 teams in LA at once.) https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perfect Zero Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 OK, so how about this?NFCEAST: New York (N), Dallas, Washington, Philadelphia, TORONTONORTH: Chicago, Detroit, Minnesota, Green Bay, St. LouisWEST: San Fransisco, Seattle, Arizona, LAS VEGAS, LOS ANGELESSOUTH: Atlanta, New Orleans, Carolina, Tampa Bay, MEMPHISAFC EAST: New York (A), Buffalo, Miami, New England, MONTREALNORTH: Baltimore, Cincinnati, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Kansas CityWEST: Denver, San Diego, Oakland, MEXICO CITY, MONTERREYSOUTH: Houston, Indianapolis, Jacksonville, Tennessee, OKLAHOMA CITYI think most of the problems stem from the fact that it's running thin in cities in the United States. I think the NFL is looking to expand influence in Mexico, so I think two Mexican cities would be a must. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batfan1400 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 If I had my druthers,this is how I would expand the NFL and also rearrange thecurrent division alignment as well.AMERICAN CONFERENCEEast Division1).Buff.Bills 2).Mia.Dolphins 3).N.Engl.

AHcreative Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 THIS is how the NFL should be organized. But I suppose expanding into Canada wouldn't be such a bad idea; as far as organizing the NFL with 32 teams, the above link should be followed.

TalktoChuck Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 OK so my take on this would be as follows:West Teams: LA, and PortlandNorth Teams: Toronto, and Salt Lake CitySouth Teams: Oklahoma City, and San AntonioEast Teams: Louisville, and BirminghamNow the east cities I'm not so sure about. But there isn't much market left unclaimed in the east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raysox Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I don't think adding teams more teams would work. 32 is a good round number.Relocate teams then, but not to Canada. @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared222 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 In my opinion there are 4 no brainer choices for NFL expansion , finding 4 more is a little more difficult and I have no idea how that would work for the scedule etc... So the 4 no Brain choices are... L.A. , Portland , Las Vegas and Toronto ... This is based purely on the fact these are in the top 40 cities by population and the proximity to other clubs ... Louisville , Kentucky would also be a sleeper city pick i think ... San Antonio( 2 other Texas NFL teams) , Columbus( 2 other teams in Ohio) , San Jose( 49ers right across the Bay) and Milwaukee ( Green Bay is Wisconsins team) Would all be good cities for teams but for the above reasons i would choose the first 4 before these choices ...
