Gothamite Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Toronto hasn't shown it wants the Bills. I'd say that its potential as an NFL market is questionable at best. What's San Antionio's corporate base like? Can they really support a team? The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beluga4 Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 Portland would be a great place for an NFL team, their MLS team the Timbers currently has the best fan base in the league so they probably could have a football team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil G Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Can they really support a team? If they can support the Spurs, yes. Football is king down in Texas, and San Antonio isn't a large university town.

Chicageaux Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I don't really remember but how receptive was San Antonio when the Saints played there after Katrina hit? Was there a buzz around town and did fans come out to watch them play? I think that has to play a factor into whether a team ever relocates there.I'm also in agreement that we're not going to see anymore expansion teams, atleast not for awhile. Relocation is the best bet. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saintsfan Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Are the NFL going to wait forever for someone to relocate to LA? Then once you've got one expansion team, you almost have to commit to two for balance. Then it comes down to who wants to pay the most and can show they will bring value to the league. Does Texas need 3 NFL teams? Is it football, or college football Texans are really into? Is San Antonio a big enough city for the NFL? (Many of those are genuine questions). The problem is I don't see that many more attractive locations for the NFL. Any name that comes up has issue. A Virginia based team would have to compete of fans against the Redskins and Ravens, travel issues complicate the arguments for London and Mexico City, the list starts then to get quite thin. 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was there a buzz around town and did fans come out to watch them play? I think that has to play a factor into whether a team ever relocates there.San Antonio was never considered as a permanent relocation option for the Saints, even when they were playing there.

hellslayer2000 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Yeah, as someone who lives in LA the one problem with relocation is no one will go to see a see a struggling franchise, look at the Frank Macourt era Dodgers or the clippers. The only way anyone would go to games for a struggling team is if it's expansion where its reasonable to be bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
