Agreed... not to mention what NFL expansion franchise in their right mind wants to move into an over taxed and over regulated state like California into an incompetently managed city like Oakland who managed to chase away all 3 NFL, NBA and MLB teams they already had. Meanwhile, the loyal fan base remains loyal... TO THE RAIDERS and 49ers, 90% of whom would not switch loyalties. Personally, I would love to see Mexico City and Toronto get the next 2 expansion franchises.
The NFL won’t be allowed to expand to Canada because of the Canadian government and the need for the CFL to still exist. An NFL team in Toronto would kill off the CFL.
@@darrellschleif6688 no it doesn’t. But the NFL says the Toronto is Buffalo Bills territory. Only a relocation from Buffalo would be allowed and with new stadium in Orchard Park that not Happening

Wow. San Antonio will get a team long before St. Louis ever gets a third shot at it. In fact, as by far the largest remaining market without a team(it includes Austin), San Antonio is guaranteed to get the next franchise. They should have had one years ago. Salt Lake City geographically makes the most sense as the second, and San Diego would probably be the third if they build a new stadium. All of them will have eager fan bases, by the way, so that is not even part of the equation
The Murder Capital of the UNITED STATES is NOT getting a team back before TORONTO finally gets their team. One makes as much Dollars as it does Sense, the other is another crap-shoot waiting to happen.
The fact you put Hartford Connecticut over cities like San Antonio and Austin Tells me you clearly have no idea what you're talking about. Thumbs down 👎🏻
Watching in San Diego & I was a huge Chargers fan since 1971. Very sad day when the owner moved the team to Los Angeles 7 years ago. We had poor community leaders combined with extremely bad ownership of the team, made a perfect storm to allow the team to leave San Diego, after 56 years of loyal fan base. Who knows, maybe someday we’ll get lucky & be blessed with another NFL team. We did support 3 fantastic SuperBowls & we always have great weather in February.
Wasn't there for the departure in San Diego, but having good or bad city leaders does not matter. We (St. Louis) followed the NFL rules, pulled all the strings to be able to build a new stadium to replace a dome that is not 30 years old and the Rams left before the Chargers or Raiders left.
i moved to San Diego the year the chargers left so i never had the opportunity to go to a game. baseball is big in this city and prior to moving here i was never into that sport, not even going to MLB games. years later i am now a padres fan and i love going to the games; and i see how much the city loves their team. i am a die hard patriots fan and would never switch teams but i would definitely go to the games for whichever NFL team came to San Diego. as a sports fan you can definitely feel the chargers void in this city. it sucks!
I agreed with all BUT 1 of the picks. Oakland refused to work out any new stadium deals with any of their major sports teams. That is why the Raiders left, the Warriors left, and why the A's are now looking for a place to call home.
Plenty of cities have lost sports teams and still brought an expansion team in. Cleveland Browns, Minnesota North Stars/Wild, Charlotte Hornets, New Orleans Jazz/Pelicans, etc.
Well, you come to the right place, I can predict that Caliente Casino will create the franchise and either expand Snapdragon Stadium to 70000 seats or build it next to Del Mar Thoroughbred Club (Jimmy Durante Way that is) capacity of 75000 would do the trick
San Diego city and the fanbase can't or won't support and NFL team UNLESS they go to the Superbowl. Then all of a sudden they will rename thier streets like B street becoming Bolt Street, and then changing it back afterwards. San Diego is the consummate "Bandwagon" city! Moving a team there would be a failure. OKC and St Louis are much better options.
@MrSavageDOESITALL San Diego fans aren't interested in thier teams until they go to the Championships. Then all of a sudden they change the cities street names and EVERYONE'S a Chargers fan. Otherwise the stadium sits half empty.
@@FM-ig3th Both situations were due to greed by owners who had little ties to the city. Technically, St. Louis has never had an original NFL franchise as the Cardinals came to St. Louis from Chicago, and the Rams, obviously, came from LA.
The Chargers should have never left San Diego except Spanos wanted the city to pay for a new stadium. Kroenke was leaving St. Louis no matter what the city proposed including a new stadium.
Uh, sorry to disappoint you, but St. Louis will be well down the list. San Antonio is guaranteed a team. Salt Lake will probably get the second franchise. If the NFL expands further(unlikely at one time), then San Diego would probably be the third. Then maybe St. Louis? Or Oklahoma City.
Or at least do the Super Bowl outside the country if they must have their foreign games, and especially their stupid neutral site Super Bowls I hate so much!
before they go international they need to find out that if a city outside the United States will support a team what i would do is use that 17 game as a neutral site game and see if cities outside the U.S. will support football year round
I have Salt Lake number two on my list after San Antonio/Austin, and I can't see St. Louis getting a third shot at the NFL, at least not until it makes tremendous strides with crime and the economy.
San Antonio - Pro: Large city and love of sports. Con: Jerry Jones would stop any expansion there as it would threaten revenue and attention from the Cowboys. Austin: Pro: Mid sized city with sports culture (College football with Texas Longhorns and professional soccer with Austin FC). Con: lack of infrastructure for an NFL team. City would not approve funding for a stadium and other required construction.
@ericlove8716 Yeah, I'm currently living here. This place sucks and there's nothing special about this dump. This city is just full of bad drivers and illegal immigrants.
I'm in Houston and yes San Antonio would be a perfect pick. Just please do something about how your streets are laid out. Geez I get so lost every time I go there LOL
I would love to have NFL team in Utah but we are trying to get a MLB team first so I don’t know if we could build two stadiums unless we can expand RSL
The problem with Portland is there isn’t enough land in the downtown area. Granted, they finally found a suitable location for a baseball stadium for the MLB. This is coming from someone who lives in the Portland area. San Antonio is more ideal but you have to get through Jerry Jones who will not approve such an expansion unless he’s grown senile.
Appreciate your positive take on St. Louis, that also was home to the football Cardinals before they left for Arizona, but i would be beyond stunned if the NFL came back here. The league does not like St. Louis for some reason and dragged the city's image through mud getting the Rams out of here.
Facts, and they should build the stadium in either St.Louis county or St. Charles County, away from the tiggers who are destroying the city each and every single day.
Khan was set to buy the rams and keep them in St. Louis. However, kroenke now being the majority owner after Georgia passed so had first right, came in at the 11 hour and bought them, killing Khans deal with the NFL.
You bring up a very good point. 32 teams is too many when you look at the Jags and Titans in Jacksonville and Nashville, they may have been better off at 30
@onthedraw I think the NFL wanted to stay at 30 teams but when the Browns moved out of Cleveland that forced the NFL to expand again. If Cleveland had just built the Browns a stadium the Ravens and Texans never would have existed.
Do you really think that a team in Europe would be economically and logistically viable? Do you really think that having more than 20 transatlantic trips would be viable? And those are just the trips of the hypothetical London team.
If only 4 added I'd see it as Toronto, SLC, Mexico City, Honalulu. If 8: St. Louis, New Mexico (also draw El Paso), Vancouver, and San Antonio. If San Diego gets a team it should be the Chargers getting sent back. Then there are a lot of other cities I could see wanting teams like Memphis, Birmingham, and Sturgis. Maybe NYC needs a replacement team, so no one has to cheer for the Jets ever again.
Right now the NFL has 32 teams and if the league were to expand in my opinion the total number of teams would have to go to 40 teams over a period of time. So, each of the eight current divisions would add an extra team. And, if St. Louis was awarded an expansion team would have to play in an new either fixed or retractable roof stadium. I would not want to sit through a cold outdoor game right on the river in either December or January.
0:55 The NFL and UFL should unite to construct the much-anticipated Proposed Oklahoma City Stadium, creating a premier venue that benefits both leagues and enhances the sports experience for fans.
This is all purely fiction. The NFL and owners have said multiple times already they have no intention of expanding anytime soon. They are happy with the current status quo. Hell the NFL just had not one but two teams leave their cities in the last few years for LA due to lack of fan interest and funding to build new facilities for their teams. Why would the NFL expand to even more cities that can't support teams financially or with fans. Both teams that moved to LA one of the biggest cities in the US are both struggling to fill their stadiums seats with true fans of their teams. More than half the people that show up to each game are fans of the visitors not the home teams. So how would a much smaller city ever be able to fill seats and sell enough merchandise to ever be successful in the NFL.
@@ScrewFlanders Green Bay has totally different business plan. Maybe small cities should look at that plan, which is grass roots based, before going all in with a greedy billionaire ownership. Green Bay doesn't have a greedy billionaire as an owner; look into that business structure.
@@darkguild69 that’s cause LA is a sh!t sports town, if they’d stayed in the Lou & hired mcvey, spent on fa’s etc, they’d sell out every game. Much better than LA.
They need to make the Saint Louis Battlehawks the NFL franchise. That city shows out for that team. They have a stadium. The NFL can help to renovate. Ask the CFL if they can pay for the rights of the name and logos, and there is the new team in a perfect location. They can be a part of the NFC West.
You don’t care how big the city is, it’s how big the media market is. Also, NFL stadia go for about a billion dollars a throw and the league or any potential owner is going to expect the public to pay most of that. You’re also going to need 60,000 to 80,000 people to want to spend $250 or so per seat plus food, drinks, and parking (if you’re not attached to good public transport) at least 8 or 9 times a year. Seems like that eliminates most of these cities.
As long as the CFL exists the NFL won't try expansion. The CFL would have to fold first. Considering the grey cup is the oldest Chamption still being Defended today I don't see NFL team for along time .
@@psychopathyoutubeemployees280 Smart???? Edmonton changed their footballs team name from the Eskimo's to the (shudders in disgust) THE ELK. An they did it just to appease a small vocal bunch of white guilt wokists. The Elk, pfftttt, next Chicago will be changing their NHL teams name from the Blackhawks to the fighting sparrows.
WRONG; this is the take of an uninformed & uneducated dunce who clearly has zero intellectual grasp of his own terrible point. Nothing is stopping the NFL from expanding into Canada, specifically Toronto.
That was a great list.I like your top five much better than the bottom five. I wouldn't put a team in canada since they have so many regulations , there's baseball players that aren't allowed to play when When they're visiting toronto which is a total advantage for the for the Blue Jay's. I need to find out if this happens also to NHL teams.
I just checked canada has dropped the regulations on vaccines. However , took way too long and I still believe that Blue jays should have been playing in buffalo the whole time.
Recently from my stake in a business that was acquired for billions. I can own part of an NFL team. Hopefully it works out. Just cause I have the money doesn't mean it will work out. If I had my choice I would love to get in on an expansion team. Own part of soccer teams now. Austin or San Diego would be nice.
San Antonio Texas, Spokane, Washington, Memphis, Tennessee, Vancouver British Columbia, Orlando Florida and Sacramento California should be listed as well.
Memphis sadly had too much crime. I think Vancouver is perfect. Orlando is super crowded , but san Antonio is your best pic by far. A team would do really well there
All Steelers games are televised in Mexico City and the largest radio station in Mexico City broadcast all Steelers games as well! The Steelers have camps for adults and children every year in Mexico City!
@psychopathyoutubeemployees280Yes. National Car Rental Field was going to be built for the Rams if they had stayed in St.Louis. However, Stan Kroenke, Jerry Jones, and the NFL illegally moved the Rams out of St.Louis because they wanted an NFL team back in LA.
@@psychopathyoutubeemployees280 Just regarding what would have been, if you know what I mean? There were renderings for a new St. Louis Rams stadium just to try and keep them from moving, and there was already that sponsor for the stadium.
As an Oklahoma City resident, I can honestly say---its about time we got one! We're bigger than either Kansas City or Saint Louis. The only problem is if we have any room to build a new stadium? There was a perfect spot behind the Harkins theater on some old abandoned well site/grain mill, but they've already planned to build a major league soccer stadium in that spot. Like most cities, it should be in the center of the city, and that would have been perfect, but not for the proposed soccer stadium
@chrisoberst3531 Really is that true? I was in the military with a bunch of guys from Oklahoma and Texas, and I remember it was a really big rivalry, particularly with collage football. They couldn't take that to the next level with a team in Oklahoma that could then complete with the NFL Texas teams?
St. Louis, Oakland and San Diego have to be the first cities to get a franchise as they were ripped off. Oklahoma City should get one. I would add at least 4 teams over two years. I would add 4 more teams after 5-10 years , that’s when I would look at getting teams in Canada and possibly Mexico.
Got that right big dawg!! I'm from the Lou and we got screwed...TWICE!😂😂 Besides , the NFL cannot expand internationally because it would no longer be the NFL it would have to the the IFL...wouldn't it??😮😊
Another issue with CDMX is elevation. It would become the highest elevation team in the league. By a lot. The air is thin. Yes, games have been played there, but to do it all the time would likely necessitate an indoor stadium where you could maybe pump in a little more oxygen.
The only feasible city out of all these is San Diego. They have the population density, money, fan base (San Diegans do not support the LA Chargers), and beautiful weather.
The only two places in the USA that should have the next NFL franchises are Lockjaw Alabama ( the Jawbreakers), and Cufflink N. Dakota ( the Links)🏈🏈🏈……….
St. Louis would be a good fit... There should be facility ready in STL.. Training Camp at least for a few years could be held at Western Illinois University...
I would add San Antonio, Birmingham, Memphis, and Orlando. I would drop Toronto, Mexico City, Hartford, and Hawaii. I'd also consider dropping OKC because, even though there are OU and OSU fan bases, few would buy tickets to a college game on Saturday and a pro game on Sunday-over $1,000 for a family of 4. Even the USFL 1.0 knew better and placed the Oklahoma team in Tulsa. Oklahoma Outlaws -Doug Williams was the QB. They played in Skelly Stadium.
I’m not sure residents or political leaders in Stl would stomach the NFL again. But they do still have that 850 million dollar settlement from NFL that hasn’t been used if they chose to use it for a stadium. A new stadium would have to be open air and out in the county where the population centers are and no crime.
That makes perfect sense because they city is becoming dangerous, specifically downtown and the surrounding areas, due to the tiggers committing consistent crime. I would say that a potential ope. air stadium should be built in either Chesterfield, Maryland Heights, Eureka, Town and Country, or even growing St.Charles County
What about Omaha Nebraska, Jackson Mississippi, San Antonio Texas, Austin Texas, El Paso Texas, Amarillo Texas, Albuquerque New Mexico, Santa Fe New Mexico, Boise Idaho, Bismarck North Dakota, Louisville Kentucky, Charleston West Virginia, Columbia South Carolina, Birmingham Alabama, Montgomery Alabama, Des Moines Iowa, the quad cities Iowa/Illinois, and my final location Cheyenne Wyoming that's my list of where I think they should put teams at
If you want to put a team in the state of kentucky, you need to put it in frankfurt because you could draw from lexington and louisville, but I don't believe it would survive.
San Diego would welcome the NFL, if the ownership builds *their* facilities with *their* money. San Diego has great year round weather, the population is well educated, it's a tourist destination and has a very large military presence. We're not desperate here in SD like other cities that are willing to dole out corporate welfare funded by local taxpayers just to placate billionaire owners. The Chargers were moved because the franchise, which is valued in the billions, wasn't willing to pay *their* way.
I would like the NFL to have 40 teams, and also create a new championship called the NFL Cup, like the NBA Cup was created, and have the AFC and NFC groups divided so that the teams have opportunities.
I can't see how the NFL can expand given that youth football participation in the U.S. is declining. In the future, the NFL simply won't have the pool to maintain the the talent level of its present teams let alone expanding that talent level for new teams.
Only a certain amount of athletes make it to the NFL, I'd like to see the league expand its pool of players, which would give kids more incentive to participate when they see their odds of making it increase
@@fred-s7e Canada doesn't have enough homegrown talent to support the CFL. There is any talent coming into league from foreign countries because football is almost wholly an American sport. This isn't baseball, basketball, hockey, or soccer.
@@GregoryBeckom The reason participation is declining in the U.S. is because parents don't want their sons to suffer brain damage. The motivation for sports participation shouldn't be because it offers great career prospects. That's not a realistic goal for the vast majority of individuals participating on a youth level
@alastairpaisley6668 the league is now taking all sorts of measures to decrease injuries in general, especially compared to the old days. And is the research on, boxing, wrestling, rugby, competitive martial arts, and MMA fighting the same for brain damage
Hartford - Not enough people and Patriot territory Oakland - Not enough money, if city has to lay off police and firefighters, then they don’t need a football team. Honolulu - Travel restrictions and team would have to build infrastructure around aloha stadium, which native hawaiians will never approve. San Diego - Residents are die hard Chargers fans and would be hard to sell tax increase to pay for stadium in already expensive city. Also Junior Seau is pronounced Say-Ow. Mexico City - city is located in high elevation with polluted air. Also, security issues with players and family would be an issue. Austin. San Antonio, Birmingham, and St. Louis are best options.
@@mcfly7 Nahhhh eastern Canadians r to busy worshipping the cult of Trudeau to have time for Football. I say the NFL should buy the Blue Bombers from the CFL and expand in Winnipeg. The CFL could take the money and bankroll a new team in Labrador or PEI. The Blue Bombers would make excellent rivals for the Vikings. An when the 2 teams aren't busy beating on one another they can look further west, the Vikings can continue to make fun of Montana for not having anything and the Bombers can continue to make fun of Saskatchewan and their Green Riders for being a bunch of 3 toothed banjo players stuck on welfare. Winnipeg should get a NFL expansion team people WHOSE WITH ME
When the NFL expanded in 1993, four cities and five teams were expected to put in bid four two teams. Nashville and Jacksonville didn’t have their home work completed by the deadline date. Charlotte and two bidding teams from Baltimore were ready at the table. Charlotte got chosen. Baltimore was asked to combine their bids and come back in a couple of weeks. Nashville and Jacksonville were given extensions. Wait a minute. They were not ready on time and were given an extension? At the second presentation, Baltimore presented the best package. But that second team went to Jacksonville. Nashville was told to wait. Baltimore was told to use their money to build a library or a museum. They told Baltimore that the NFL was not interested in re-expanding into failed territories. They told Baltimore to go get a team the way others had (you know like what Indianapolis had done five years earlier). Translation: fuxt off Baltimore. Mr Modell, the owner of the Cleveland Browns was on the selection committee and was very impressed with what Baltimore and Maryland were offering. He went to Cleveland and asked if they could match it. Cleveland basically to Mr Modell to fuxt off. So Mr Modell made a deal to move his team to Baltimore. After all, it’s exactly what the NFL said to do: go get a team the way other cities had. “BUT NOT THAT ONE!!!” Everyone was in an uproar over it. Even President Clinton stuck his now in. The NFL promised to replace the Browns. They helped front money to build a new stadium. And you had bad people in Baltimore will be considered the expansion team. In other words, Baltimore did exactly what the NFL suggested they do and then re-expanded into a failed market of Cleveland. Then came Houston going to Nashville. And what did they do? They re-expanded into a failed territory of Houston. Of the five moved or expansion cities involved it this saga, the one the NFL insultingly rejected, Baltimore, is the city with the most successful franchise. Re-expand to Oakland, St Louis, or San Diego? The NFL is not in the business of re-expanding into failed markets.
You looked at city size, and not metro area; but most glaringly, you left off San Antonio &/or Austin: San Antonio is bigger; but Austin, 80 miles away, already has the 100,000+ seat Darryl K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium. You also overlooked the biggest city begging for an NFL franchise: London, with a metro area bigger than NYC at 20+ million, and New Wembley Stadium.
Travel would be a nightmare for both London and his proposed Hawaii team. It's not just other teams traveling to those areas. The major problem is both teams would have EIGHT away games (meaning travel to the mainland) a year. That doesn't include any postseason games, if any.
No doubt the NFL has considered it, but London would be a logistical nightmare for scheduling. It's one thing to host a couple of regular season games. It's another trying to schedule for 8-9 home games and 8-9 road games. Can you switch week to week? What advantage or disadvantage does it gives teams to travel there? Do you have to consider having London play half of the season (8-9 consecutive weeks) there, with teams coming to them, and then the other half of the season on the road in the U.S.? It would be tough.
@@milescoburn1845 That can be fixed with London being in the NFC East, as it’s an easy flight from JFK, PHL, & IAD (but the Cowboys would need to be moved to another division, possibly with Houston & Austin/San Antonio & NOLA.
St. Louis deserves the next NFL franchise period. We lived in St. Louis, when the Rams left in 2016. The city has the most passionate football fans anywhere, and I grew up in New Orleans.
No one would want to ever go to Portland, Oregon. That is the most saddest and dirtiest city I've ever been to. Can you say Tent City? They would need to clean the streets up literally and get the huge homeless population a place to live.
Things have improved some. But even then,they were lucky to get the land for a baseball stadium for the MLB. Yes it would create an instant rivalry with Seattle, but the fact is that the city won’t approve as there isn’t enough land and property taxes are insanely high.
Nfl needs to stop trying to look overseas just work on America. Soccer is larger than life, most of world is poor. NFL or tackle football has huge upstart cost of pads and then health insurance. Just to complex, not ever going to gain traction overseas especially over soccer which is simple inexpensive setup. I think NFL is wasting too much money and time overseas. Can promote flag football at local level to promote good fitness, health, scale back rules back to 2000's style football. Stop rigging games or face consequences like nba. If u lengthen the season, then shorten the pre season . Too many injuries i think lack of work ethic, do more scouting based on skill and abilities not being black or aryan master race, not circus genes but actual playing ability and skills NFl will be like 2000's style.
You're right on the money regarding St. Louis. St. Louis should have never lost the Rams, and the success of the BattleHawks proves it. However, I don't see STL returning to the NFL as long as Goodell is commissioner and certain owners are still around.
@@bsputnik. Exactly and the St Louis fans forget to mention that they stole the Rams from So Cal. St Louis should never get a whiff of an NFL franchise ever, you’ve had two and you lost them and what does that say🤔

Is Red Deer far enough away from the -Eskimos- Elks and Stampeders to not affect them? Would the Canadian government be okay with NFL teams in cities that don't have the CFL like Quebec City and Halifax? Lots of questions to answer.
@@DetroitDriveArenaBaller Red Deer is full of drunks who would rather drink until their livers explode then spend their booze money on a football ticket. Besides, the elks and stampeders would do everything they could including hiring multiple hitmen to keep a NFL team out of Alberta.
As a Canadian.... No. Focus on getting a Team in Toronto, then maybe Montreal. I'm from the West but even I understand the economics of that kind of expansion simply wouldn't work at this time or in the foreseeable future.

Well, you come to the right place, I can predict that Caliente Casino will create the franchise and either expand Snapdragon Stadium to 70000 seats or build it next to Del Mar Thoroughbred Club (Jimmy Durante Way that is) capacity of 75000 would do the trick
San Diego city and the fanbase can't or won't support and NFL team UNLESS they go to the Superbowl. Then all of a sudden they will rename thier streets like B street becoming Bolt Street, and then changing it back afterwards.
San Diego is the consummate "Bandwagon" city! Moving a team there would be a failure.
OKC and St Louis are much better options.
@MrSavageDOESITALL San Diego fans aren't interested in thier teams until they go to the Championships. Then all of a sudden they change the cities street names and EVERYONE'S a Chargers fan. Otherwise the stadium sits half empty.
The NFL really doesn't need any more teams but if they did it's time to bring a team to Richmond, VA and Anchorage, Alaska
St. Louis might be the 77th largest city, but the metro area has nearly 3 million.
St. Louis & San Diego would be more ideal for the NFL.
St. Louis has already lost two teams.
@@ernestosalinas2497 what is it about San Diego. I mean the Clippers should have never left or the Chargers.
@@FM-ig3th Both situations were due to greed by owners who had little ties to the city. Technically, St. Louis has never had an original NFL franchise as the Cardinals came to St. Louis from Chicago, and the Rams, obviously, came from LA.

You bring up a very good point. 32 teams is too many when you look at the Jags and Titans in Jacksonville and Nashville, they may have been better off at 30
@onthedraw I think the NFL wanted to stay at 30 teams but when the Browns moved out of Cleveland that forced the NFL to expand again. If Cleveland had just built the Browns a stadium the Ravens and Texans never would have existed.
Agree, plus go back to 16 games - which is perfect for 32 teams.
Absolutely true.
London ,San Antonio and Austin was not mention which take 3 cities off the list
San Antonio is trash

Well take out Mexico Toronto and Hawaii.
Flight time between New York and London is 7 hours. Flight time between New York and Los Angeles is 6 hrs 15 minutes. It's very doable in London.
The problem with expansion is that they would need to expand to at least 36 teams, 40 if they don't want to mess with the current division setup.
If only 4 added I'd see it as Toronto, SLC, Mexico City, Honalulu.
If 8: St. Louis, New Mexico (also draw El Paso), Vancouver, and San Antonio.
If San Diego gets a team it should be the Chargers getting sent back. Then there are a lot of other cities I could see wanting teams like Memphis, Birmingham, and Sturgis. Maybe NYC needs a replacement team, so no one has to cheer for the Jets ever again.
@@rightwingsafetysquad9872You are tripping.
What part? There are currently 8 divisions, to keep it even they'd have to add 8 teams. If they add 4 teams they could go back to 6 divisions.
@ Diluted skills of players, too expensive, too many games, tv ratings will go down…want me to go on?
@casualarrogance Then they shouldn't expand at all.
Right now the NFL has 32 teams and if the league were to expand in my opinion the total number of teams would have to go to 40 teams over a period of time. So, each of the eight current divisions would add an extra team. And, if St. Louis was awarded an expansion team would have to play in an new either fixed or retractable roof stadium. I would not want to sit through a cold outdoor game right on the river in either December or January.
or 36 teams in 6 conferences (AFC and NFC are unnecessary)
0:55 The NFL and UFL should unite to construct the much-anticipated Proposed Oklahoma City Stadium, creating a premier venue that benefits both leagues and enhances the sports experience for fans.
Too close to Dallas. Jerry will not let it happen
Southern Connecticut is better than Hartford.
This is all purely fiction. The NFL and owners have said multiple times already they have no intention of expanding anytime soon. They are happy with the current status quo. Hell the NFL just had not one but two teams leave their cities in the last few years for LA due to lack of fan interest and funding to build new facilities for their teams. Why would the NFL expand to even more cities that can't support teams financially or with fans. Both teams that moved to LA one of the biggest cities in the US are both struggling to fill their stadiums seats with true fans of their teams. More than half the people that show up to each game are fans of the visitors not the home teams. So how would a much smaller city ever be able to fill seats and sell enough merchandise to ever be successful in the NFL.
Little ol' Green Bay seems to do all right...
@@ScrewFlanders Green Bay has totally different business plan. Maybe small cities should look at that plan, which is grass roots based, before going all in with a greedy billionaire ownership. Green Bay doesn't have a greedy billionaire as an owner; look into that business structure.

They need to make the Saint Louis Battlehawks the NFL franchise. That city shows out for that team. They have a stadium. The NFL can help to renovate. Ask the CFL if they can pay for the rights of the name and logos, and there is the new team in a perfect location. They can be a part of the NFC West.
Agree here
You don’t care how big the city is, it’s how big the media market is. Also, NFL stadia go for about a billion dollars a throw and the league or any potential owner is going to expect the public to pay most of that. You’re also going to need 60,000 to 80,000 people to want to spend $250 or so per seat plus food, drinks, and parking (if you’re not attached to good public transport) at least 8 or 9 times a year. Seems like that eliminates most of these cities.
maybe... but there are easily 4 cities that are Stadium and Audience ready.
As long as the CFL exists the NFL won't try expansion. The CFL would have to fold first. Considering the grey cup is the oldest Chamption still being Defended today I don't see NFL team for along time .

Nothing is stopping the NFL from expanding into Canada, specifically Toronto.
That was a great list.I like your top five much better than the bottom five.

I just checked canada has dropped the regulations on vaccines. However , took way too long and I still believe that Blue jays should have been playing in buffalo the whole time.
Recently from my stake in a business that was acquired for billions. I can own part of an NFL team. Hopefully it works out. Just cause I have the money doesn't mean it will work out.

As an Oklahoma City resident, I can honestly say---its about time we got one! We're bigger than either Kansas City or Saint Louis. The only problem is if we have any room to build a new stadium? There was a perfect spot behind the Harkins theater on some old abandoned well site/grain mill, but they've already planned to build a major league soccer stadium in that spot. Like most cities, it should be in the center of the city, and that would have been perfect, but not for the proposed soccer stadium

@chrisoberst3531 Really is that true? I was in the military with a bunch of guys from Oklahoma and Texas, and I remember it was a really big rivalry, particularly with collage football. They couldn't take that to the next level with a team in Oklahoma that could then complete with the NFL Texas teams?
Any time Hartford is mentioned in a sports video, I'm playing 'Brass Bonanza' in the background. Regardless of sport.
I can definitely see the NFL expanding to Canada and Mexico. Or even a European division.
It's NFL not IFL😂😂
St. Louis, Oakland and San Diego have to be the first cities to get a franchise as they were ripped off. Oklahoma City should get one. I would add at least 4 teams over two years. I would add 4 more teams after 5-10 years , that’s when I would look at getting teams in Canada and possibly Mexico.

Toronto might have a lot going for it, but it supports all of its sports teams- except the Argos.
Despite the fact it's the only team in the city that wins stuff
"Except the Argos". So why move an NFL team to Toronto?
I believe the success of the okc Thunder showed we are capable of supporting a major nfl franchise
Another issue with CDMX is elevation. It would become the highest elevation team in the league. By a lot. The air is thin. Yes, games have been played there, but to do it all the time would likely necessitate an indoor stadium where you could maybe pump in a little more oxygen.
The only feasible city out of all these is San Diego. They have the population density, money, fan base (San Diegans do not support the LA Chargers), and beautiful weather.
90% of all Charger fans are still from San Diego.
Simply not true. Other cities are better candidates.
The St Louis lawsuit is why NFL will not be returning there. #Research.

St. Louis would be a good fit...
There should be facility ready in STL..
Training Camp at least for a few years could be held at Western Illinois University...
I would add San Antonio, Birmingham, Memphis, and Orlando. I would drop Toronto, Mexico City, Hartford, and Hawaii. I'd also consider dropping OKC because, even though there are OU and OSU fan bases, few would buy tickets to a college game on Saturday and a pro game on Sunday-over $1,000 for a family of 4. Even the USFL 1.0 knew better and placed the Oklahoma team in Tulsa. Oklahoma Outlaws -Doug Williams was the QB. They played in Skelly Stadium.
Dropping TORONTO tells me your opinon is uneducated as much as your try and fluff it up with nonsencial BS about your USFL knowledge.
Oakland football fans are loyal to The Raiders…even now with the team moving to Vegas. It wouldn’t work. Hartford, Connecticut is laughable.
Years ago the Patriots were considering relocating to Hartford (as well as several other cities in New England).
@ If you believe that then I have a bridge I’d like to sell you in Brooklyn. 🙄
I’m not sure residents or political leaders in Stl would stomach the NFL again. But they do still have that 850 million dollar settlement from NFL that hasn’t been used if they chose to use it for a stadium. A new stadium would have to be open air and out in the county where the population centers are and no crime.
That makes perfect sense because they city is becoming dangerous, specifically downtown and the surrounding areas, due to the tiggers committing consistent crime. I would say that a potential ope. air stadium should be built in either Chesterfield, Maryland Heights, Eureka, Town and Country, or even growing St.Charles County
Additionally, Orlando(Fla) and Birmingham(Ala). Both have stadiums and fans.
Neither are NFL class cities.
Birmingham won't get one. Atlanta bout 2 hrs away and Nashville bout 3 hrs away.
NFL is just entertainment now so are the games staged because the refs are terrible or the refs bought to met a quota or are the games fixed.
What about Omaha Nebraska, Jackson Mississippi, San Antonio Texas, Austin Texas, El Paso Texas, Amarillo Texas, Albuquerque New Mexico, Santa Fe New Mexico, Boise Idaho, Bismarck North Dakota, Louisville Kentucky, Charleston West Virginia, Columbia South Carolina, Birmingham Alabama, Montgomery Alabama, Des Moines Iowa, the quad cities Iowa/Illinois, and my final location Cheyenne Wyoming that's my list of where I think they should put teams at
I love your list! We wanna see teams in new spots not same ol towns re-vamping a new team imo
I do conceive ideas of teams like the Omaha/Council Bluffs Tomahawks and the Kentucky Warriors (location - Lexington.)
Some of those cities are too small for major league franchises
You mean well. But you are delusional.
If you want to put a team in the state of kentucky, you need to put it in frankfurt because you could draw from lexington and louisville, but I don't believe it would survive.
San Diego would welcome the NFL, if the ownership builds *their* facilities with *their* money.
San Diego has great year round weather, the population is well educated, it's a tourist destination and has a very large military presence.
We're not desperate here in SD like other cities that are willing to dole out corporate welfare funded by local taxpayers just to placate billionaire owners.
The Chargers were moved because the franchise, which is valued in the billions, wasn't willing to pay *their* way.
Large military in San Diego means higher crime, drug abuse and DUI’s.
Again, San Diego would not build a new stadium to keep the Chargers. They will not build one for an expansion team.
I would like the NFL to have 40 teams, and also create a new championship called the NFL Cup, like the NBA Cup was created, and have the AFC and NFC groups divided so that the teams have opportunities.
I can't see how the NFL can expand given that youth football participation in the U.S. is declining. In the future, the NFL simply won't have the pool to maintain the the talent level of its present teams let alone expanding that talent level for new teams.
Maybe talent from other countries like Canada and Mexico, London might be able to add on fresh players to the league?
Only a certain amount of athletes make it to the NFL, I'd like to see the league expand its pool of players, which would give kids more incentive to participate when they see their odds of making it increase
@@fred-s7e Canada doesn't have enough homegrown talent to support the CFL. There is any talent coming into league from foreign countries because football is almost wholly an American sport. This isn't baseball, basketball, hockey, or soccer.

WHOSE WITH ME
When the NFL expanded in 1993, four cities and five teams were expected to put in bid four two teams.
Nashville and Jacksonville didn’t have their home work completed by the deadline date. Charlotte and two bidding teams from Baltimore were ready at the table.
Charlotte got chosen.
Baltimore was asked to combine their bids and come back in a couple of weeks.
Nashville and Jacksonville were given extensions.
Wait a minute. They were not ready on time and were given an extension?
At the second presentation, Baltimore presented the best package.
But that second team went to Jacksonville.
Nashville was told to wait.
Baltimore was told to use their money to build a library or a museum. They told Baltimore that the NFL was not interested in re-expanding into failed territories. They told Baltimore to go get a team the way others had (you know like what Indianapolis had done five years earlier). Translation: fuxt off Baltimore.
Mr Modell, the owner of the Cleveland Browns was on the selection committee and was very impressed with what Baltimore and Maryland were offering. He went to Cleveland and asked if they could match it. Cleveland basically to Mr Modell to fuxt off.
So Mr Modell made a deal to move his team to Baltimore. After all, it’s exactly what the NFL said to do: go get a team the way other cities had. “BUT NOT THAT ONE!!!”
Everyone was in an uproar over it. Even President Clinton stuck his now in. The NFL promised to replace the Browns. They helped front money to build a new stadium. And you had bad people in Baltimore will be considered the expansion team.
In other words, Baltimore did exactly what the NFL suggested they do and then re-expanded into a failed market of Cleveland.
Then came Houston going to Nashville. And what did they do? They re-expanded into a failed territory of Houston.
Of the five moved or expansion cities involved it this saga, the one the NFL insultingly rejected, Baltimore, is the city with the most successful franchise.
Re-expand to Oakland, St Louis, or San Diego?
The NFL is not in the business of re-expanding into failed markets.
You looked at city size, and not metro area; but most glaringly, you left off San Antonio &/or Austin: San Antonio is bigger; but Austin, 80 miles away, already has the 100,000+ seat Darryl K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium.
You also overlooked the biggest city begging for an NFL franchise: London, with a metro area bigger than NYC at 20+ million, and New Wembley Stadium.
Travel would be a nightmare for both London and his proposed Hawaii team. It's not just other teams traveling to those areas. The major problem is both teams would have EIGHT away games (meaning travel to the mainland) a year. That doesn't include any postseason games, if any.
No doubt the NFL has considered it, but London would be a logistical nightmare for scheduling. It's one thing to host a couple of regular season games. It's another trying to schedule for 8-9 home games and 8-9 road games. Can you switch week to week? What advantage or disadvantage does it gives teams to travel there? Do you have to consider having London play half of the season (8-9 consecutive weeks) there, with teams coming to them, and then the other half of the season on the road in the U.S.? It would be tough.
@@milescoburn1845 That can be fixed with London being in the NFC East, as it’s an easy flight from JFK, PHL, & IAD (but the Cowboys would need to be moved to another division, possibly with Houston & Austin/San Antonio & NOLA.

Things have improved some. But even then,they were lucky to get the land for a baseball stadium for the MLB. Yes it would create an instant rivalry with Seattle, but the fact is that the city won’t approve as there isn’t enough land and property taxes are insanely high.
The history of pro football in St. Louis goes back much longer than the Rams. The St. Louis Cardinals NFL franchise began playing in 1960.
Like Portland and Toronto for it!
TORONTO: YES... Portland: F'Off
@@adellis24why so mad
Columbia SC 😊
I love Toronto, but they have their own football league. NFL is meant to stay in the U.S.
The CFL isn't that popular in Toronto, most of the people that follow football there are Bills fans.
Canada invented Football, it should have a team in the NFL
@adellis24 Canada did not invent football.
YES!!!!!!!!!! IT'S NFL!!! NOT IFL!!!
It would definitely have to change the name! NFL is a trillion dollar business....They will not do that😮😊
Putting a team in London would be ridiculous. I could see Mexico City. But they should stay out of Mexico all together. Albuquerque would do well.
The NFL should get teams in Portland, Oregon, St. Louis, Missouri, San Diego, CA & Orlando, FL.
Portland has a better chance than the other 3.
Umm, 4 Florida teams before Texas even gets their 3rd?
Florida already has 3 NFL teams!
Utah has an NHL team now. The Phoenix Coyotes moved there this season
That's nice. But, so what?
It was the Alameda County board of Supervisors, that ran off the Raiders
Honolulu is two zones from California late games there start st 11am.
Nfl needs to stop trying to look overseas just work on America. Soccer is larger than life, most of world is poor. NFL or tackle football has huge upstart cost of pads and then health insurance. Just to complex, not ever going to gain traction overseas especially over soccer which is simple inexpensive setup. I think NFL is wasting too much money and time overseas. Can promote flag football at local level to promote good fitness, health, scale back rules back to 2000's style football. Stop rigging games or face consequences like nba. If u lengthen the season, then shorten the pre season . Too many injuries i think lack of work ethic, do more scouting based on skill and abilities not being black or aryan master race, not circus genes but actual playing ability and skills NFl will be like 2000's style.
You're right on the money regarding St. Louis. St. Louis should have never lost the Rams, and the success of the BattleHawks proves it. However, I don't see STL returning to the NFL as long as Goodell is commissioner and certain owners are still around.
They should have never lost the NFL Cardinals. The Rams should never have left LA.
Agreed @@bsputnik
@@bsputnik. Exactly and the St Louis fans forget to mention that they stole the Rams from So Cal. St Louis should never get a whiff of an NFL franchise ever, you’ve had two and you lost them and what does that say🤔
St Louis probably never shoulda lost cardinals
@@johnreyes1749it isn't fault of St Louis fans the rams went there for rams as soon as la started flashing money were back in la
I miss the Oilers 😊💯💪🏿✅
I'm Canadian so I don't want or need NFL I have CFL thank for trying but not going to happen
I agree with you we don't need to go to Canada & we don't care about the CFL.
interesting topic, good list, thanks. i like Portland, St Louis, San Antonio, Toronto, Nashville
I'm I the only one that notices that you could build a dome stadium between Edmonton and Calgary like Red deer. Alberta and you would pack it full cuz most folks have money up there and they love the NFL. Big oil country call them the Oilers 😏
Is Red Deer far enough away from the -Eskimos- Elks and Stampeders to not affect them? Would the Canadian government be okay with NFL teams in cities that don't have the CFL like Quebec City and Halifax? Lots of questions to answer.
Brillant. Red Deer!
@@DetroitDriveArenaBaller Red Deer is full of drunks who would rather drink until their livers explode then spend their booze money on a football ticket. Besides, the elks and stampeders would do everything they could including hiring multiple hitmen to keep a NFL team out of Alberta.
As a Canadian.... No.
Focus on getting a Team in Toronto, then maybe Montreal.
I'm from the West but even I understand the economics of that kind of expansion simply wouldn't work at this time or in the foreseeable future.
Alberta, let alone Red Deer, wouldn't crack the TOP 50 potential Markets for NFL expansion.
1) Portland Oregon 2) Salt Lake City UTah 3) Louisville Kentucky
1) Toronto Huskies
