Good point about Mexico City having a big altitude difference compared to Denver. And on crime, it has a lower murder rate than several cities with NFL teams.
The stats are completely incorrect, due to the non reporting and recording of a lot of the violence in Mexico City. Mexico City is a different level of violence and crime rate that's not seen in the U.S. Due to The criminals controlling the political landscape of the city.
@@stevenbaldin2957There are more poorer cities in US buddy. The people here lives in a bubble. Travel more and you will see a lot of nice things outside the bubble.
San Jose is large enough for a team, they've got about 2 million people. But, the Niners wouldn't allow a team there. Levis Stadium is about 10 minutes from downtown San Jose
Heard similar situation with Oakland A's in MLB for their stadium, same one Raiders use to be in before heading to Las Vegas. The San Francisco Giants didn't want A's to move to San Jose as read/heard in other comment from other videos that Oakland gave up mutual agreement of some kind about 30 years ago when Oakland wanted Raiders to return or something along those lines and promised new stadium when Raiders were in LA in 1980's-early 1990's. Now A's might follow suite to Vegas, but heard there's some hiccup. As old saying goes "You reap what you sew" and feel sorry for those diehard fans in Oakland. Your city screwed your team in most part (besides ownership so I've heard).
I feel like if the NFL put a San Antonio team they would locate it around San Marcos in between Austin and San Antonio so they have better access to both markets
The bigger problem with teams being located in Europe or even Mexico is would players want to go there to play. It's ok for one game a year but a whole season and all the travel for a player based in Europe that they would have to deal with would turn a lot of players off from signing with them and with Mexico, it's not the safest place with all the drug cartels and would players want to spend a whole season there.
It would be nearly impossible to have a team in Australia or Japan. Even if Australia and Japan had 2 teams a piece in the same division, it's still a 10+ hour flight between Sydney and Tokyo. The flight over the Atlantic is shorter than the Pacific, especially when going over the equator.
In order for a game to broadcast in the US on Sunday it would have to be played on Monday in Australia or Japan so expanding to those countries is a non starter.
It wouldn’t make sense to have it in Sydney. Melbourne has the biggest population and holds all the big sport events such as the F1, grand slams ect, mcg has a capacity of over 100k and getting renovated to hold more including a hotel. Melbourne would be a much better choice than Sydney
@@themasonexperience6844 if there was gonna be any expansion in Australia they'd add at least 2 teams at once just to aid in logistics, so both Sydney and Melbourne would get one.

Easily. The Ram's owner left St. Louis "Because I couldn't get a good deal with them for a new stadium, with public funds. He goes to LA and privately builds a 2 Billion dollar stadium, still can't draw as strong as the team did in St. Louis. Yes, the stadium is usually full, but there are usual more fans of the opponents than the host team. I've seen several Raider at Charger games. Being in the same division it's an annual game. Every game I've seen there(I watch NFLRedzone), has always been far more black and white than powder blue and white. In 2021, there were far more Raider fans than Charger fans. Hell, when the Chargers were in that smaller stadium after moving to LA before the new one was finished they hosted the Packers in 2019 and there were few Charger fans there It was mostly Packer fans, who always travel well. The Rams have had the same exact problem. There are often more fans of the visiting team than Rams fans, and they won the Super Bowl recently.
@@CulturePROVOCATEUR St. Louis was ready and willing to get the Rams a new stadium, Stan Kroenke chose to chase the pot of gold in Los Angeles instead, St. Louis did nothing wrong
For Mexico another idea could be one of the coastal cities that gets cruise ships in. I could see people booking a cruise to Cozumel for example for a home game considering its probably not any more than a plane ticket there would be.
How is San Jose too small? They have a decreasing population but they are still over 900,000. It’s the largest city in the Bay Area. I would HATE another team in the Bay Market because it would be stupid but SJ is certainly not too small.
@@tmghui888 While they can, I’m not a fan of multiple teams in one market. I make an exception for New York City as long as 1 team is based in New Jersey but otherwise I don’t support it.
What's not mentioned and surprised no one has picked up/realized is that when I watch these NFL expansion video; THERE USE TO BE NFL in Europe when I grew up back in the 1990's called NFL EUROPE from recollection and probably in the 1980's when doing research unless mistaken. Yes, there use to be a NFL Eupoe team in London (Monarchs) back then think before became Scottish Claymores during tenure. Unfortunately, currency/monetary issues (Euopean Union), maybe fan base, other issues. So NFL games in Eurpoe is nothing new in some way, just bringing it back. There were teams in Germany, Netherlands and Spain before disbanded about 20+ years ago/turn of 21st Century.
I would like you to make a proposal for the NFL to have 8 new teams with a total of 40 teams. These are the candidates: St. Louis, (Missouri), Portland, (Oregon), San Antonio, (Texas), Salt Lake City, (Utah) ), London,UK🇬🇧, Frankfurt, Germany 🇩🇪, Barcelona, Spain 🇪🇸 and Paris, France 🇫🇷 because he wants to have 4 European teams
I disagree on Portland even as a Portland resident. We don't have any more space to build and trying to renovate Providence Park will be a logistical nightmare.
Problem with Salt Lake is the huge concentration of Mormons in the area. Many Mormons stay home on Sundays (rather than doing something like going to a football game), because that is a holy day to them. The Jazz get around that problem by asking the NBA not to schedule them for home games on Sundays. But that isn't realistic for an NFL team.
Obviously, 1 European expansion team to compete with all the 32 U.S teams wouldn't work very long with all the work and money that goes into that including division restructuring, because the number of teams would be uneven. They would have to create a 4 team Euro division just to make that project work. That's probably the only way any European expansion would happen. But still, its probably gonna be a money pit.
I don’t think having two teams in the same country for a European division would make sense either. It could be something like one in London, a team in Berlin/Munich/Frankfurt (one of those cities in Germany would most certainly get a team), Paris, and Barcelona. If Barcelona doesn’t work then maybe Rome or Dublin could be a replacement option. As far as the German team goes, I feel like Berlin would be the most fitting but I wouldn’t be against Munich or Frankfurt either
Europe will never work. The time difference would be a disaster for visiting teams. I've lived in England, twice, France, and S. Korea. I've traveled to Europe several other times and while jet lag doesn't bother me due to all my travels, others can be very fatigued. Teams would land in London, or Germany, and would only have a day or two to recover. It's just not possible. San Jose is, quite literally, blocks from the Niners' stadium. They'd never ever allow it and they'd have a very powerful voice in that.
I agree, if the NFL expands they'll likely expand to St. Louis, maybe San Antonio, maybe Salt Lake City, and maybe Portland or San Diego (although I suspect that what's most likely would be the Chargers going back to San Diego).
Wembley Stadium isn’t the main choice for NFL In London. It’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium which was built with an NFL field underneath the premier league soccer field.
It seems like a bit of a stretch to say that people from all over Canada would attend NFL games in Toronto. Canada is huge, and many Canadians live really far from Toronto.
@@grimreaper7811 Yeah and that is about the percentage of Canadians that would possibly attend NFL games in Toronto. That is much less than all of Canada. I think people in Hamilton would be more interested in attending Bills games, and people in Vancouver would be more interested in attending Seahawks games.
@@grimreaper7811 That may be true but do you really think someone in Vancouver is going to go all the way to Toronto just for a football game when they can make a short trip down to Seattle to see a game.
@@ken12603 Of course not, but Toronto would have the third largest population base in the NFL. It would not need to draw from anywhere else to support it.
Do you know anything at all about San Jose? You say it is "too small"?!!!! It is the largest city in the northern California, and the 10th most populous city in the nation. It is also very wealthy. The reason they probably won't get a team is that the 49ers stadium in Santa Clara is less than 10 miles away from downtown San Jose.
At first, I was thinking no way for Salt Lake City...nobody would show up on Sundays. But then realized how much the city has grown, how much money they have, and how much of the population is not a part of "the church" these days. They'd sell out easy. Plus, an outdoor stadium there would be dope... plenty of potential for some great winter games. I think SLC would be more suportive of an an NFL team than they would an MLB team.
Jacksonville is playing ONE HOME GAME in London vs Atlanta in week 4. Week 5 Buffalo is playing ONE HOME GAME in London vs Jacksonville. The Jags will obviously stay overseas during to period with the back to back London games. Hopefully that will stop the "JAX two home games to London" misinformation
@@jibbjabb43 I totally disagree. There's a big difference between one home game versus two in London. I'm a Jags fan in Jax right now; no one here is upset about back to back home/away games in London. It would be an uproar if it was two Jaguar home games in London. Ask the fans if hypothetically losing a second home game to London would be "irrelevant" or not.
There isn't enough talent now to field 32 competitive teams. I don't see an expansion being viable. The quality of game play will suffer. The Chargers should go back to San Diego, but every other team should stay put.
Build a new Stadium in San Marcos ( small city Between San Antonio and Austin) Then play 4 home games in the Alamodome, 4 in DKR while its being built. Lastly give the team a neutral name like " The Texas Outlaws" so both cities can claim the team.
Columbus not on the list makes sense since there won't be a football team held in higher regard than THE Ohio State Buckeyes. Now, maybe I and others with my opinion could be convinced if say the Browns had to play in Columbus for 2 years while their stadium was being re-built. The city's pro allegiances vary within Franklin County, OH (West: Colts, North: Browns, East: Steelers, South: Bengals). It would be very hard for a pro team to gain ground there. As for Austin, it's like Columbus...football allegiances are with the Texas Longhorns. That and if San Antonio gets a team then that entire region would be accounted for (I see many analyses that fail to account for just how close those two cities are). Austin is more of a soccer city anyhow.
Thing is any team outside of the untied states will be very hard because of travel for visting fans and then the money the team needs to pay it's workers and players. All of it has to be in US dollars which kills Canada and Mexico. Plus the product now is so watered down expansion would make that even more of an issue. There are only so many nfl caliber players.
As Cleveland Browns fan I believe Canada specially Toronto will be a great location logistically, economically since is a major hub for businesses, and media and has a population of 3 million people in city proper and almost 7 million people in the metro area. Also, Canada and USA are not that different from each other culturally which the jump is kinda easier except for the Québec (french) region. Mexico City and London are another good choices as well.
The only 4 North American cities I can see maybe getting NFL franchises are Orlando, San Antonio, Toronto and Salt Lake. But more realistically, I think 6-8 new teams are coming to Europe.
My picks for the euro division would be London, Germany, Russia, Dublin Ireland, Sydney australia, Paris France, Auckland new Zealand, Spain, Belgium, and Florence Italy. Maybe throw in Rome, south Africa, India, & Greece somewhere if the euro division does well enough.
I'm thinking San Antonio, Providence, Hartford (CT), Portland (OR), Boise ID, Omaha NE, Salt lake city UT, Oklahoma city, Jackson (MS), Birmingham (AL), Roanoke (VA), Columbia (SC), Louisville (KY) St Louis (MO) or Kansas city (KS) to the new NFL franchise team.
People in Toronto didn't show up for the Bills series. Nor do the Argos draw well there. It simply isn't a football area. Put a team in western Canada and it might work well.
I think Toronto if it had a proper stadium for fb would support an NFL team as they support baseball and basketball. Toronto loves to play with US big cities-too cool for Canada. Vancouver might though they didn't support the NBA. Other cities would need new indoor stadiums
I agree that a European Division is more likely than a single NFL team. I could actually see the NFL going more or less straight to 40 - 5 European teams and 3 North American teams. A 4-team division would play 11-12 games in Europe (8-9 home games plus 3 away); a 5-team division would play 12-13 games in Europe (8-9 home games plus 4 away). If relocation is on the table, a division with 6 European teams in a 36 team league may be an option. I don't see any realistic relocation candidates in the short-to-medium term aside from Jacksonville.
I think Europe division should be add 21 weeks 18 (CFL) 20 weeks for NFL for 3 bye weeks and start playing games on Thursday Friday and Sunday Monday and once college get over then play on Thursday Friday Saturday and Sunday Monday have anyone else have issues watching broadcast of CBS where it just goes black out for like two minutes and it’s come back on it even happened on the CBS sports network broadcast too as of this year?
I think before you expand you would need to rearrange the divisions to actually make geographical sense. Miami having to go to New England and Vice versa doesn’t really make a whole lot of sense and if we add two new divisions we could have room to play around. I think realigned Davison’s would look like this: NFC East: Lions, Giants, Eagles, and Commanders, NFC North: Bears, Vikings, Packers, and St. Louis (Chicago and St Louis have an actual historical rivalry so it’s kind of natural), NFC South: Bucs, Panthers, New Orleans, and Atlanta, NFC South West: Dallas, Oklahoma City, San Antonio, and Arizona ( OKC is a massive football market with College ball and the thunder proved a professional franchise could thrive there, and San Antonio would give a good Texan rival to the cowboys), NFC West: Seattle, San Fran, Rams, and Salt Lake or Portland ( I’ll let you pick). AFC East: Patriots, Jets, Bills, and Ravens, AFC North: Cleveland, Pittsburgh, The colts, and bengals, AFC South: Tennessee, Miami, Jags, and Houston, AFC West: Kansas City, Denver, Raiders, and the chargers, AFC Euro: Amsterdam FC, Munich FC, London FC, and Barcelona FC. All of those European cities had pretty good attendance when the European league was still up and with only one team per country it would open a bigger market. The Munich and London games are starting to prove that people will come out and watch Football in Europe and in 10 or 15 years I can see expansion being viable.
Back in 85 when the NBA Kansas City Kings moved to Sacramento, they started to build a dual purpose stadium next to ARCO Arena to lure the then Los Angeles Raiders and the Oakland A's to Sacramento. But alas the stadium was never completed. I hear if you go near the area you can see the unfinished stadium.
I see louisville, columbus, san antonio, austin, ok city (but it's only because of where it's located in relation to st louis and kc), san diego or (not and) salt lake city, st louis, and MEMPHIS!
Oklahoma City and Salt Lake City would be a great place to for an NFL expansion team. When the Oakland Raiders were looking to re locate, Oklahoma City was one of their top picks. Its just at that time OKC did not have the land to put it in the downtown area. Salt Lake City is getting the Phoenix Coytotes of the NHL and problably going to play in the same arena the Utah Jazz play in. But I think a great spot for the NFL would be Orlando. People from all over the world fly to Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando and the main competition is the Orlando Magic but no other professional sports team there. That would be a great spot for the NFL
The NFL should do a 12 team round robin tournament in Australia call it the NFL Australian championship & do the same thing in japan you could even do it in Europe as well call it the European NFL championships just a tour before the regular season that is the only way I think that you could expand worldwide
I could see Columbus, Ohio getting a team. It is bigger than Cleveland and Cincinnati combined, they have to compete with the Ohio State fans, and I can see Chicago and Houston getting a second team, and Brooklyn, New York. El Paso Texas, Birmingham Alabama, Omaha, Nebraska, Memphis Tennessee. Norfolk Virginia.
Only way for Toronto to get a nfl team is a cfl-nfl full merger. Much like the nhl-wha you only take 4-6 teams. Toronto, Montreal, calgary/Edmonton all need new stadiums for the nfl. Vancouver with bc is the only nfl ready market. If you add Edmonton and calgary then you also throw in Ottawa
CFL would have to merge. If any teams moved into Canada it would be dead. The NFL said it would not expand to Canada because of the CLF. A merger makes some sense for the NFL.
@@LeCommieBoi So we play NFL-minor, high school, college and pro. Whether it's a better game or not is a personal preference. I would think though that if teams in these cities can't support the CFL, they won't support the NFL in December and January (excepting Vancouver maybe)
@@darinfrandsen3393 Currently there are 3 cities that could host a NFL franchise in Canada: Toronto, Montreal and maybe Vancouver. Out of the 3: - Only 2 have NFL-worthy stadiums: Toronto's Rogers Center (53K - smallest in the NFL) and Montreal's Stade Olympique (66K). - Both Vancouver and Toronto are close to already established markets (Seattle and Buffalo respectiely). - Montreal and, as far as I know Vancouver have no potential ownership. - Montreal is in Quebec, which means french, which means less players would be likely to go play there. - Finally, Vancouver has the most favorable climate, although this argument is negated by the fact that both the Rogers Center and the Stade Olympique have roofs (Rogers's roof being retractable, while the Stade is essentially a dome). As we can see, no city checks all the boxes. EDIT: I was wrong about Vancouver not having a stadium for the NFL, as I remembered BC Place (54K) exists. It does has a roof, but the stadium is still considered open-air. However it would rank similarly to Toronto capacity-wise.
Why do you hate San Antonio, my guy? San Antonio works better than Austin because you can’t have an NFL team and a D1 top tier college football program. It won’t work, my guy. Please reconsider and make a new video. San Antonio is next!!!
Jerry Jones will never vote for expansion in San Antonio and the Alamodome does not meet league standards. But the bigger issue is insufficient depth of corporate support. This is also true in SLC, Sacramento, and Portland. Hartford has no hope for funding a stadium and territorial issues with New England and NY. Orlando and St Louis are the only possibilities in the Lower 48 IF they build new stadiums.
oklahoma city def could because of oklahoma football. I mean were talking about a whole state that will be the fanbase for that Oklahoma team. I also like any of the other midwest spots. St.Louis, Iowa, Nebraska. All these states will rally behind that one team so money will be there. I just think weather is so crazy that people would be nervous. I like Utah as well
If it is its only because they don't have their own squad. Its kind of the situation where you rally behind something close because you have nothing. If they had their own team those cowboy fans would become their pro Oklahoma team fans. Would be a big rivalry game as well. Its just opinion but I would love to see a pro Oklahoma team. Its just weather for me man. Im not a big fan of tornadoes @@wiggz2254
Mexico City being more unlikely than London? The NFL avoids Hawaii because of the time zone and travel. I agree that Mexico City is unlikely but I don’t think it’s more unlikely that any where in Europe. In baseball, the Padres are viewed as a surrogate for Mexico. Perhaps another city by the boarders could have a similar function.
Alright expansion doesn't make sense unless they make 2 four team divisions, so it would take some time and this would be my list. NFC Midwest: • Iowa (Owls, Weasels, Whitetails, Wendigos) • Louisville (Jockeys, Trotters, Saddlers, Thoroughbreds, Appaloosas) • St. LOUIS (Archers, Snappers, Journeyman, Strummers) • Oklahoma City (Homesteaders, Prairiewolves, Quillpigs, Standards) AFC Pacific: • New Mexico (Martians, Visitors, Thunderbirds, Buzzards, Crows, Skinwalkers) • Portland (Loggers, Leathertails, Chippers, Lumberjacks) • Hawaii (Hightides, Hammerheads, Humpbacks, Eruptors) • Salt Lake City (Sickleclaws, Stingers, Skinwalkers, Prehistorics, Buttes)
No way Dallas and Houston allow another team into Texas. JJ is one of the most powerful owners. Canada is out for the NFL they have said they would not expand to Canada because of the CFL I believe there is still an agreement in place not to expand to Canada. I don’t see any international expansion. Logistics would be too complicated. Teams in Mexico and Canada also don’t work for the simple reason of currency exchange and taxes. I don’t see NFL expansion anytime soon.
My suggestions for NFL expansion: (Order of in which I come up w/ it) As he said: Oakland (Seemed like a passionate fanbase for the Raiders give them a team) St Louis (Gateway) Toronto (Canadá Expansion, CFL merger? 😮) Mexico City (Viva Mexico) Salt Lake City (Idk about this one I think it’s close to Denver sorry if I’m wrong I have not looked at a map in a while) San Diego (Same as Salt Lake City again sorry if I’m wrong I have not looked at a map in a fat minute) Vancouver (Canadians) Oklahoma City (Good to fill in the NFL gaps) Sacramento (idk about this one, isn’t California getting a little crowded?) My own ones: Montreal (I think he said this one) Winnipeg (Canadians) Edmonton/Calgary (Canada) Portland (why not?) Des Moines/Omaha (Fill in the gaps) Boise (why not?)
San Antonio is growing just as fast as Austin. Austin’s not that fast of a growing city compared to the Other Texas cities and Austin has neither the space or infrastructure nor market to support another team
I think he was referring to metro region, in which case both are growing equally. But you're right San Antonio is growing way faster than Austin right now. IDK what he was referring to?
No one goes to sporting events in Sydney it would be Melbourne if anything. Besides the travel it would be our summer. Wouldn’t be competing with our footy or rugby codes it would be competing against cricket.
If I'm the NFL I'd really want a good offer from Vancouver or Portland just because of location. Also still think you can do 3 European teams and divisions of 3.
Keep Padded Rugby, excuse me, American Football in Burgerland. Rugby is better and American Football looks like a joke in comparison with it's constant huddles after plays, coaches challenges, inconsistent rules and referring that changes constantly, and endless commercial break marathons.
More than 32 teams are too many teams even for the NFL . Europe its too far and they can have their own league . They just need more love for this game .Japan and Australia are even further. So what's left for the future ? a North America summer league CFL + XFL + USFL and in the future Mexico, a North America Bowl sounds interesting at least to me.
Having an NFL team abroad, other than Canada i.e. Toronto, poses significant travel and living conditions upon the entire league. A team representing Mexico City, would probably be better to be based out of Texas, Arizona, or California. A team from Australia or Japan, should realistically live in California. European teams should live in New York City. The first NFL team from California were the Los Angeles Bulldogs. During their one season in the NFL, they stayed on the road for the entire season. Travel from the East Coast back to LA and back to the East Coast by train during one week was not feasible. A more feasible option would seem to expand to at least four teams in Europe. Two in the UK, and two in Germany. Or three in the UK. Or even four in the UK. And each week two of them could play in the UK and two of them can travel to the United States. Of course, adding four teams at once raises the question of diluting the talent pool.
I think there is a demand for professional Football in all of these cities, but NFL level? Nah, they aren't ready for it just yet. Would like to see almost a similar thing to the NHL, where the Canadian league expands down south to whichever markets aren't currently adequately served. It would present at least an outside challenge to the NFL, and Quebec would give Canada a 10th team. The Grey Cup could become professional football's Stanley Cup. Let it cook for long enough.
Missoula is way to small to support an NFL team and only Vancouver has a city with a stadium that could support the NFL in Canada not to mention other problems with coming to Canada. Fans would support it though
With the bears moving to the burbs. A second team in Chicago! (I’ve got my pipe dream of a jags move with Kahn throwing money into a soldier Field rebuild)
Good point about Mexico City having a big altitude difference compared to Denver. And on crime, it has a lower murder rate than several cities with NFL teams.
The stats are completely incorrect, due to the non reporting and recording of a lot of the violence in Mexico City. Mexico City is a different level of violence and crime rate that's not seen in the U.S. Due to The criminals controlling the political landscape of the city.

The NFL pretty much owes St. Louis a franchise. So, I would say St. Louis along with San Antonio/Austin makes the most sense.

Jerry would veto San Antonio so fast xD
They'd get more than enough votes for the city if expansion was on the table.
For Mexico another idea could be one of the coastal cities that gets cruise ships in. I could see people booking a cruise to Cozumel for example for a home game considering its probably not any more than a plane ticket there would be.

I disagree on Portland even as a Portland resident. We don't have any more space to build and trying to renovate Providence Park will be a logistical nightmare.
I'm going Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Portland, Salt Lake City, St Louis, Orlando, Hartford, San Antonio
Problem with Salt Lake is the huge concentration of Mormons in the area. Many Mormons stay home on Sundays (rather than doing something like going to a football game), because that is a holy day to them. The Jazz get around that problem by asking the NBA not to schedule them for home games on Sundays. But that isn't realistic for an NFL team.
I think Mexico City is more likely than you give it credit for. Altitude isn't as much as an issue as it would be for Baseball, for example
Obviously, 1 European expansion team to compete with all the 32 U.S teams wouldn't work very long with all the work and money that goes into that including division restructuring, because the number of teams would be uneven. They would have to create a 4 team Euro division just to make that project work. That's probably the only way any European expansion would happen. But still, its probably gonna be a money pit.
I don’t think having two teams in the same country for a European division would make sense either. It could be something like one in London, a team in Berlin/Munich/Frankfurt (one of those cities in Germany would most certainly get a team), Paris, and Barcelona. If Barcelona doesn’t work then maybe Rome or Dublin could be a replacement option. As far as the German team goes, I feel like Berlin would be the most fitting but I wouldn’t be against Munich or Frankfurt either
Europe will never work. The time difference would be a disaster for visiting teams. I've lived in England, twice, France, and S. Korea. I've traveled to Europe several other times and while jet lag doesn't bother me due to all my travels, others can be very fatigued. Teams would land in London, or Germany, and would only have a day or two to recover. It's just not possible.
San Jose is, quite literally, blocks from the Niners' stadium. They'd never ever allow it and they'd have a very powerful voice in that.
49ers are in Santa Clara so San Jose is not an option.
Omaha NE would be pretty cool
For those teams you mentioned outside of North America...that is gonna be WAY too hard on the travel time/jet lag ya know!
facts there gonna want to comeback to America
I agree, if the NFL expands they'll likely expand to St. Louis, maybe San Antonio, maybe Salt Lake City, and maybe Portland or San Diego (although I suspect that what's most likely would be the Chargers going back to San Diego).
The NFL Europe Division:
London Monarchs
London Knights
Munich Firebirds
Barcelona Dragons
Wembley Stadium isn’t the main choice for NFL In London. It’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium which was built with an NFL field underneath the premier league soccer field.
It seems like a bit of a stretch to say that people from all over Canada would attend NFL games in Toronto. Canada is huge, and many Canadians live really far from Toronto.
over 25% of Canada's population lives around the Toronto area.
@@grimreaper7811 Yeah and that is about the percentage of Canadians that would possibly attend NFL games in Toronto. That is much less than all of Canada. I think people in Hamilton would be more interested in attending Bills games, and people in Vancouver would be more interested in attending Seahawks games.
@@grimreaper7811 That may be true but do you really think someone in Vancouver is going to go all the way to Toronto just for a football game when they can make a short trip down to Seattle to see a game.
@@ken12603 Of course not, but Toronto would have the third largest population base in the NFL. It would not need to draw from anywhere else to support it.
@@grimreaper7811 New York, Chicago, LA, Dallas and Houston all have bigger fan bases (ie populations)
Do you know anything at all about San Jose? You say it is "too small"?!!!! It is the largest city in the northern California, and the 10th most populous city in the nation. It is also very wealthy. The reason they probably won't get a team is that the 49ers stadium in Santa Clara is less than 10 miles away from downtown San Jose.
The Tottenham Hotspur’s stadium got an NFL £45 million renovation, not Wembley.
At first, I was thinking no way for Salt Lake City...nobody would show up on Sundays. But then realized how much the city has grown, how much money they have, and how much of the population is not a part of "the church" these days. They'd sell out easy. Plus, an outdoor stadium there would be dope... plenty of potential for some great winter games. I think SLC would be more suportive of an an NFL team than they would an MLB team.
Considering austin but not san antonio makes ZERO sense
Jacksonville is playing ONE HOME GAME in London vs Atlanta in week 4. Week 5 Buffalo is playing ONE HOME GAME in London vs Jacksonville. The Jags will obviously stay overseas during to period with the back to back London games. Hopefully that will stop the "JAX two home games to London" misinformation
The number of home games specifically is kind of irrelevant though, when the idea they're flirting with is back to back weeks there.
@@jibbjabb43 I totally disagree. There's a big difference between one home game versus two in London. I'm a Jags fan in Jax right now; no one here is upset about back to back home/away games in London. It would be an uproar if it was two Jaguar home games in London. Ask the fans if hypothetically losing a second home game to London would be "irrelevant" or not.
There isn't enough talent now to field 32 competitive teams. I don't see an expansion being viable. The quality of game play will suffer.
The Chargers should go back to San Diego, but every other team should stay put.
Build a new Stadium in San Marcos ( small city Between San Antonio and Austin)
Then play 4 home games in the Alamodome, 4 in DKR while its being built.
Lastly give the team a neutral name like " The Texas Outlaws" so both cities can claim the team.
I'm surprised Birmingham and Albuquerque aren't on the list of 20
Columbus not on the list makes sense since there won't be a football team held in higher regard than THE Ohio State Buckeyes. Now, maybe I and others with my opinion could be convinced if say the Browns had to play in Columbus for 2 years while their stadium was being re-built. The city's pro allegiances vary within Franklin County, OH (West: Colts, North: Browns, East: Steelers, South: Bengals). It would be very hard for a pro team to gain ground there. As for Austin, it's like Columbus...football allegiances are with the Texas Longhorns. That and if San Antonio gets a team then that entire region would be accounted for (I see many analyses that fail to account for just how close those two cities are). Austin is more of a soccer city anyhow.
That's the reason why osu is good as they are only osu matters in Ohio
Thing is any team outside of the untied states will be very hard because of travel for visting fans and then the money the team needs to pay it's workers and players. All of it has to be in US dollars which kills Canada and Mexico. Plus the product now is so watered down expansion would make that even more of an issue. There are only so many nfl caliber players.
The currency exchange makes a Canada team very unlikely. Other reasons for no Canada team.
I meant the CFL sorry for the typo
As Cleveland Browns fan I believe Canada specially Toronto will be a great location logistically, economically since is a major hub for businesses, and media and has a population of 3 million people in city proper and almost 7 million people in the metro area. Also, Canada and USA are not that different from each other culturally which the jump is kinda easier except for the Québec (french) region. Mexico City and London are another good choices as well.
The only 4 North American cities I can see maybe getting NFL franchises are Orlando, San Antonio, Toronto and Salt Lake.
But more realistically, I think 6-8 new teams are coming to Europe.
Why Toronto? Their own CFL team does not get enough fans at their games.
@@wiggz2254 Toronto is likely but won't happen.
Montreal and Quebec has a huge highschool/university football tradition. Vancover would give you another west coast option.
My picks for the euro division would be London, Germany, Russia, Dublin Ireland, Sydney australia, Paris France, Auckland new Zealand, Spain, Belgium, and Florence Italy. Maybe throw in Rome, south Africa, India, & Greece somewhere if the euro division does well enough.
I'm thinking San Antonio, Providence, Hartford (CT), Portland (OR), Boise ID, Omaha NE, Salt lake city UT, Oklahoma city, Jackson (MS), Birmingham (AL), Roanoke (VA),
Columbia (SC), Louisville (KY) St Louis (MO) or Kansas city (KS) to the new NFL franchise team.
Kansas City… you mean like the chiefs?
12:16 idk why San Jose is on here. The 49ers stadium is basically in San Jose
I would see NFL expansion in Louisville, Columbus, Ohio, San Antonio, and Birmingham, Alabama
I doubt there would ever be 3 NFL teams in Ohio and Louisville is too close to Indianapolis and Cincinnati for that to happen.
Isn't Kentucky and Alabama too poor to support a NFL team including the NBA MLB and NHL?
@@albertsancho5909 I could see Louisville with an NBA team because they do have a state of the art arena there.
@@dvferyance Would the Louisville Cardinals allow it?
@@albertsancho5909 You would have to ask them.
St. Louis has already lost TWO teams - The Cardinals after only 28 years there, and The Rams after a mere 21 years in Saint Louie.
they werent expansion tho.....
@@drpeppers59 -- Doesn't matter; St. Louis can't hold onto an NFL team, already losing 2 of them. No need to give them a 3rd team.
Players would refuse to live overseas or in Mexico. Canada would work
People in Toronto didn't show up for the Bills series. Nor do the Argos draw well there. It simply isn't a football area. Put a team in western Canada and it might work well.
I think Toronto if it had a proper stadium for fb would support an NFL team as they support baseball and basketball. Toronto loves to play with US big cities-too cool for Canada. Vancouver might though they didn't support the NBA. Other cities would need new indoor stadiums
Birmingham Alabama needs one..
I agree that a European Division is more likely than a single NFL team. I could actually see the NFL going more or less straight to 40 - 5 European teams and 3 North American teams. A 4-team division would play 11-12 games in Europe (8-9 home games plus 3 away); a 5-team division would play 12-13 games in Europe (8-9 home games plus 4 away).
If relocation is on the table, a division with 6 European teams in a 36 team league may be an option. I don't see any realistic relocation candidates in the short-to-medium term aside from Jacksonville.
You can do 36 teams and 3 in Europe with 3 teams division. Playoffs aside, you could make that work pretty easily.
I think Europe division should be add 21 weeks 18 (CFL) 20 weeks for NFL for 3 bye weeks and start playing games on Thursday Friday and Sunday Monday and once college get over then play on Thursday Friday Saturday and Sunday Monday have anyone else have issues watching broadcast of CBS where it just goes black out for like two minutes and it’s come back on it even happened on the CBS sports network broadcast too as of this year?
I think before you expand you would need to rearrange the divisions to actually make geographical sense. Miami having to go to New England and Vice versa doesn’t really make a whole lot of sense and if we add two new divisions we could have room to play around.
I think realigned Davison’s would look like this: NFC East: Lions, Giants, Eagles, and Commanders, NFC North: Bears, Vikings, Packers, and St. Louis (Chicago and St Louis have an actual historical rivalry so it’s kind of natural), NFC South: Bucs, Panthers, New Orleans, and Atlanta, NFC South West: Dallas, Oklahoma City, San Antonio, and Arizona ( OKC is a massive football market with College ball and the thunder proved a professional franchise could thrive there, and San Antonio would give a good Texan rival to the cowboys), NFC West: Seattle, San Fran, Rams, and Salt Lake or Portland ( I’ll let you pick).
AFC East: Patriots, Jets, Bills, and Ravens, AFC North: Cleveland, Pittsburgh, The colts, and bengals, AFC South: Tennessee, Miami, Jags, and Houston, AFC West: Kansas City, Denver, Raiders, and the chargers, AFC Euro: Amsterdam FC, Munich FC, London FC, and Barcelona FC. All of those European cities had pretty good attendance when the European league was still up and with only one team per country it would open a bigger market. The Munich and London games are starting to prove that people will come out and watch Football in Europe and in 10 or 15 years I can see expansion being viable.
I don't see Salt Lake City, with the whole sabbath on Sunday thing would make it difficult.
Back in 85 when the NBA Kansas City Kings moved to Sacramento, they started to build a dual purpose stadium next to ARCO Arena to lure the then Los Angeles Raiders and the Oakland A's to Sacramento. But alas the stadium was never completed. I hear if you go near the area you can see the unfinished stadium.
I see louisville, columbus, san antonio, austin, ok city (but it's only because of where it's located in relation to st louis and kc), san diego or (not and) salt lake city, st louis, and MEMPHIS!
There already is an NFL team in San Jose lol
Oklahoma City and Salt Lake City would be a great place to for an NFL expansion team. When the Oakland Raiders were looking to re locate, Oklahoma City was one of their top picks. Its just at that time OKC did not have the land to put it in the downtown area. Salt Lake City is getting the Phoenix Coytotes of the NHL and problably going to play in the same arena the Utah Jazz play in. But I think a great spot for the NFL would be Orlando. People from all over the world fly to Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando and the main competition is the Orlando Magic but no other professional sports team there. That would be a great spot for the NFL
The NFL should do a 12 team round robin tournament in Australia call it the NFL Australian championship & do the same thing in japan you could even do it in Europe as well call it the European NFL championships just a tour before the regular season that is the only way I think that you could expand worldwide
I could see Columbus, Ohio getting a team. It is bigger than Cleveland and Cincinnati combined, they have to compete with the Ohio State fans, and I can see Chicago and Houston getting a second team, and Brooklyn, New York. El Paso Texas, Birmingham Alabama, Omaha, Nebraska, Memphis Tennessee. Norfolk Virginia.
I can see Dallas getting a second team long before Houston or Chicago. Especially Houston
Only way for Toronto to get a nfl team is a cfl-nfl full merger. Much like the nhl-wha you only take 4-6 teams. Toronto, Montreal, calgary/Edmonton all need new stadiums for the nfl. Vancouver with bc is the only nfl ready market. If you add Edmonton and calgary then you also throw in Ottawa
CFL would have to merge. If any teams moved into Canada it would be dead. The NFL said it would not expand to Canada because of the CLF. A merger makes some sense for the NFL.
Except its not possible. Canadian football and American football are two different sports. A merger would kill pro canadian football
@@LeCommieBoi So we play NFL-minor, high school, college and pro. Whether it's a better game or not is a personal preference. I would think though that if teams in these cities can't support the CFL, they won't support the NFL in December and January (excepting Vancouver maybe)
@@darinfrandsen3393 Currently there are 3 cities that could host a NFL franchise in Canada: Toronto, Montreal and maybe Vancouver. Out of the 3:
- Only 2 have NFL-worthy stadiums: Toronto's Rogers Center (53K - smallest in the NFL) and Montreal's Stade Olympique (66K).
- Both Vancouver and Toronto are close to already established markets (Seattle and Buffalo respectiely).
- Montreal and, as far as I know Vancouver have no potential ownership.
- Montreal is in Quebec, which means french, which means less players would be likely to go play there.
- Finally, Vancouver has the most favorable climate, although this argument is negated by the fact that both the Rogers Center and the Stade Olympique have roofs (Rogers's roof being retractable, while the Stade is essentially a dome).
As we can see, no city checks all the boxes.
EDIT: I was wrong about Vancouver not having a stadium for the NFL, as I remembered BC Place (54K) exists. It does has a roof, but the stadium is still considered open-air. However it would rank similarly to Toronto capacity-wise.
Some expansion suggestions:
North Korea: Pyongyang Nuclears.
Shelbyville, Kentucky: Shelbyville Moonshines.
New York: Not-the-Giants-or-Jets-ers.
Bruh wtf
Also the Portland Antifa
The 49ers play in the next town over from San Jose
I want a team at Montréal, Toronto, Ottawa, Vancouver
Ottawa is not big enough to support it and would need a big new stadium. Only Vancouver has a stadium that could support the NFL
San Jose already has an NFL team: 49'ers play in Santa Clara... 48 miles away from San Francisco... They're closer to San Jose than to San Francisco💯
NFL includes Beijing expansion team!🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈
Why do you hate San Antonio, my guy?
San Antonio works better than Austin because you can’t have an NFL team and a D1 top tier college football program. It won’t work, my guy. Please reconsider and make a new video. San Antonio is next!!!
What about Eng,ire, Wales and Scotland division
do nfl relocation next
Omaha Nebraska is one I’ve heard thrown around. But I think Utah is th best since they could get fans from the northwest states
Jerry Jones will never vote for expansion in San Antonio and the Alamodome does not meet league standards. But the bigger issue is insufficient depth of corporate support. This is also true in SLC, Sacramento, and Portland. Hartford has no hope for funding a stadium and territorial issues with New England and NY. Orlando and St Louis are the only possibilities in the Lower 48 IF they build new stadiums.
An outdoor stadium in Utah makes no sense. Domes can be used for so many events. Which force you to keep it up to date.
oklahoma city def could because of oklahoma football. I mean were talking about a whole state that will be the fanbase for that Oklahoma team. I also like any of the other midwest spots. St.Louis, Iowa, Nebraska. All these states will rally behind that one team so money will be there. I just think weather is so crazy that people would be nervous. I like Utah as well
I feel like Oklahoma is mostly a cowboys state tho.
If it is its only because they don't have their own squad. Its kind of the situation where you rally behind something close because you have nothing. If they had their own team those cowboy fans would become their pro Oklahoma team fans. Would be a big rivalry game as well. Its just opinion but I would love to see a pro Oklahoma team. Its just weather for me man. Im not a big fan of tornadoes @@wiggz2254
Put an NFL team back to San Diego
Mexico City being more unlikely than London? The NFL avoids Hawaii because of the time zone and travel. I agree that Mexico City is unlikely but I don’t think it’s more unlikely that any where in Europe. In baseball, the Padres are viewed as a surrogate for Mexico. Perhaps another city by the boarders could have a similar function.
NFL have never even played a game in Australia.
Alright expansion doesn't make sense unless they make 2 four team divisions, so it would take some time and this would be my list.
NFC Midwest:
• Iowa (Owls, Weasels, Whitetails, Wendigos)
• Louisville (Jockeys, Trotters, Saddlers, Thoroughbreds, Appaloosas)
• St. LOUIS (Archers, Snappers, Journeyman, Strummers)
• Oklahoma City (Homesteaders, Prairiewolves, Quillpigs, Standards)
AFC Pacific:
• New Mexico (Martians, Visitors, Thunderbirds, Buzzards, Crows, Skinwalkers)
• Portland (Loggers, Leathertails, Chippers, Lumberjacks)
• Hawaii (Hightides, Hammerheads, Humpbacks, Eruptors)
• Salt Lake City (Sickleclaws, Stingers, Skinwalkers, Prehistorics, Buttes)

No way Dallas and Houston allow another team into Texas. JJ is one of the most powerful owners. Canada is out for the NFL they have said they would not expand to Canada because of the CFL I believe there is still an agreement in place not to expand to Canada. I don’t see any international expansion. Logistics would be too complicated. Teams in Mexico and Canada also don’t work for the simple reason of currency exchange and taxes. I don’t see NFL expansion anytime soon.
Dallas has the market and population for it. JJ would probaly have some stake in a second NFL team in DFW
London, San Diego, Mexico City, Berlin , Munich
My suggestions for NFL expansion: (Order of in which I come up w/ it)
As he said:
Oakland (Seemed like a passionate fanbase for the Raiders give them a team)
St Louis (Gateway)
Toronto (Canadá Expansion, CFL merger? 😮)
Mexico City (Viva Mexico)
Salt Lake City (Idk about this one I think it’s close to Denver sorry if I’m wrong I have not looked at a map in a while)
San Diego (Same as Salt Lake City again sorry if I’m wrong I have not looked at a map in a fat minute)
Vancouver (Canadians)
Oklahoma City (Good to fill in the NFL gaps)
Sacramento (idk about this one, isn’t California getting a little crowded?)
My own ones:
Montreal (I think he said this one)
Winnipeg (Canadians)
Edmonton/Calgary (Canada)
Portland (why not?)
Des Moines/Omaha (Fill in the gaps)
Boise (why not?)

No one goes to sporting events in Sydney it would be Melbourne if anything. Besides the travel it would be our summer. Wouldn’t be competing with our footy or rugby codes it would be competing against cricket.
I hope they play some international games in Australia
I agree they are.better off just having their own division of the NFL in Europe and in Mexico. A real legit NFL just their own.
Depressed Ginger. Why are you depressed? 😆
If I'm the NFL I'd really want a good offer from Vancouver or Portland just because of location.
Also still think you can do 3 European teams and divisions of 3.
The only city outside the us that actually makes sense is Toronto and maybe Vancouver
Keep Padded Rugby, excuse me, American Football in Burgerland. Rugby is better and American Football looks like a joke in comparison with it's constant huddles after plays, coaches challenges, inconsistent rules and referring that changes constantly, and endless commercial break marathons.
Lol the forward pass bud … It’s an absolute game changer. I see rugby like most Americans as one big boring ass scrum… 65 yard throw tho😮😮
More than 32 teams are too many teams even for the NFL . Europe its too far and they can have their own league . They just need more love for this game .Japan and Australia are even further. So what's left for the future ? a North America summer league CFL + XFL + USFL and in the future Mexico, a North America Bowl sounds interesting at least to me.
Having an NFL team abroad, other than Canada i.e. Toronto, poses significant travel and living conditions upon the entire league. A team representing Mexico City, would probably be better to be based out of Texas, Arizona, or California. A team from Australia or Japan, should realistically live in California. European teams should live in New York City. The first NFL team from California were the Los Angeles Bulldogs. During their one season in the NFL, they stayed on the road for the entire season. Travel from the East Coast back to LA and back to the East Coast by train during one week was not feasible.
A more feasible option would seem to expand to at least four teams in Europe. Two in the UK, and two in Germany. Or three in the UK. Or even four in the UK. And each week two of them could play in the UK and two of them can travel to the United States. Of course, adding four teams at once raises the question of diluting the talent pool.
NFL Europe Division should be
1. London
2. Paris
3. Barcelona/Madrid
4. Berlin, Frankfurt, or some other German City
I think there is a demand for professional Football in all of these cities, but NFL level? Nah, they aren't ready for it just yet. Would like to see almost a similar thing to the NHL, where the Canadian league expands down south to whichever markets aren't currently adequately served. It would present at least an outside challenge to the NFL, and Quebec would give Canada a 10th team. The Grey Cup could become professional football's Stanley Cup. Let it cook for long enough.
Mexico City, Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary might be viable. Up and coming cities like Salt Lake, Boise, Missoula, Columbus O., Sacramento?
What makes you think Calgary will be viable for an NFL team?
Missoula is way to small to support an NFL team and only Vancouver has a city with a stadium that could support the NFL in Canada not to mention other problems with coming to Canada. Fans would support it though
