LA, portland, san jose,san antonio, and tulsa or OKC should have one people are football crazed down here and we shown that a pro team here would be good after the hornets came here, i mean there are 86,000 people at OU games and OSU always sells out, theres even a high school game in here that sell 25,000 tickets i KNOW if they stuck a team here it would succeed

Vegas wouldn't last a day with a football team. There'd be too many people getting killed off by points, number of tackles/sacks, penalties. The games would be rigged the fuck up. Owners paying off coaches to lose, refs calling dumbshit penalties, players faking injuries.

its crazy too how cincinatti and cleveland have one but colombus doesnt and columbus is bigger than both of them

The Metro Areas of those cities are both significantly larger than Columbus (not to mention, they are not college football dominated areas).

Cleveland MSA = 2.9 mil
Cincinnati MSA = 1.9 mil
Columbus MSA = 1.5 mil

Columbus would be a terrible place for an NFL team. Not only is it too small and too close to two NFL markets, but I remember walking from my hotel to the stadium for the Washington vs. Ohio State a few years back, and one of the OSU fans came up to me, we had a nice conversation and he said something like "this is our contribution to the world, we are not a pro town, we don't want pro sports, Buckeye football is what we do."

No way, that's laughable. San Jose is part of the San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose metro area, which at a little over 7 mil, is nowhere near big enough to support 3 football teams.

The size of the actual city means absolutely nothing, it's the metro area that counts (b/c the vast majority of the fans at the stadium are not going to be from the central city). In Seattle, Seahawk support actually runs a little deeper on the per capita level in Snohomish and Pierce counties than it does King County.

San Jose has already got two NFL teams.

I feel you on the football crazed part, and I'm not really in a position to call OKC (1 mil metro) and Tulsa (800,000 metro) too small b/c OKC is about to steal my favorite NBA team. I think that could work, similar to the way Green Bay works where the entire state, not just the metro area gets behind the team.

Still, there are a lot of bigger MSAs that don't have teams.

OK after telling people why their ideas were laughable, here are my own. Feel free to laugh at them as I did many of yours.

Largest Metro Statistical Areas (MSAs) in North America w/out NFL:

01) Mexico City, MX (19.2 mil)
02) Los Angeles-Riverside-Orange County, CA (16.3 mil)
03) Toronto, ON (5.1 mil)
04) Montreal, QB (3.6 mil)
05) Portland-Salem, OR-WA (2.2 mil)
06) Vancouver, BC (2.1 mil)
07) Sacramento-Yolo, CA (1.8 mil)
08) Milwaukee-Racine, WI (1.7 mil)
09) Orlando, FL (1.6 mil)
10) San Antonio, TX (1.5 mil)
11) Norfolk-Virginia Beach-Newport News, VA-NC (1.5 mil)
12) Las Vegas, NV-AZ (1.5 mil)
13) Salt Lake City-Ogden, UT (1.3 mil)
14) Greensboro-Winston-Salem-High Point, NC (1.2 mil)
15) Austin-San Marcos, TX (1.2 mil)
16) Providence-Warwick-Fall River, RI (1.1 mil)
17) Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill, NC (1.1 mil)
18) Hartford, CT (1.1 mil)
19) Memphis, TN-AR (1.1 mil)
20) West Palm Beach-Boca Raton, FL (1.1 mil)
21) Rochester, NY (1.1 mil)
22) Grand Rapids-Holland-Muskegon, MI (1.0 mil)
23) Oklahoma City, OK (1.0 mil)
24) Louisville, KY-IN (1.0 mil)
25) Edmonton, AB (1.0 mil)

My Personal Rankings (Economic & Cultural Factors Considered:

01) Los Angeles-Riverside-Orange County, CA
- Duh

02) Toronto, ON
- Canada and close to Buffalo, but too big and similar to America to ignore

03) Norfolk-Virginia Beach-Newport News, VA-NC
- Big, far from DC and football already embedded deeply in Virginia culture

04) Las Vegas, NV-AZ
- Fastest growing MSA in country, people overblow the gambling stuff

05) Oklahoma City, OK
- Football state but small

06) Salt Lake City-Ogden, UT
- Growing fast, recent success of colleges in state show growing momentum

07) Portland-Salem, OR-WA
- 2nd largest American city on this list but too close to Seattle to be higher

08) Mexico City, MX
- That huge population is tempting but obvious problems/logistical nightmares

09) San Antonio, TX
- Football crazy state, also not in college football crazy city

10) Sacramento-Yolo, CA
- Too close to Bay Area teams despite the large population
