If only there was some sort of European football league....

Give a 3rd team to Texas. San Antonio could handle one.

I really wish they'd bring that back. Give one team to each NFL team and let it be like the minors are for baseball. More jobs for college players who just need time and more training.

They're not going to make football some juggernaut over there no matter how hard they wish it to be so.

Which should be hint that it ain't going to work but like I said there must be some angle of financial gain from continuing to do this because owners don't like losing $$.

Playing an overseas game is one of the requirements of a team that hosts a SB.

Ok spill it, what am I missing... does Charlotte no longer have their NBA team?

If so, I haven't watched an entire NBA game since Jordan left the Wizards, so I could easily be waaay behind the times... but the point was to think of a city big enough to support an NFL team.

This is what I was getting at, but I intentionally left SA out since Texas already has two teams.

The Carolina Panthers play their home games in Charlotte, NC.

ROFL just goes to show how much attention I pay to the Panthers.

But yeah, I think everyone knows the point I was trying to make by now.

Hunt is merely checking off the boxes that he can in order to try and get a SB in KC. He is going to get it down to where the only thing left is the rolling roof. At that point he will get a guarantee within so many years to host a SB. He will use this to leverage the local government to get the rolling roof.

But according to Goodell KC doesn't have enough quality hotels either. Not sure how that would be handled.

Yes. They did.

Depending on where you sit? The people in the lower bowl are paying more this season, iirc.

It has worked and not worked. San Jose is a good market for the NHL because they are the only professional team in San Jose.

San Jose, Nashville, and Tampa Bay have worked. Phoenix, Carolina, and Miami haven't worked and those teams need to move probably.

Luckily there are plenty of places without an NBA team and/or would be hockey friendly like KC, Seattle, Quebec City and Milwaukee.

If playing games over there is a losing proposition now, how is actually having a team over there going to change that? I don't see the TV networks over there paying the kind of money that the American ones do. Where the hell is all this money they think they're going to make going to come from?

You're thinking short term. Getting a team in London and getting a good football base there is worth billions in the future.

Weren't we promised like last years super bowl already? The only condition was we had to build the roof?
