That period with the MLB strike and the Cowboys dynasty seems about right to me.

For me it was 89/90 when Marty arrived. That’s when KC became a football town almost overnight.

One of the keys to the the NFL dominance is its good for TV but also KC, Green Bay etc. have just as good of a chance as the large metro areas have to win. |
94 during the baseball strike?

A more interesting question IMO is when do we think the NFL took this stratospheric leap to the point where anything it does dwarfs everything else in sports and does it relatively easy…it really has become the only 24/7/365 sport.
I get that football has always been huge but it didn’t used to be like it is now where hell the schedule release will have bigger ratings than playoff games in other sports… The NFL has really figured it out, hell Fantasy Football is more popular than some mainstream sports lol. |
1994. Realized what a joke of a “sport” baseball is during the strike. Whiny, overpaid players and greedy large-market owners unwilling to look at the NFL revenue sharing model that provides a chance for legitimate competition. The the K became an advertising billboard, further expanding how pathetic baseball is, and that the Royals would rarely be competitive, and the owners were simply trying to sell you something other than their product, so they could survive.

This would help the lower revenue teams, i.e. KC Royals from being nothing more than an extended farm league for the high revenue teams. |

My question, how was baseball ever more popular than football in the first place? |
Joe Namath/Super Bowl III.

For decades, the big stars left for big markets as soon as they could to put together teams. Okay LeBron went back to Cleveland after Miami but whatever. And Toronto went all in one year and it worked out. But now a number of small or at least, not traditional big NBA teams, are in the mix. |
