Title: A view on NFL expansion
Post by: rollntider on May 23, 2015, 11:39:25 PM
The portland one is hideous.  But agree Portland, London, LA and LV should get a team. Mexico city ..... maybe.

LA- absolutely not. Theyve blown it time and again. No soup for you.
Vegas- i doubt Vegas would support a team, seriously. As geographically sound as the selection is, i think Vice City is not the spot for an NFL team.
Portland- i think thats as good of a suggestion as there is on this list.
London-no way, unless someone can explain the logistical parameters that are fair.
Mexico City-i just think this is not a great idea. Despite what the article says, im not sure a team would be supported there.
As for the also mentions...
Oklahoma City-can the NCAA and NFL co-exist. I dont know but i wouldnt be too much against it except that i hate everything Oklahoma.
Orlanda-i guess, but i could see the NFL intergrating with Disney and it would be the stupidest thing ever.
Austin-no way a team would fly there, trust me.
San Antonio-worth looking into. The team would be supported and you would drive a wedge between the Texans and Cowboys, but, they would definately be the stepchild for a decade or two.
Montreal- i think that might be the best option for expanding outside the US.

I cast my vote for none of the above, to hell with expansion-I truly don't think the league needs it (or can handle it). But since we're pretty certain Los Angeles is getting a team (I keep hearing relocation, not just a straight up new franchise), I don't know about the name. And I disagree with you Crewe on this city-I think things are a bit different this time than they were the last two times...but I've been wrong before. Ultimately though, I think if there really is expansion coming you can't leave LA off the list.
Also: Ann Arbor Aces > Las Vegas Aces. ;D And I think Vegas gets an NHL franchise before they get an NFL one (although I'd rather see an NHL franchise in Seattle instead of there).

Other than that...ugh, that article hurt my eyes. They came up with some really stupid names for teams and also reminded me that Washington still has an idiotic one.

So we agree on most of them then? 😎
I think youre right LA certainly will get a team but personally i dont think they deserve it, at least not yet.
And i too think expansion on the whole is not good.
Until you can fill stadiums consistently, forget it
