I guess you missed the part where I said it's the reason I left them and a few other states off my list. I personally don't care how big your state is I think there should be a cap of 2 teams at most before a 3rd or even 4th team is awarded.CoachAF said:
????? California has 4 teams, Texas can definitely handle 3. Austin? Since it's only an hour away from San Antonio, I guess it's not as huge a deal, but there's not enough corporate money in Austin to support a pro team on their own. Dell is nice, but there's more corporate money and population in San Antonio. Plus, any team in San Antonio would be well supported by the Austin area as well. Texas has a population of 26 million which is more than all the other states those cities belong to altogether (except Toronto/MC). Come on, Birmingham and Omaha are a joke right? I was born and partially raised in Alabama. NOBODY there wants an NFL team. They have the Tide and the Tigers. There's a reason the state has ZERO pro teams: Low population/low interest. The economy in Omaha and Nebraska as a whole is depressed and has been for some time. There's no way a farming state has the corporate support to run an NFL franchise.
You cant just look at the largest city in a state and say they can have an NFL team. I'll give you Vegas and Mexico City as viable options (I know the NFL has it's eye on Europe too). But San Antonio is a viable location and should have a franchise ahead of most of the cities on your list.
As for Birmingham & Omaha just because you don't agree with it doesn't mean it's a joke the only joke here is you trying to downplay where I think a good place for a football team would be.
Oh and I know quite a few people from Alabama that would love a pro team so next time you try speaking for an entire state simply because you were born there (what a fuk'n joke) maybe you should actually get some facts. And to finish pouring the gasoline on your fire Green Bay would like to say Hi so tell me again how a farming state can't support a NFL Franchise.
