if there was to be a new team

[the snowman]

poll coming....if there was to be a new team in the NFL...what city/area would you like to see it in? oh and what would the team name be?

[-BayAreaJunkie-]

Cheyenne, Wyoming.

[the snowman]

what would the team name be

[belgium49er]

springfield homers :p

[Montanafan4ever]

I voted for Hawaii. The team name could be the Volcanoes.

[rathman53]

L.A. they need a team, its the 4th largest city on the planet!!!!!!!How could they not have FB team....................???Plus it my hometown, north L.A., Artesia!!!!REP.!

[Optimus Moo]

Because they bickered so much among themselves that they lost what became the Houston Texans.

[Samson jR 80818]

Orlando, Florida...

[Wisco N9ner]

Canada! I made a Canadian team in Madden last night, and named it the Ottowa Stampede. We're 8-0 right now, kickin some A. :)

[esanton]

Orlando, Florida...

Ditto. The Orlando Rage only lasted a year :D

[Underrated49ers]

LA is a hellhole. Theyd ont deserve a team, they had 2 and couldnt hold on to either one of them.

Ill say Hawaii, who wouldnt wanna play in those harsh conditions right?

[PA49erFan11]

Does California really need another NFL team? Hawaii would be great but could you imagine the constant jet lag traveling back and forth, especially to and from the east coast?
I'm thinking the logical choice would be America Junior, I mean Canada.

[CJ85]

Canada...

[CJ85]

OttAwa can't hold a CFL team nevermind NFL. Two cities come to mind Toronto and Vancouver

[LVNiner80]

Las Vegas, Nevada
We have a total of 0 Major league teams!

[agent23]

Honolulu Hammers

[49ERSFAN$LIFE]

Toronto

[the snowman]

the Las Vegas Slots Machines sound pretty catchy

[keehner87]

I voted for LA just because it is one of the largest cities in the world but they have a hard time keeping teams so I just don't know.

[Fez]

<-----

[majesstik1]

Alaska...not really, but I think that would be an awesome place to have a bunch of snow storm games.

[krueger70]

How about no more teams!

Every time a league expands, they water down the product! The expansion teams suck up all the free agents, and recieve a great draft position for the first 3 years. Ahead of us!!!

[TheGoldStandard]

If "someplace" can be Toronto, it gets my vote. LA's had its chance(s).

[#1Canadian49er]

T Dot.

[NinerCapHell]

antarctica

the new frozen tundra

[Bdogg]

It will be the LA Jaguars.;)

[mertonhanks36]

:fez:

Call them the: Mexico City Taco Bulls.

[Roaring Back]

Los Angeles Poncherellos

[The OLD Cookie Monster]

Would anyone switch teams if their hometown got an expansion team?

[Bdogg]

Would anyone switch teams if their hometown got an expansion team?

Nope. Of course I live 30 min north of SF;)

[badass316]

Definitely Los Angeles. One of the largest cities in the country has got to be one of the leading candidate for any new team. I can't really see an NFL team being based on foreign soil, especially Mexico. Although I think Toronto would be a slight possibility.

why canada and not mexico?-see we have a huge latin population and the more NFL fans the better....canada already has a football league but mexico and europe can expand the nfl....i mean canadians think hokey>>>>>>>>>>NFL

[superman1]

City of Red Crater Plains, Mars. they would be called aliens.

[Bdogg]

I guess that all depends on who you ask.

[Hobbes2d]

Just move the Chargers to LA. San Diego is an atrocious sports town. Seriously for every home game of any sport there, there's always 1/2 of the crowd full of the opposing team's fans. Sometimes more. The other team shouldn't essentially be playing HOME games in your stadium.

[superman1]

Sometimes more. The other team shouldn't essentially be playing HOME games in your stadium.and to think how bad we are at home to so many when surely the Chargers are a better team at this moment. we suck and I can see why so many fans from other teams would try to get tickets at our home,but not at San Diego. go figure.

[9ernation94]

Anywere in alabama...This state is crazy about college football I could not imagine what it would be like if we had a pro team!

Alabama Rampage!!

[Bdogg]

very true

and to think how bad we are at home to so many when surely the Chargers are a better team at this moment. we suck and I can see why so many fans from other teams would try to get tickets at our home,but not at San Diego. go figure.

Jacksonville is even worse. They made the playoffs and still didn't sell out a home game.:stinker:

[VolleyNiner]

I think the NFL should stay All-American.

There should be a team in Las Vegas

[ninerlicious]

give LA a team already.

[Bdogg]

I think the NFL should stay All-American.

There should be a team in Las Vegas

As much as any fan would love this idea, it will neverhappen. Gambling and sports DO NOT mix. Of course they could always cancel the lines during home games like they do with the local colleges.

[Bdogg]

give LA a team already. Just not ours.

Fixed.

[ninerlicious]

Fixed.

right. most definitely. i'm not an LA hater, but that would SUCK!!!!!!!!!

[superman1]

Anywere in alabama...This state is crazy about college football I could not imagine what it would be like if we had a pro team!

Alabama Rampage!!alabama hurricanes or tornadoes more like it.lol no pun intended as those people have caught hell the last few years.

[Bdogg]

right. most definitely. i'm not an LA hater, but that would SUCK!!!!!!!!!

Agreed.

[TheWiz]

First of all, the league scheduling logistics can't handle 1 or 2 or even 3 new teams. If there is expansion it will require either a severe imbalance with only 2 new teams or adding 4 expansions at once. Otherwise, it's much more likely that teams will move to a new location than the league introducing more expansions.

Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and Juneau are nightmares. Not only does the 2nd 2 lack the population density and range to attract full stadiums, the away schedule and traveling would murder teams. Santa Fe? It took forever for AZ to just build a stadium for the Cardinals. The far SW already has the Chargers and Cardinals and 2 Texas clubs. Not to mention the DEN club. There is little interest or need to satisfy the Santa Fe/Albequerque (sp?) corridor that is vital to sustaining the teams already in place. San Antonio and San Jose are along similar lines.

Mexico and LA are the best options. Overall, the 'extra' travel due to Mexico is forgetable if they get to play in a western or southern conference. But LA wins because it's a massive, much more influential market flooded with entertainment money.

[esanton]

Orlando is still the best choice. :flex:

[49erssre94]

Orlando is still the best choice. :flex:



IT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN

there are plenty of rich people in mexico... especially mexico city. sure there are far more poor, and pretty much a non existent middle class... but believe me, wealthy people exist in mexico and could afford going to games. plus, there are a lot of americans doing business in D.F. not saying it's a great idea, but it's not as far fetched as you're implying.

well...their soccer games sell out so i thik they can afford tickets to a football game and plus...mexicans have alot of pride....and i guarentee that they will show support for their team...plus it could also help their economy....and provide more jobs

[esanton]

Bring back the Orlando Rage baby! :go9ers:

[ninerjeff]

toronto. they already are hosting bills home games

[the snowman]

toronto. they already are hosting bills home games

word...the toranto bill?....or will it be called something else?...hmmm i wonder

[superman1]

well...their soccer games sell out so i thik they can afford tickets to a football game and plus...mexicans have alot of pride....and i guarentee that they will show support for their team...plus it could also help their economy....and provide more jobslook at how cheap their ticket sales are for these games.

[JaketheSnake]

Actually 3, Chargers, Rams and Raiders.

[TheGoldStandard]

toronto. they already are hosting bills home games

And paying something like $200 a ticket for the privilege.

LOL. Superman. I'm a Mexican Soccer buff. And I know that they sell out soccers games on the dime, well the best teams of course. And the rest still bring in a nice chunk of attendance. So that should easily translate to bringing folks to watch an NFL team.

When the 49ers and Tards came to play, most didn't even know the game of football but came to understand it and witness why it's big in the states. So, it's first year of existence should nicely cover up all the seats and it shouldn't be a prob. But that's just my opinion.

[BladeX]

Orlando, Florida.

Orlando Predators.

Buy the AFL team, convert the branding into an NFL franchise you already have the built in brand recognition plus a small but loyal fanbase in one of the fastest growing areas in America. Central Florida would likely be receptive to such a team to add to its growth appeal. The tax advantages are favorable in Florida, the local govt bodies arent that difficult to work with all things considered, the infrastructure is world class as a result of being a premier tourist destination for so long and there's plenty of affordable space to put a stadium. Not that I've given it any thought. :angel:

[LVNiner80]

Exactly! :hoppy:

[Gof the Gij]

LA is the most logical choice. They can easily handle one team.

After LA, Toronto, Portland, Orlando, Mexico City, and Las Vegas make the most sense. They all have the population to support an NFL team.

[49erssre94]

orlando has a hard enough time selling out(or just getting people to show for the home games) for the magic games. Its just hard for me to see orlando bring in a NFL team. I'm not saying i would be agaist it, just highly doubt it. Florida has already 3 teams.

[the snowman]

what about a team in S.Carolina

[Ace Matherton]

1. LA
2. Las Vegas
3. Mexico City

[Willis-052]

Oklahoma plz.

[NinerRider]

San Jose. 9th Largest city in the country.

[the snowman]

San Jose. 9th Largest city in the country.

word?...

[Gof the Gij]

San Jose. 9th Largest city in the country.

True, but I'm not sure the Bay Area could support 3 teams. 2 is just fine, but they're so entrenched already that the third would have a tough time winning over fans.

[49ersFan14]

can somebody please explain to me how adding one team to the nfl would work?

i mean like the divisons?

[the snowman]

take a team and move them....does that answer your Q

[49ersFan14]

oh i thought you guys ment adding a whole new team to the league..
making it 33 teams

[Trap_Star]

Because they bickered so much among themselves that they lost what became the Houston Texans.

yup...the NFL pretty much gave them that 32nd team in a silver platter and they still managed to mess that up.

thanks LA.

[The OLD Cookie Monster]

oh i thought you guys ment adding a whole new team to the league..

The same thing that happened when it was 31 teams.

[DeadlyNiners]
