Montreal skyline by Marc-Olivier Jodoin pic. It would be interesting to see an NFL team in Montreal, especially with a population of almost 2 million people in the city. With the success of the Alabama Crimson Tide in Tuscaloosa, you might be surprised to see Birmingham here, but we think Birmingham is more deserving of an NFL expansion team. It has a larger population and would still draw in quite the crowd from Tuscaloosa one-hour drive. A nighttime shot of the Louisville skyline that I edited recently.
ThePhotoHour pic. The University of Louisville dominates the sports scene in Louisville, but it has also seen a recent emergence of soccer. Not having any major pro sports teams, the NFL would do well here. Fans are forced to root for nearby teams and would quickly change if they had their own franchise. It might not look like they have a large population, but Salt Lake City is as loyal as they come with their sports teams — just look at the Utah Jazz.
Take in the night views from our 9th floor roof top terrace that overlooks the San Antonio skyline ElTropHotel pic. No one knew how badly the Oklahoma City community needed a professional sports team until the Thunder arrived. Pro Sports Teams: St. Louis is another team we wish never relocated.

Sorry, your blog cannot share posts by email. Not airplane pilots, but riverboat pilots. A nod to St. Louis being parked on the Mississippi River with so much riverboat traffic carrying travelers, trade and commerce.
I thought about Rivermen, but that doesn't really say "NFL" to me. There's also the Steamers, but they need to stay associated with soccer. This would be great acknowledgement to the builders and developers in St. Louis who made so many aircraft over the decades, whether it was with McDonnell Douglas or on the floor of the old St.
Also, names in sports tend to get recycled and the Bombers were once a professional basketball team that pre-dated the Hawks. Louis was built with Catholic roots. You can't miss it's everywhere. It's important to point out that St. Louis is named after the only king of France to be canonized a saint in the church, is the site of the only Vatican authenticated miracle in the Midwestern United States, and the Catholic fraternity for men is the Knights of Columbus.
Also St. If London is going to join the NFL, one would think it would need a European rival, and Frankfurt is less than miles from the English capital. Plus, Frankfurt has a long-standing football culture, which dates back to the World League of American Football in the early s. At that time, there were 2, American football clubs in Europe playing the game from juniors through to adults.
On top of that, Barcelona has more than 1. That sounds like a fun job. Berlin was both a founding and sustaining member of NFL Europe, has more than 3. Toronto courted the Buffalo Bills during the s decade, but that bid fell apart when the Bills were sold to the Pegulas in The city has 1. Many of those fans still are till stinging from the Expos' departure in and feel they deserve another major professional team.
Edmonton has won the second-most Grey Cup championships in league history 14 behind the Toronto Argonauts I know I can find something to do if I want to have fun. If the NFL is going to Edmonton, it also would have to expand to its southern provincial rival, too. It was like, 'I'll put my time in up here and go back.
That's where more than half of my style comes from. The Raiders left Oakland before, departing for greener pastures in Los Angeles in , but this move felt different. While the 49ers still are in the region, Santa Clara is not quite San Francisco. Given the wealth, football passion and pedigree in the region, that feels like sacrilege. The NFL needs to go back to Oakland. There's so many different elements to Oakland. Of course, you have the street elements, but then you also have the culture, and there's so much culture around.
It's a competitive city, it's full of just great artists and talent. It gave me the confidence, the passion, the realness I try my hardest to portray, so it has had about 90 percent influence on me. One even could argue that California now is underrepresented in the league, with the Raiders' exit from Oakland. So although San Diego's stadium is old — as was the case with Cleveland — the city on the Pacific coast feels like a shoo-in to get an NFL team back at some point.
The city has watched the NFL come and leave twice in the past 30 years, though the second departure could not be based on any lack of fan support. Louis is a great place in which to live and work. The Saints played home games at the Alamodome in , when they were forced to temporarily relocate due to Hurricane Katrina.
