I think they'd be the most likely to get an expansion team, followed by Portland and Toronto. I could honestly see Vancouver or somewhere in British Columbia as more likely than Portland. I think you stand a chance of picking up some of those non-coastal state Northwest fans (Montana, Idaho, possibly even some of the Dakotas), though those are relatively low population states. I wouldn't be surprised if Omaha was a higher priority than Portland, as a standalone location; though I have trouble seeing them being keen on going into both Oklahoma City and Omaha simultaneously. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigInBoys Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Places like Omaha, Mobile etc. CANNOT support NFL teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There would be next to no tailgating in Toronto and the lots that allowed it would still be public lots for the rest of the city. Quebec supports their football team and hockey team always. The same can't be said in Toronto unless the teams are winning (see current Blue Jay attendance numbers). The issue with both cities is they are filled with fans for all 32 teams. The NFL would have to be very, very confident that those fans would jump ship to support a local team. It certainly isn't a guarantee and the Bills in Toronto series kind of proves that as the Bills have a huge following in Western Ontario but they couldn't sell out those games and the attendees were supporting jerseys from Cincinnati to Arizona. Those games were like the united nations of NFL fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, they’d be competing with the CFL on their turf. Toronto has the bills already though. I mean, its right there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazer026 Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 I think 32 teams is the perfect number. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET80 Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 San Antonio would be my suggestion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckoz24 Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 I agree that 32 teams is a great size. Anymore and it might reduce the skill of the game as well and might cause for fans to lose interest. Tailgating in Ontario is in the process of being approved. If it were a Canadian city the most deserving would be Saskatchewan. For such a small city they go crazy for the Roughriders. It won't be them though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TENINCH Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 We need fewer teams. 30 was a great number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason to have 2 teams in each city. Jacksonville and Carolina were the last to join so I wouldn't be sad if they were gone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UtahUtesFan Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 (edited) 32 is perfect but I would be fine if the Chargers & New England went away. Isn't Buffalo & 2 NY teams enough for the New England area? I feel like the Browns & Bengals should merge since the Bengals play at Paul Brown Stadium and what not.

rfournier103 Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 32 is perfect. There is nothing wrong with the scheduling formula and playoff format. Over saturation dilutes the product and reduces demand. The NFL is fine as it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///mcompact Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Definitely put a team in Oklahoma. The football frenzy up there rivals Texas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
