I’m born, raised and still live in Houston, TX. Trust me the Texans are well supported and aren’t going anywhere.

Remember that the Charges played their first season in LA. As for the Florida Panthers, this postseason could help them stay in the Miami area. You have to remember that the various leagues don't want to lose certain markets.
the Pelicans are well supported as long as they have a .500+ record or are at least in the play-ins. Gayle Benson is a good owner, she just isn’t putting much into the Pelicans but they have amazing potential
Two Things: 1. The Rams are from Cleveland, not LA. The upstart Browns ran them out of town. 2. The Blue Jackets are not moving. Nationwide Arena is a great venue and the team pulls solid attendance. They averaged more fans than the Panthers despite being considerably worse.
Yeah Even as a Tampa Bay sports fan I feel bad for you guys losing the Oilers Tennessee should've waited for expansion like Seattle and Las Vegas did in the NHL
You’re literally just saying nonsense speculation. It’s not always about the stadium condition. A lot of your mentions are in some of the largest and highest rapidly growing cities in America. Royals leaving KC? Never. Texans leaving the 4th largest city in the country? No shot. Even the Dbacks, PHX is the fastest growing city in the southwest. You’re just making a video for the sake of making a video dude
Kind of ironic with the Panthers, because they are on an unexpected deep playoff run right now. Not sure if that changes much, but they’re kind of the Tampa Bay Rays of the NHL. Good team, bad venue location and poor attendance
Just because we play in London more than the other teams, doesn’t mean we would move there. Jacksonville is NOT losing the Jags. Our new state of the art trading facility is gone be done this off-season and Khan has been trying to improve the River walk area. We’ve got a new 4-seasons hotel being built right next to the stadium also
Plus, Jacksonville is seeing a lot of population growth. Just in the last two years, the Jacksonville metropolitan area has gained seventy thousand people.
Khan seems to have a good working relationship with city government, and the city also wants to keep the annual Florida Georgia game. The Jags will get the stadium renovations they want.
No one has explained how relocating a team to London would actually work. A prime time game in NY (8pm) would start at 1am in London. Even the late Sunday afternoon window wouldn't start until 9pm in London.
I find it hard to believe that Austin is getting a nfl team especially with 2 other nfl teams in the state of Texas. Also there's no way the KC Royals are going anywhere. The team needs a better product on the field but if every team moved because they were having a few bad years, then 90% of sports teams would be moving at some time or another.
Why do they do they bother using the term "state of the art" when it comes to these venues? Once they're built, twenty-five or thirty years down the road, they're going to be considered obsolete. Kauffman Stadium may be 50 years old, but at least it was well-maintained and should be a historical ballpark like Wrigley Field and Fenway Park.
The Rams started in Cleveland, moved to LA around 1945. The Browns started in the All American Football Conference in 1946 and wete one of three teams who joined the NFL in the early 50s, including the San Francisco 49ers and the original Baltimore Colts who folded a year later.
@@rockvilleraven the chargers we’re technically the only professional football team that started in LA. Every other team came from somewhere else. Even the dodgers and lakers if you want to talk other sports.
I have a few more from MLS in the NE Revolution, Chicago Fire & FC Dallas. The Revolution is most likely to relocate in my view in which they will move somewhere else in the New England region like Hartford because ownership has been unable to build a soccer specific stadium close to where the majority of fans live in Boston. As a result attendance has been a struggle for all of the team's existence even though they have had success. As for the Fire I see them being lured to either Phoenix or Vegas as part of MLS's expansion plans into those cities because the on field product isn't good & fans aren't attending games as a result even when the Fire moved back into Soldier Field to try to attract more fans. The only thing that is keeping the Fire in Chicago is because MLS wants to continue having a team in the 3rd biggest city in the country. However if Phoenix or Vegas offer MLS & the Fire a good amount of money to relocate, then they will likely move. FC Dallas is also in some danger of being relocated for pretty much the same reason Chicago is though FC Dallas is a regular playoff team & main reason why fans don't attend games is because of how far the stadium is from central Dallas.
Panthers can’t relocate now, since new mangers taken over, they put in a competitive team, panthers games are actually filling up, attendance is improving and the playoffs are consistently making playoffs and they’re in the ECF now. No way the panthers are leaving any time soon
The issue with the Panthers is akin to the Rays: Their arena is not at all easily accessible. If they built a new arena back in Miami (like what existed in the 90's) or even Fort Lauderdale, those attendance issues would likely be quelled. Sunrise isn't the greatest site for the arena.
As canadian hockey fan totally agree with this, always wondered why they dont move the Florida Panthers to downtown Miami, would be far more accessible and bring more attention to the team, what a finals run the Panthers had.
Rays in st.Pete move to Tampa and the panthers in Sunrise move to Ft Lauderdale or Miami would slove both problems this is why the attendance is poor because all people live in the cities like 75% of rays fans including me live 1 hour from the trop but 25 minutes from Tampa I would go way more if they just moved there you are right about all of us complaining that the stadium is in St.Pete it’s horrible
Moving to Miami would destroy the Florida Panthers. Why? It's because if you look at the demographics of the Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach area, most white, non-hispanic people, hockey's fan base, lives in Palm Beach and Broward counties. Taking the franchise all the way to Miami would alienate those fans as getting down to Miami from those areas is extremely difficult considering that one would likely take I-95, and it is like a parking lot in the hours leading up to a weekday game. The people in and around immediate Miami are mostly hispanics, and they are not going to watch hockey. To be honest, if you were to move the team anywhere within the market, West Palm Beach would be better than even Sunrise.
Buddy the Texans were pretty much always in the top third in total, average, and percentage throughout the 2010s.. just to watch guys like Mallet, Hoyer, and Brock Osweiler. It’s not the fan bases fault they haven’t been a good team.
So…I’ve been to several MLB stadiums and IMO the finest of them all is easily Royals stadium , it still is gorgeous. The original Architecture firm that designed Royals stadium and Arrowhead stadium was HOK , for some reason on Wiki and other sights history has been completely re-written and credit for the building of these gems is given to a completely different firm that wasn’t even in the stadium architecture space at the time these were built 🤦 These stadiums can only be described as the “ Frank Lloyd Wright” of stadiums , they are masterpieces and should be preserved at all cost ; by the way I hate what they did to the waterfall section , if I could I would tear it down and reset it to its original beauty…
I think after the arena funding bill vote failed, I think the NHL will finally throw in the towel on hockey In Arizona, they can’t even sell out a 5000 seat college arena where they play now. Either they move to Houston, Salt Lake City or Kansas City. I like Houston because they have the Toyota Center and they could resurrect the Houston Aeros name.
@@ericfriendzoned1303 That's what the newly renovated Baltimore, now CFG Bank Arena is copying but the management there is going after shows and concerts rather than sports. Aside from the Ravens and O's Baltimore is not that good of a sports town. The Arena League Brigade was among the bottom of attendance in that league, the Blast are still around but play in the SECU Arena at Towson University.
I don't think sport team relocations should happen anymore the leagues should just wait for expansion like the nhl it also hurts the fans of the previous cities they played in when they relocate
"Guardians" burned themselves with that name change. Fans clearly don't want political correctness in sport and it shows in attendance. Notice how online they usually say Cleveland fans instead of Guardians. Ownership fucked themselves up with that terrible decision.
I was listening to a Royals-Cleveland game last year and Royals announcer Denny Matthews never said Guardians or Indians he only said 'The Clevelands' when he mentioned the team. I thought it was amusing.
MLB came to KC in 2012 for the All-Star game contingent on refurbishing Kaufmann. That renewal of the stadium occurred between 2009-2011 and really saved the Royals in KC. KC & Cleveland and other midwestern cities suffer the plague of nearly all being small market teams. The new player contract increasing the maximum team payroll way (without penalty & the surtax) beyond what non-coastal cities like KC can afford only hurt midwestern teams. Baseball really has screwed up competitive balance. Right now only 3 of the 2 MLB 10 central division 2023 teams have a winning record. Unless competitive balance ever happens (all a part of MLB's exemption from the Sherman Anti-Trust act, beginning 100 years ago under commissioner Kennesaw Mountain Landis, most, if not all small market teams, especially in the midwest will find themselves in financial jeopardy and looking to move to the coasts in the future for sufficient TV & fan revenue to compete regularly.
And as of tonight, the Florida Panthers just clinched the Cup finals and have a rocking barn. I know hockey’s not your primary sport, but it would help to look at ‘now’ as well as the history
Honestly, if a Team is more than 10 or 20 years in 1 place they shouldn't be allowed to move ever, the only exception i would make is if the city its located in gets destroyed entirely and everyone has to move away.
one of the reasons the hockey teams in florida and phoenix have a problem is because the snowbirds arrive late and leave early ( in the hockey season ). both these places have an aging population and they don't like the cold of an arena. i've been able to get tickets in florida and phoenix almost anytime because there are always tickets available.
The problem with the Florida teams is that those who moved in from other states largely continue to support their old teams from where they came from. So the local teams get poor attendance, and a lot of that being fans of the opposing team.
It often takes people who haven't been keeping up with attendance figures a few years to catch up with reality after a team previously had bad attendance for many years.
Oakland is definitely moving to Vegas, TB I think stays on the Tampa Area. I think the D-Backs eventually get a new stadium somewhere in Arizona, the Royals I think eventually get a new stadium eventually next to Kaufman Stadium. I agree with you on the Jags staying as long as they can get a total redo for there stadium. You must not be old enough to remember the Oilers in Houston, they had die hard fans. The Chargers situation I tend to agree with you
If the only option in the Tampa area is to build another stadium in St. Pete, then they should move. While I'd rather not see them move to another city in Florida, the Orlando market could work for a little while since they get so many tourists. Nashville and Portland could then get the expansion teams, with Oakland moving to Las Vegas.
Why do so many people point out Nashville and not Charlotte? Charlotte is far more attractive. It has over 700,000 more people than Nashville in its metropolitan area. It also has far more people within two to three hours of the city and could pull from the Triad, the Triangle, Columbia, Greenville-Spartanburg, Hickory-Morganton, etc. Within three hours of Nashville, they only really have Chattanooga, Clarksville, perhaps Huntsville-Decatur, Alabama, and Bowling Green, Kentucky of significant size, far less people.
That college football game at Bristol motor speedway Virginia vs Tennessee was an insane one. Nascar in LA colliseum ...baseball in LA colliseum. MLB at London Olympic stadium I think and in Adelaide oval. Then there was a NBA preseason game at Indian wells tennis stadium maybe a decade ago
The WNBA New York Liberty had an outdoor preseason game at Arthur Ashe Stadium, where the Westminster Dog Show was also moved to this year with the roof closed, after a few years in Tarrytown, NY due to Covid.
The retractable roof at Chase Field HASN'T WORKED in THREE YEAR'S (including THIS season), THAT'S the BIGGEST complaint the team and fans have. Other than THAT, it's a BEAUTIFUL indoor stadium. I went to 3 games there last year. With exception to the roof NOT opening (broken cables that they refuse to replace), everything else was fine.
There is no way in hell that Jerry Jones allows another NFL team into his market. Austin is simply to close to Dallas. Yes, I know NY and LA share teams, but this is different.
In seeing the Houston stadium from your pic, I like it. Multiple levels means multiple concourses. I live about 2 hours from where the Bills play and you can even use the bathroom because of a single concourse. And the problem with the Panthers they are too far from Miami. Not saying Miami proper is the answer. Maybe Orlando?
I'm going to throw out something that might sound crazy, but I think could happen. The Bears are in the early stages of building the new suburban stadium, mainly figuring out how to fund it. Pundits have raised the possibility of adding a second Chicago team and splitting the costs in a similar way as it happened in NY and LA. Meanwhile, the Jaguars have an owner that lives in Chicago.
The Bears would likely block that, and I don't think Goodell will allow another 1982 Raiders situation to happen again. So Khan wouldn't be able to force his team into Chicago the way the Raiders did when they moved from Oakland to LA in '82 without repercussions.
@@stevenbauer4799 Khan was originally going to buy the Rams in St. Louis, only for Señor Stan to, at the last second, exercise a right of first refusal - on his way to lying the team out of St. Louis.
Not gonna lie, man... and I'm saying this respectfully... as soon as you said "I don't think Houston is a very good NFL town", I kinda tuned out... I get it's your opinion, but c'mon, man. (And if anything, the Jaguars would move to San Antonio before Austin. They've had MUCH more experience with holding pro football teams, albeit Spring Leagues and temporary sites for NFL games.)
Florida Panthers are a weird situation, since ownership owns the land around the arena. They play 30 minutes to 2 hours west of Fort Lauderdale. Miami is an estimated 45 minute drive without traffic (we will get a more accurate picture when lack of traffic occurs). The team needs an arena more centrally located, closer to Fort Lauderdale or Miami, and not across the Highway from Sawgrass National Reserve (a swamp),
They aren't 2 hours west of Ft. Lauderdale even with traffic. That said, yes, any new arena would be best served being built closer to Ft. Lauderdale. Maimi would be mistake unless they place it in a similar area to where the Dolphins play. The arena needs to be in a place where it can best serve the tricounty area. The Everglades is beautiful btw.
@@highfive2935 The Miami-Fort Lauderdale at its widest point is no more than a little over 20 miles wide, and that is farther south. Where Sunrise is, it might be around fifteen miles wide from the beach to the Everglades.
The Rams were originally in Cleveland. They moved to Los Angeles in 1946. I doubt very seriously that Jacksonville Jaguars will relocate. Ever since their inception in the middle 1990s, there have been those rumors of them relocating.
Florida just isn't conducive to hockey, despite the fact that the Lightning has won Stanley Cups and the Panthers are back to the Finals. Thank Gary Bettman for that development. Being back in the Finals will likely keep the Panthers in Miami for now.
@@stevep8445 ahh yes the famously pronounced quo-back city and province which translates to English as ‘king kong’s butthole’ from its origins in the beautiful mandarin language
I live in Central Texas; Austin is not getting an NFL team. If the Jaguars were that desperate to move, they would go to San Antonio because they already have the Alamo Dome.
They may have the Alamo Dome, but the corporate money in Austin dwarfs San Antonio. They’ll buy the luxury suites. Plus they could just play a couple of years at UT’s stadium (or TU’s as my Aggie living cousins call them).
4:19 diamondbacks are turning out to be pretty good this year and have #1 rated farm system. If attendance stays bad over the next 2-3 years I think you’ll hear more about major renovations, a new stadium, or even a move.
Arizona D'Backs, KC Royals, Miami Marlins, and Houston Texans are all definitely not relocating either at all or anytime soon. Texans definitely least likely to lose their team.
They might move from their current stadium (with the exception for Marlins) but I don't see them all leaving the general area altogether... Like the most I've heard is like Dbacks considering moving to Scottsdale, closer to where their spring facilities was, and Royals also trying to move into downtown too... 🤔🤔🤔
@@ddddirge I agree bro, they'll just leave their stadiums like Houston will probably leave NRG in the next 10 years. Royals are moving downtown in a few years. I think the D'Backs will stay in downtown Phoenix at Chase Field since it's still in good shape and will probably just need a facelift at some point. Miami's park is still too new and in great shape.
The Florida Panthers may play their home games in an arena that is located a hour or so away from Miami, but it is a very nice arena and the team has been playing quite well lately... So, I don't see the team relocating anyhwere. - Unless it's closer to the downtown areas of both Ft. Lauderdale and Miami.
7:01, that is such a bad take, the Texans won't probably ever relocate. Houston loves the team, even through the good and bad and with the new upcoming core they have, it's reignited the fanbase and given them hope for the future
Worst case scenario... DBacks can relocate to SLC and rebrand to SALT LAKE CITY STINGERS. Royals can relocate to NSH and rebrand to NASHVILLE STARS. Jaguars remain in AFC South but relocate to ATX and rebrand to AUSTIN JAGUARS unless JAX can save them. Texans can relocate to ATX and become to AUSTIN TEXANS. Chargers to remain in AFC West but relocate to STL rebrand to ST. LOUIS CHARGERS. Coyotes can relocate to HOU and rebrand to HOUSTON PUMAS or relocate to SLC and rebrand to UTAH SWARM. Panthers can locate to QUEBEC and bring baq the QUEBEC NORIQUES. NBA is expanding to SEATTLE AND VEGAS. So Pelicans can relocate to Vancouver and rebrand to VANCOUVER VOYAGERS or VANCOUVER KODIAKS. A bear claw w a "V" in the middle and try to use the same color scheme as the old GRIZZLIES.
The Detroit Tigers,Lions and Pistons will relocate to Concord,CA so that their new rivals will be the San Francisco Giants,the San Francisco 49ers and the Golden State Warriors.
Here’s who I see moving soon NFL: use to think Jaguars, but starting to doubt it NHL: Coyotes and Panthers MLB: Athletics, Rays, and maybe marlins. I know Dbacks and my brewers are rumored but I don’t see it happening and hope it doesn’t happen
The A's are a forgone conclusion. The two Florida teams have always faced challenges unique to the state in that fan loyalties have long been established through the many baseball spring training camps. I don't see the Diamondbacks moving nor the Brewers, even though Milwaukee is the smallest market in MLB.
@@YooperHatesOhioState I hope they don't, either. I'm a baseball fan from Canada and I know the Brewers were recently given some kind of ultimatum by MLB to renovate their stadium.
You might not like the location of the panthers arena, but what is horrible about it? Free parking if you want to walk from the mall, close to highways, constantly being upgraded, good sight lines, clean.
TIAA Bank Field is bad for a few reasons. 1. Seats are far away from the field, especially the upper deck seats 2. Concourses are narrow and dark 3. Restrooms are old and nasty 4. Parking is difficult The Georgia/Florida annual game is being moved to a home and home for 2026-2027 due to potential renovations to TIAA, if the city agrees to the renovations. If the renovations are approved, the Jaguars will need to find a temporary place to play for those 2 seasons. Another thing to note is that the Jaguars have a brand new training facility and team HQ that will open this summer and is located next to TIAA. I don't see the Jags moving to another city. Too many millions have been invested into that training facility and team HQ.
Yes. Collectively, they're called the Truman Sports Complex. It's about 7 miles east of Downtown KC, much closer to suburbs like Independence and Raytown than to the urban core and there's really no development around them - just parking lots (big enough to fit entirely in the Downtown Loop) with the nearest restaurant being a Taco Bell sitting across a 6 lane street, hence why the Royals are (finally) looking to build Downtown.
It's ridiculous to call a team at risk of relocation unless there's a viable candidate city to relocate to. In the cases of MLB and NFL, at least, there really isn't one.
It must be so disheartening to be a hockey player in Arizona. Nothing against the people, but hockey was never a big sell down there. Let them go to Hamilton, or Quebec City, or Milwaukee, or Regina, or anywhere else where there is an interest in having them
Thank Gary Bettman for that too. That insistence on expanding hockey to warm-weather places has been hit-or-miss. I could definitely see Quebec getting a team back or the Coyotes moving to Milwaukee, where college hockey is popular.
I think the Diamondbacks would do better if they relocate to either Vancouver, British Columbia in Canada and became the British Columbia Diamondbacks or further west to Portland, Oregon and became the Portland Diamondbacks in the MLB
For those of you that wondered if one of the NFL teams could move to San Antonio, TX, or Austin, TX, one of the owners have to deal with Jerry Jones & his NFL DAL Cowboys. He’ll block anyone that tries to bring a 3rd team to TX. That will be hard to come by. But if Jones kick the bucket, then who knows. I’d be surprised if Jones’ son uphold the stop sign against the 3rd team. If one of the NFL owners is looking for an enclosed venue - rather than open due to weather conditions - as temporary home (or permanent), the only place that has it is the dome at St. Louis, MO. True San Antonio, TX has the Alamodome, but once again, they got to get through Jones 1st. With $790M that the Lou scored & invested from their STL NFL settlement, I bet they’ll raise enough money to either renovate the dome they have such as getting ready for their new turf after this year’s UFL season. Or try to build a new football stadium since they almost did with their $1.1B riverfront in 2015.
Colorado (MLB) I'm sure has good attendance, but it seems as if winning a championship in Denver just isn't possible in that thin air. Only one WS apperance ever.

However if Phoenix or Vegas offer MLS & the Fire a good amount of money to relocate, then they will likely move. FC Dallas is also in some danger of being relocated for pretty much the same reason Chicago is though FC Dallas is a regular playoff team & main reason why fans don't attend games is because of how far the stadium is from central Dallas.
Soccer really seems a lot more popular in the South than the rest of the country. Atlanta, Charlotte, and Nashville, are 1, 2, & 4 in MLS attendance.
The Rams use to play at Angels Stadium before the moved to St. Louis.
Anaheim stadium yeah I don’t think the rams should have ever left Los Angeles they definitely did not fit in St. Louis
They should've stayed in Cleveland and Sports Relocations shouldn't have happened because fans will be hurt the most
Damn another video and fresh content. This channel is becoming epic glad i clicked that Sub button.
Actually, the Chargers played the 1960 season in Los Angeles.
You crank out a LOT of videos, my guy.
Yeah it's kinda quantity over quality though. The algorithm is brutal after all.
Not of good quality but to each of their own
Definitely just throwing things together to produce content. The Diamondbacks and Royals aren’t moving. Nor are the Chargers or the Texans.
I like his channel but I think he’s an autist for retractable roofs
I mean, they're not terrible videos, but they have gotten extremely repetitive after a while.
Panthers can’t relocate now, since new mangers taken over, they put in a competitive team, panthers games are actually filling up, attendance is improving and the playoffs are consistently making playoffs and they’re in the ECF now. No way the panthers are leaving any time soon
Exactly! This guy sometimes just ramble his mouth and is going off terrible assumptions without research
@@AntcmbHeat yeah so it appears, he’s not a bad UA-camr I like his content but if you want to be taken seriously, do the research first
Florida attendance is better than like seven other teams. It has improved a lot in the last couple years.
Coyotes are the only team who will move
The Royals relocating is laughable. No way in hell they ever leave KC
For real, right? The Royals are a mainstay in KC, just like the Chiefs
I love Kauffman. It's so classic
The issue with the Panthers is akin to the Rays: Their arena is not at all easily accessible. If they built a new arena back in Miami (like what existed in the 90's) or even Fort Lauderdale, those attendance issues would likely be quelled. Sunrise isn't the greatest site for the arena.
As canadian hockey fan totally agree with this, always wondered why they dont move the Florida Panthers to downtown Miami, would be far more accessible and bring more attention to the team, what a finals run the Panthers had.
The Cincinnati Bengals were at risk of moving but if they want a new stadium they can get it. Their lease is up in 3 years.
The Bengals don't need a new stadium.
Rays in st.Pete move to Tampa and the panthers in Sunrise move to Ft Lauderdale or Miami would slove both problems this is why the attendance is poor because all people live in the cities like 75% of rays fans including me live 1 hour from the trop but 25 minutes from Tampa I would go way more if they just moved there you are right about all of us complaining that the stadium is in St.Pete it’s horrible
Moving to Miami would destroy the Florida Panthers.
Why?
It's because if you look at the demographics of the Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach area, most white, non-hispanic people, hockey's fan base, lives in Palm Beach and Broward counties. Taking the franchise all the way to Miami would alienate those fans as getting down to Miami from those areas is extremely difficult considering that one would likely take I-95, and it is like a parking lot in the hours leading up to a weekday game. The people in and around immediate Miami are mostly hispanics, and they are not going to watch hockey. To be honest, if you were to move the team anywhere within the market, West Palm Beach would be better than even Sunrise.
@@willp.8120 yea I didn’t think about it that way
The channel that is full of all options and absolutely no facts 💯
Buddy the Texans were pretty much always in the top third in total, average, and percentage throughout the 2010s.. just to watch guys like Mallet, Hoyer, and Brock Osweiler. It’s not the fan bases fault they haven’t been a good team.
So…I’ve been to several MLB stadiums and IMO the finest of them all is easily Royals stadium , it still is gorgeous.
The original Architecture firm that designed Royals stadium and Arrowhead stadium was HOK , for some reason on Wiki and other sights history has been completely re-written and credit for the building of these gems is given to a completely different firm that wasn’t even in the stadium architecture space at the time these were built 🤦
These stadiums can only be described as the “ Frank Lloyd Wright” of stadiums , they are masterpieces and should be preserved at all cost ; by the way I hate what they did to the waterfall section , if I could I would tear it down and reset it to its original beauty…
I think after the arena funding bill vote failed, I think the NHL will finally throw in the towel on hockey In Arizona, they can’t even sell out a 5000 seat college arena where they play now. Either they move to Houston, Salt Lake City or Kansas City. I like Houston because they have the Toyota Center and they could resurrect the Houston Aeros name.
KC most likely... Tmobile Center/Sprint hasn't had a full time sport in it's history and it's a nice facility for a NHL/NBA team
@@ericfriendzoned1303 That's what the newly renovated Baltimore, now CFG Bank Arena is copying but the management there is going after shows and concerts rather than sports. Aside from the Ravens and O's Baltimore is not that good of a sports town. The Arena League Brigade was among the bottom of attendance in that league, the Blast are still around but play in the SECU Arena at Towson University.
And that ended up being Salt Lake City...
The NBA is really committed to keeping a team in New Orleans whether it is high performing or not.
Cleveland may not always feel like it is, but I do honestly think that Cleveland is a baseball city.
Weirdly enough yeah
"Major League"
I don't think sport team relocations should happen anymore the leagues should just wait for expansion like the nhl it also hurts the fans of the previous cities they played in when they relocate
"Guardians" burned themselves with that name change. Fans clearly don't want political correctness in sport and it shows in attendance. Notice how online they usually say Cleveland fans instead of Guardians. Ownership fucked themselves up with that terrible decision.
I was listening to a Royals-Cleveland game last year and Royals announcer Denny Matthews never said Guardians or Indians he only said 'The Clevelands' when he mentioned the team. I thought it was amusing.
The Kaufmann stadium rehab was in 2008-09 not in 2003. And by the way the Tampa Lightning have no trouble drawing crowds.
Winning 3 Stanley Cups - including 2 in a row in recent years - certainly helps.
The k was renovated in the early 2000's too
MLB came to KC in 2012 for the All-Star game contingent on refurbishing Kaufmann. That renewal of the stadium occurred between 2009-2011 and really saved the Royals in KC. KC & Cleveland and other midwestern cities suffer the plague of nearly all being small market teams. The new player contract increasing the maximum team payroll way (without penalty & the surtax) beyond what non-coastal cities like KC can afford only hurt midwestern teams. Baseball really has screwed up competitive balance. Right now only 3 of the 2 MLB 10 central division 2023 teams have a winning record. Unless competitive balance ever happens (all a part of MLB's exemption from the Sherman Anti-Trust act, beginning 100 years ago under commissioner Kennesaw Mountain Landis, most, if not all small market teams, especially in the midwest will find themselves in financial jeopardy and looking to move to the coasts in the future for sufficient TV & fan revenue to compete regularly.
@@richardjensen2327 🎯
And as of tonight, the Florida Panthers just clinched the Cup finals and have a rocking barn. I know hockey’s not your primary sport, but it would help to look at ‘now’ as well as the history
This list is based on nothing but ignorance.
Florida Panthers have been rumored to move since the mid 2000s so far it hasn't happened
I think the Panthers will be OK with their deep postseason run.
They will be on the move if the attendance doesn't pick up.
@@saltbae865 Not until 2029-30 that's when the lease with the county is up
Honestly, if a Team is more than 10 or 20 years in 1 place they shouldn't be allowed to move ever, the only exception i would make is if the city its located in gets destroyed entirely and everyone has to move away.
Haha when LA gets nuked the Dodgers can move
one of the reasons the hockey teams in florida and phoenix have a problem is because the snowbirds arrive late and leave early ( in the hockey season ). both these places have an aging population and they don't like the cold of an arena. i've been able to get tickets in florida and phoenix almost anytime because there are always tickets available.
KC is a great ballpark. i wish other teams did what they had done. Great Parking, Great food, and a great place to watch a game
Kc is beautiful
The problem with the Florida teams is that those who moved in from other states largely continue to support their old teams from where they came from. So the local teams get poor attendance, and a lot of that being fans of the opposing team.
The Florida panthers aren’t moving have you seen how popular they are right now
It often takes people who haven't been keeping up with attendance figures a few years to catch up with reality after a team previously had bad attendance for many years.
and playing in the Stanley Cup Finals
The North Stars moved a few years after making the Stanley Cup finals
Oakland is definitely moving to Vegas, TB I think stays on the Tampa Area. I think the D-Backs eventually get a new stadium somewhere in Arizona, the Royals I think eventually get a new stadium eventually next to Kaufman Stadium. I agree with you on the Jags staying as long as they can get a total redo for there stadium. You must not be old enough to remember the Oilers in Houston, they had die hard fans. The Chargers situation I tend to agree with you
If the only option in the Tampa area is to build another stadium in St. Pete, then they should move. While I'd rather not see them move to another city in Florida, the Orlando market could work for a little while since they get so many tourists. Nashville and Portland could then get the expansion teams, with Oakland moving to Las Vegas.
Why do so many people point out Nashville and not Charlotte? Charlotte is far more attractive. It has over 700,000 more people than Nashville in its metropolitan area. It also has far more people within two to three hours of the city and could pull from the Triad, the Triangle, Columbia, Greenville-Spartanburg, Hickory-Morganton, etc. Within three hours of Nashville, they only really have Chattanooga, Clarksville, perhaps Huntsville-Decatur, Alabama, and Bowling Green, Kentucky of significant size, far less people.
Are you still doing the college basketball playoff?
That college football game at Bristol motor speedway Virginia vs Tennessee was an insane one.
Nascar in LA colliseum ...baseball in LA colliseum. MLB at London Olympic stadium I think and in Adelaide oval.
Then there was a NBA preseason game at Indian wells tennis stadium maybe a decade ago
The WNBA New York Liberty had an outdoor preseason game at Arthur Ashe Stadium, where the Westminster Dog Show was also moved to this year with the roof closed, after a few years in Tarrytown, NY due to Covid.
The retractable roof at Chase Field HASN'T WORKED in THREE YEAR'S (including THIS season), THAT'S the BIGGEST complaint the team and fans have. Other than THAT, it's a BEAUTIFUL indoor stadium. I went to 3 games there last year.
With exception to the roof NOT opening (broken cables that they refuse to replace), everything else was fine.
They are moving to Vancouver. I have inside information on it.
Somehow you have a successful youtube channel making videos about things people have already made videos on
There is no way in hell that Jerry Jones allows another NFL team into his market. Austin is simply to close to Dallas. Yes, I know NY and LA share teams, but this is different.
great work once again
Pelicans won’t leave, and that arena is fine
N.O. Definitely need a new arena in order to keep the NBA. Remember they already lost one NBA team.
The NHL struggles in florida have you seen the attendance for the tampa bay lightning.
I think he misses the mark often. Then again, he could be "only" referencing the FLORIDA Panthers and not Florida in general.
I think he was referring more to the Miami area of Florida
@@stevep8445" qwark" instead of "quirk" 😂
In seeing the Houston stadium from your pic, I like it. Multiple levels means multiple concourses. I live about 2 hours from where the Bills play and you can even use the bathroom because of a single concourse. And the problem with the Panthers they are too far from Miami. Not saying Miami proper is the answer. Maybe Orlando?
You are Wrong Dude. Texas loves there Football.
WHY would the Rays stay in St Petersburg at the Trop site?
I'm going to throw out something that might sound crazy, but I think could happen. The Bears are in the early stages of building the new suburban stadium, mainly figuring out how to fund it. Pundits have raised the possibility of adding a second Chicago team and splitting the costs in a similar way as it happened in NY and LA. Meanwhile, the Jaguars have an owner that lives in Chicago.
khan could also go into st,l opening too.
The Bears would likely block that, and I don't think Goodell will allow another 1982 Raiders situation to happen again. So Khan wouldn't be able to force his team into Chicago the way the Raiders did when they moved from Oakland to LA in '82 without repercussions.
@@stevenbauer4799 Khan was originally going to buy the Rams in St. Louis, only for Señor Stan to, at the last second, exercise a right of first refusal - on his way to lying the team out of St. Louis.
The bengals could move to Chicago as well.
I don't think the Texans and Cowboys would be in favor of a team in either Austin or San Antonio.
The Chargers should move back to San Diego. The fans there always supported them!
*video suggestion:* talk about the new MLS expansion (San Diego, St. Louis, etc.)
There are a lot of Texans fans in Houston, they just don’t go to the games. Also it’s probably location bias, but I like NRG Stadium
Not gonna lie, man... and I'm saying this respectfully... as soon as you said "I don't think Houston is a very good NFL town", I kinda tuned out...
I get it's your opinion, but c'mon, man.
(And if anything, the Jaguars would move to San Antonio before Austin. They've had MUCH more experience with holding pro football teams, albeit Spring Leagues and temporary sites for NFL games.)
Florida Panthers are a weird situation, since ownership owns the land around the arena. They play 30 minutes to 2 hours west of Fort Lauderdale. Miami is an estimated 45 minute drive without traffic (we will get a more accurate picture when lack of traffic occurs). The team needs an arena more centrally located, closer to Fort Lauderdale or Miami, and not across the Highway from Sawgrass National Reserve (a swamp),
They aren't 2 hours west of Ft. Lauderdale even with traffic. That said, yes, any new arena would be best served being built closer to Ft. Lauderdale. Maimi would be mistake unless they place it in a similar area to where the Dolphins play. The arena needs to be in a place where it can best serve the tricounty area.
The Everglades is beautiful btw.
@@highfive2935 The Miami-Fort Lauderdale at its widest point is no more than a little over 20 miles wide, and that is farther south. Where Sunrise is, it might be around fifteen miles wide from the beach to the Everglades.
Out of all of the teams listed in this video.. The Chargers relocating makes the most sense
Yeah the Chargers will move back to San Diego or relocate to Saint Louis
Florida Panthers has plenty of support, considering their home games this playoffs are been rocking.
The Los Angeles fans care about the Rams, but not about the Chargers. They have neveer really been an LA team
I don’t understand how someone sees “uars” and says “wires.”
Jerry Jones would not allow a team in Austin.
we got to get over this competition of stadiums; and focus on the teams themself.
The Rams were originally in Cleveland. They moved to Los Angeles in 1946. I doubt very seriously that Jacksonville Jaguars will relocate. Ever since their inception in the middle 1990s, there have been those rumors of them relocating.
Florida just isn't conducive to hockey, despite the fact that the Lightning has won Stanley Cups and the Panthers are back to the Finals. Thank Gary Bettman for that development. Being back in the Finals will likely keep the Panthers in Miami for now.
Wtf is a jag wire?
@@stevep8445 ahh yes the famously pronounced quo-back city and province which translates to English as ‘king kong’s butthole’ from its origins in the beautiful mandarin language
Pelicans arena, is that bars on the building. Keeping out or not letting you leave, Idk.
I live in Central Texas; Austin is not getting an NFL team. If the Jaguars were that desperate to move, they would go to San Antonio because they already have the Alamo Dome.
They may have the Alamo Dome, but the corporate money in Austin dwarfs San Antonio. They’ll buy the luxury suites. Plus they could just play a couple of years at UT’s stadium (or TU’s as my Aggie living cousins call them).
Why would play any sport in a dome in Florida ?? Except hockey and basketball.
4:19 diamondbacks are turning out to be pretty good this year and have #1 rated farm system. If attendance stays bad over the next 2-3 years I think you’ll hear more about major renovations, a new stadium, or even a move.
You're right they're doing very good one of the surprises teams this but per MLB their farm system is #3. Los Angeles is #2 and Baltimore is #1.
Arizona D'Backs, KC Royals, Miami Marlins, and Houston Texans are all definitely not relocating either at all or anytime soon. Texans definitely least likely to lose their team.
They might move from their current stadium (with the exception for Marlins) but I don't see them all leaving the general area altogether... Like the most I've heard is like Dbacks considering moving to Scottsdale, closer to where their spring facilities was, and Royals also trying to move into downtown too...
🤔🤔🤔
I think this guy likes to jump through conclusions with out stating facts.
No way Houston is going to lose the Texans with that stadium
@@ddddirge I agree bro, they'll just leave their stadiums like Houston will probably leave NRG in the next 10 years. Royals are moving downtown in a few years. I think the D'Backs will stay in downtown Phoenix at Chase Field since it's still in good shape and will probably just need a facelift at some point. Miami's park is still too new and in great shape.
@@briancalifornia1 He does as he has no real info, he always talks about Chase Field in Phoenix like it's a bad ballpark when it's not. LOL!
The Rams were originally in Cleveland and the Chargers should move back to San Diego. They don’t have fans in Los Angeles.
That's not going to happen,the Chargers already moved to Los Angeles.
10:00 “a lot of people say columbus”
No thats just an L take columbus blue jackets are here to stay
The Florida Panthers may play their home games in an arena that is located a hour or so away from Miami, but it is a very nice arena and the team has been playing quite well lately... So, I don't see the team relocating anyhwere. - Unless it's closer to the downtown areas of both Ft. Lauderdale and Miami.
7:01, that is such a bad take, the Texans won't probably ever relocate. Houston loves the team, even through the good and bad and with the new upcoming core they have, it's reignited the fanbase and given them hope for the future
“Arizona just hasn’t been good the last 6 years” well that aged well 😭
Worst case scenario... DBacks can relocate to SLC and rebrand to SALT LAKE CITY STINGERS. Royals can relocate to NSH and rebrand to NASHVILLE STARS. Jaguars remain in AFC South but relocate to ATX and rebrand to AUSTIN JAGUARS unless JAX can save them. Texans can relocate to ATX and become to AUSTIN TEXANS. Chargers to remain in AFC West but relocate to STL rebrand to ST. LOUIS CHARGERS. Coyotes can relocate to HOU and rebrand to HOUSTON PUMAS or relocate to SLC and rebrand to UTAH SWARM. Panthers can locate to QUEBEC and bring baq the QUEBEC NORIQUES. NBA is expanding to SEATTLE AND VEGAS. So Pelicans can relocate to Vancouver and rebrand to VANCOUVER VOYAGERS or VANCOUVER KODIAKS. A bear claw w a "V" in the middle and try to use the same color scheme as the old GRIZZLIES.

Yep, same with the Diamondbacks.
The Royals won a Championship back in 2015
@@coreylevine8095 Then they dismantled that team not long after
Here’s who I see moving soon
NFL: use to think Jaguars, but starting to doubt it
NHL: Coyotes and Panthers
MLB: Athletics, Rays, and maybe marlins. I know Dbacks and my brewers are rumored but I don’t see it happening and hope it doesn’t happen
The A's are a forgone conclusion. The two Florida teams have always faced challenges unique to the state in that fan loyalties have long been established through the many baseball spring training camps.
I don't see the Diamondbacks moving nor the Brewers, even though Milwaukee is the smallest market in MLB.
@@FischerFan hope the brewers don’t
@@YooperHatesOhioState I hope they don't, either. I'm a baseball fan from Canada and I know the Brewers were recently given some kind of ultimatum by MLB to renovate their stadium.
@@FischerFan yes we were and it’s dumb. Nothing wrong with the stadium. Manfred just wants to see small markets fail
You might not like the location of the panthers arena, but what is horrible about it? Free parking if you want to walk from the mall, close to highways, constantly being upgraded, good sight lines, clean.
Panthers relocating? FLA Live arena is always packed. Don’t see that happening
The Royals aren’t going anywhere. That WS win in 2015 saved them.
TIAA Bank Field is bad for a few reasons.
1. Seats are far away from the field, especially the upper deck seats
2. Concourses are narrow and dark
3. Restrooms are old and nasty
4. Parking is difficult
The Georgia/Florida annual game is being moved to a home and home for 2026-2027 due to potential renovations to TIAA, if the city agrees to the renovations. If the renovations are approved, the Jaguars will need to find a temporary place to play for those 2 seasons. Another thing to note is that the Jaguars have a brand new training facility and team HQ that will open this summer and is located next to TIAA. I don't see the Jags moving to another city. Too many millions have been invested into that training facility and team HQ.
Thats cool i didnt know Kansas city had the ball park right nex to the football stadium.
Yes. Collectively, they're called the Truman Sports Complex. It's about 7 miles east of Downtown KC, much closer to suburbs like Independence and Raytown than to the urban core and there's really no development around them - just parking lots (big enough to fit entirely in the Downtown Loop) with the nearest restaurant being a Taco Bell sitting across a 6 lane street, hence why the Royals are (finally) looking to build Downtown.
The Texans are not going anywhere. It’s a big football city just wish Tennessee would give them the oilers name. Idk what this guy is talking about
It's ridiculous to call a team at risk of relocation unless there's a viable candidate city to relocate to. In the cases of MLB and NFL, at least, there really isn't one.
Montreal needs MLB
It must be so disheartening to be a hockey player in Arizona. Nothing against the people, but hockey was never a big sell down there. Let them go to Hamilton, or Quebec City, or Milwaukee, or Regina, or anywhere else where there is an interest in having them
Thank Gary Bettman for that too. That insistence on expanding hockey to warm-weather places has been hit-or-miss. I could definitely see Quebec getting a team back or the Coyotes moving to Milwaukee, where college hockey is popular.
To be honest I think chase field looks fine!
Yeah there’s nothing wrong with it really. Besides maybe being too big for their current attendance, but that’s really just an aesthetics thing
Yeah same. As someone who hasn’t actually been but from what I’ve seen on tv and just from images, it looks really good
The outside is a bit hangerlike but the inside is quite nice. It has a good ambience! Love the weird angles around the outfield wall, etc
I think the Diamondbacks would do better if they relocate to either Vancouver, British Columbia in Canada and became the British Columbia Diamondbacks or further west to Portland, Oregon and became the Portland Diamondbacks in the MLB
The Coyotes should change there name and move to Wisconsin
The Milwaukee Beer Steins, "Steins", for short.
For those of you that wondered if one of the NFL teams could move to San Antonio, TX, or Austin, TX, one of the owners have to deal with Jerry Jones & his NFL DAL Cowboys. He’ll block anyone that tries to bring a 3rd team to TX. That will be hard to come by. But if Jones kick the bucket, then who knows. I’d be surprised if Jones’ son uphold the stop sign against the 3rd team.
If one of the NFL owners is looking for an enclosed venue - rather than open due to weather conditions - as temporary home (or permanent), the only place that has it is the dome at St. Louis, MO. True San Antonio, TX has the Alamodome, but once again, they got to get through Jones 1st. With $790M that the Lou scored & invested from their STL NFL settlement, I bet they’ll raise enough money to either renovate the dome they have such as getting ready for their new turf after this year’s UFL season. Or try to build a new football stadium since they almost did with their $1.1B riverfront in 2015.
Colorado (MLB) I'm sure has good attendance, but it seems as if winning a championship in Denver just isn't possible in that thin air. Only one WS apperance ever.
So I read that balls move like 1.5” less in denver vs saw new york or boston. Does that really even matter that much?
