Watching in San Diego & I was a huge Chargers fan since 1971. Very sad day when the owner moved the team to Los Angeles 7 years ago. We had poor community leaders combined with extremely bad ownership of the team, made a perfect storm to allow the team to leave San Diego, after 56 years of loyal fan base. Who knows, maybe someday we’ll get lucky & be blessed with another NFL team. We did support 3 fantastic SuperBowls & we always have great weather in February.
Wasn't there for the departure in San Diego, but having good or bad city leaders does not matter. We (St. Louis) followed the NFL rules, pulled all the strings to be able to build a new stadium to replace a dome that is not 30 years old and the Rams left before the Chargers or Raiders left.

I agreed with all BUT 1 of the picks. Oakland refused to work out any new stadium deals with any of their major sports teams. That is why the Raiders left, the Warriors left, and why the A's are now looking for a place to call home.
Plenty of cities have lost sports teams and still brought an expansion team in. Cleveland Browns, Minnesota North Stars/Wild, Charlotte Hornets, New Orleans Jazz/Pelicans, etc.
Do you really think that a team in Europe would be economically and logistically viable? Do you really think that having more than 20 transatlantic trips would be viable? And those are just the trips of the hypothetical London team.
Facts, and they should build the stadium in either St.Louis county or St. Charles County, away from the tiggers who are destroying the city each and every single day.

You bring up a very good point. 32 teams is too many when you look at the Jags and Titans in Jacksonville and Nashville, they may have been better off at 30
Uh, sorry to disappoint you, but St. Louis will be well down the list. San Antonio is guaranteed a team. Salt Lake will probably get the second franchise. If the NFL expands further(unlikely at one time), then San Diego would probably be the third. Then maybe St. Louis? Or Oklahoma City.
Appreciate your positive take on St. Louis, that also was home to the football Cardinals before they left for Arizona, but i would be beyond stunned if the NFL came back here. The league does not like St. Louis for some reason and dragged the city's image through mud getting the Rams out of here.
0:55 The NFL and UFL should unite to construct the much-anticipated Proposed Oklahoma City Stadium, creating a premier venue that benefits both leagues and enhances the sports experience for fans.
San Antonio - Pro: Large city and love of sports. Con: Jerry Jones would stop any expansion there as it would threaten revenue and attention from the Cowboys. Austin: Pro: Mid sized city with sports culture (College football with Texas Longhorns and professional soccer with Austin FC). Con: lack of infrastructure for an NFL team. City would not approve funding for a stadium and other required construction.
@ericlove8716 Yeah, I'm currently living here. This place sucks and there's nothing special about this dump. This city is just full of bad drivers and illegal immigrants.
The problem with Portland is there isn’t enough land in the downtown area. Granted, they finally found a suitable location for a baseball stadium for the MLB. This is coming from someone who lives in the Portland area. San Antonio is more ideal but you have to get through Jerry Jones who will not approve such an expansion unless he’s grown senile.
St. Louis would be a good fit... There should be facility ready in STL.. Training Camp at least for a few years could be held at Western Illinois University...
I would love to have NFL team in Utah but we are trying to get a MLB team first so I don’t know if we could build two stadiums unless we can expand RSL
Right now the NFL has 32 teams and if the league were to expand in my opinion the total number of teams would have to go to 40 teams over a period of time. So, each of the eight current divisions would add an extra team. And, if St. Louis was awarded an expansion team would have to play in an new either fixed or retractable roof stadium. I would not want to sit through a cold outdoor game right on the river in either December or January.
That was a great list.I like your top five much better than the bottom five. I wouldn't put a team in canada since they have so many regulations , there's baseball players that aren't allowed to play when When they're visiting toronto which is a total advantage for the for the Blue Jay's. I need to find out if this happens also to NHL teams.
I just checked canada has dropped the regulations on vaccines. However , took way too long and I still believe that Blue jays should have been playing in buffalo the whole time.
They need to make the Saint Louis Battlehawks the NFL franchise. That city shows out for that team. They have a stadium. The NFL can help to renovate. Ask the CFL if they can pay for the rights of the name and logos, and there is the new team in a perfect location. They can be a part of the NFC West.
You don’t care how big the city is, it’s how big the media market is. Also, NFL stadia go for about a billion dollars a throw and the league or any potential owner is going to expect the public to pay most of that. You’re also going to need 60,000 to 80,000 people to want to spend $250 or so per seat plus food, drinks, and parking (if you’re not attached to good public transport) at least 8 or 9 times a year. Seems like that eliminates most of these cities.
As long as the CFL exists the NFL won't try expansion. The CFL would have to fold first. Considering the grey cup is the oldest Chamption still being Defended today I don't see NFL team for along time .
@@psychopathyoutubeemployees280 Smart???? Edmonton changed their footballs team name from the Eskimo's to the (shudders in disgust) THE ELK. An they did it just to appease a small vocal bunch of white guilt wokists. The Elk, pfftttt, next Chicago will be changing their NHL teams name from the Blackhawks to the fighting sparrows.
WRONG; this is the take of an uninformed & uneducated dunce who clearly has zero intellectual grasp of his own terrible point. Nothing is stopping the NFL from expanding into Canada, specifically Toronto.
What about Omaha Nebraska, Jackson Mississippi, San Antonio Texas, Austin Texas, El Paso Texas, Amarillo Texas, Albuquerque New Mexico, Santa Fe New Mexico, Boise Idaho, Bismarck North Dakota, Louisville Kentucky, Charleston West Virginia, Columbia South Carolina, Birmingham Alabama, Montgomery Alabama, Des Moines Iowa, the quad cities Iowa/Illinois, and my final location Cheyenne Wyoming that's my list of where I think they should put teams at
The only feasible city out of all these is San Diego. They have the population density, money, fan base (San Diegans do not support the LA Chargers), and beautiful weather.
St. Louis, Oakland and San Diego have to be the first cities to get a franchise as they were ripped off. Oklahoma City should get one. I would add at least 4 teams over two years. I would add 4 more teams after 5-10 years , that’s when I would look at getting teams in Canada and possibly Mexico.
Got that right big dawg!! I'm from the Lou and we got screwed...TWICE!😂😂 Besides , the NFL cannot expand internationally because it would no longer be the NFL it would have to the the IFL...wouldn't it??😮😊
@psychopathyoutubeemployees280Yes. National Car Rental Field was going to be built for the Rams if they had stayed in St.Louis. However, Stan Kroenke, Jerry Jones, and the NFL illegally moved the Rams out of St.Louis because they wanted an NFL team back in LA.
All Steelers games are televised in Mexico City and the largest radio station in Mexico City broadcast all Steelers games as well! The Steelers have camps for adults and children every year in Mexico City!
This is all purely fiction. The NFL and owners have said multiple times already they have no intention of expanding anytime soon. They are happy with the current status quo. Hell the NFL just had not one but two teams leave their cities in the last few years for LA due to lack of fan interest and funding to build new facilities for their teams. Why would the NFL expand to even more cities that can't support teams financially or with fans. Both teams that moved to LA one of the biggest cities in the US are both struggling to fill their stadiums seats with true fans of their teams. More than half the people that show up to each game are fans of the visitors not the home teams. So how would a much smaller city ever be able to fill seats and sell enough merchandise to ever be successful in the NFL.
You looked at city size, and not metro area; but most glaringly, you left off San Antonio &/or Austin: San Antonio is bigger; but Austin, 80 miles away, already has the 100,000+ seat Darryl K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium. You also overlooked the biggest city begging for an NFL franchise: London, with a metro area bigger than NYC at 20+ million, and New Wembley Stadium.
Travel would be a nightmare for both London and his proposed Hawaii team. It's not just other teams traveling to those areas. The major problem is both teams would have EIGHT away games (meaning travel to the mainland) a year. That doesn't include any postseason games, if any.
No doubt the NFL has considered it, but London would be a logistical nightmare for scheduling. It's one thing to host a couple of regular season games. It's another trying to schedule for 8-9 home games and 8-9 road games. Can you switch week to week? What advantage or disadvantage does it gives teams to travel there? Do you have to consider having London play half of the season (8-9 consecutive weeks) there, with teams coming to them, and then the other half of the season on the road in the U.S.? It would be tough.
@@milescoburn1845 That can be fixed with London being in the NFC East, as it’s an easy flight from JFK, PHL, & IAD (but the Cowboys would need to be moved to another division, possibly with Houston & Austin/San Antonio & NOLA.
I can't see how the NFL can expand given that youth football participation in the U.S. is declining. In the future, the NFL simply won't have the pool to maintain the the talent level of its present teams let alone expanding that talent level for new teams.
Only a certain amount of athletes make it to the NFL, I'd like to see the league expand its pool of players, which would give kids more incentive to participate when they see their odds of making it increase
@@fred-s7e Canada doesn't have enough homegrown talent to support the CFL. There is any talent coming into league from foreign countries because football is almost wholly an American sport. This isn't baseball, basketball, hockey, or soccer.
@@GregoryBeckom The reason participation is declining in the U.S. is because parents don't want their sons to suffer brain damage. The motivation for sports participation shouldn't be because it offers great career prospects. That's not realistic goal for the vast majority of individuals participating on a youth level
@alastairpaisley6668 the league is now taking all sorts of measures to decrease injuries in general, especially compared to the old days. And is the research on, boxing, wrestling, rugby, competitive martial arts, and MMA fighting the same for brain damage
The only two places in the USA that should have the next NFL franchises are Lockjaw Alabama ( the Jawbreakers), and Cufflink N. Dakota ( the Links)🏈🏈🏈……….
Hartford - Not enough people and Patriot territory Oakland - Not enough money, if city has to lay off police and firefighters, then they don’t need a football team. Honolulu - Travel restrictions and team would have to build infrastructure around aloha stadium, which native hawaiians will never approve. San Diego - Residents are die hard Chargers fans and would be hard to sell tax increase to pay for stadium in already expensive city. Also Junior Seau is pronounced Say-Ow. Mexico City - city is located in high elevation with polluted air. Also, security issues with players and family would be an issue. Austin. San Antonio, Birmingham, and St. Louis are best options.
@@mcfly7 Nahhhh eastern Canadians r to busy worshipping the cult of Trudeau to have time for Football. I say the NFL should buy the Blue Bombers from the CFL and expand in Winnipeg. The CFL could take the money and bankroll a new team in Labrador or PEI. The Blue Bombers would make excellent rivals for the Vikings. An when the 2 teams aren't busy beating on one another they can look further west, the Vikings can continue to make fun of Montana for not having anything and the Bombers can continue to make fun of Saskatchewan and their Green Riders for being a bunch of 3 toothed banjo players stuck on welfare.

I'm I the only one that notices that you could build a dome stadium between Edmonton and Calgary like Red deer. Alberta and you would pack it full cuz most folks have money up there and they love the NFL. Big oil country call them the Oilers 😏
Is Red Deer far enough away from the -Eskimos- Elks and Stampeders to not affect them? Would the Canadian government be okay with NFL teams in cities that don't have the CFL like Quebec City and Halifax? Lots of questions to answer.
@@IlluminovaNibiru Red Deer is full of drunks who would rather drink until their livers explode then spend their booze money on a football ticket. Besides, the elks and stampeders would do everything they could including hiring multiple hitmen to keep a NFL team out of Alberta.
As a Canadian.... No. Focus on getting a Team in Toronto, then maybe Montreal. I'm from the West but even I understand the economics of that kind of expansion simply wouldn't work at this time or in the foreseeable future. Alberta, let alone Red Deer, wouldn't crack the TOP 50 potential Markets for NFL expansion.
The entire populated state of Utah essentially runs through a single fucking highway. If you are less than 60mi away you are essentially in the same city, just a different suburb. You can drive for 2 hours on the Highways in Toronto and still be in Toronto, Provo being 40mi from SLC means that it is a glorified suburb, not its own true significant city.
I'd Love to see Expansion to 40 Teams by 2060 (once I'm a Senior Citizen). It would include the long talked about EUROPE Divison (London, Manchester, Berlin, Frankfurt) & 4 new North American teams (Toronto, Austin, St. Louis/SD/OAK & either SLC/Port/ORL), along with a divisional restructuring. Toronto is without comparison the most important Market for the NFL to expand into during this century. It is the Fourth-Largest City and the Third-Biggest Media Market in North America and is ripe to finally build an NFL-sized stadium (look at the Temporary Venue being Built called ROGERS STADIUM). Instead of expanding into growing but small markets (like Austin/SLC) or going into failed blue cities like St. Louis/Portland, TORONTO is by far the perfect place for the NFL's next team. If San Diego really wants a team they can build a Stadium and get the Chargers Back, otherwise they had their opportunity and squandered it.
This is the singular DUMBEST video in all of youtube. None of these ideas make any sense. Seriously, don't do this if you clearly hate football and don't understand the sport.
I would add San Antonio, Birmingham, Memphis, and Orlando. I would drop Toronto, Mexico City, Hartford, and Hawaii. I'd also consider dropping OKC because, even though there are OU and OSU fan bases, few would buy tickets to a college game on Saturday and a pro game on Sunday-over $1,000 for a family of 4. Even the USFL 1.0 knew better and placed the Oklahoma team in Tulsa. Oklahoma Outlaws -Doug Williams was the QB. They played in Skelly Stadium.
I agree with others, San Antonio for sure should have been on the list. Another sleeper is Sacramento, which is already host to major sports teams. It, combined with Stockton and Modesto are the 20th largest media market in the country. The Sacramento metro area is nearly 2.5 million people. It is also the state capitol of the most populous state. And with the Raiders move to LV, the closest team is now the 49ers in Santa Clara, more or less 3 hours away, when typical Bay Area traffic is included. Another one you missed is London. And I could actually see 2 teams being put in London, so there would be a cross town rival, since they play 4 games a year there already each year and London is a massive city.

No one would want to ever go to Portland, Oregon. That is the most saddest and dirtiest city I've ever been to. Can you say Tent City? They would need to clean the streets up literally and get the huge homeless population a place to live.
Things have improved some. But even then,they were lucky to get the land for a baseball stadium for the MLB. Yes it would create an instant rivalry with Seattle, but the fact is that the city won’t approve as there isn’t enough land and property taxes are insanely high.
32 teams is perfect. 2 conferences of 4 divisions with 4 teams. Only thing I would change is that all teams have an out of country game. That's 16 total games. That way, all teams would have 8 home and 8 away games in the states with one game out of country instead of some teams having one more or one less home game as it is now.
@@chriskelly6559and which population wants to raise their own taxes to build a billion dollar stadium? San Diego has said no and would again.Oakland, too.

Come on people,NFL players play on below zero weather, Mexico City is not that bad👍🇲🇽🇺🇸
St. Louis needs a team. I’ve always said that St. Louis not Jacksonville should have received an expansion team.
Facts, and they should build the stadium in either St.Louis county or St. Charles County, away from the tiggers who are destroying the city each and every single day.
Especially when the jags owner is a st louisan. What the fugggggg
Khan was set to buy the rams and keep them in St. Louis. However, kroenke now being the majority owner after Georgia passed so had first right, came in at the 11 hour and bought them, killing Khans deal with the NFL.

Well, you come to the right place, I can predict that Caliente Casino will create the franchise and either expand Snapdragon Stadium to 70000 seats or build it next to Del Mar Thoroughbred Club (Jimmy Durante Way that is) capacity of 75000 would do the trick

The NFL should not expand again! The talent pool is diluted enough with 32 teams.
The talent pool is not diluted enough. That's why we have many major injuries. We need more teams to dilute the talent more
You bring up a very good point. 32 teams is too many when you look at the Jags and Titans in Jacksonville and Nashville, they may have been better off at 30
St Louis Missouri Needs An NFL Team They Should Get Their NFL Expansion Team First
They blew it twice, no strike threes , wrong sport.
Facts 😂 you blew it
They didn't blow it was greedy owners
The UFL suffices
Uh, sorry to disappoint you, but St. Louis will be well down the list. San Antonio is guaranteed a team. Salt Lake will probably get the second franchise. If the NFL expands further(unlikely at one time), then San Diego would probably be the third. Then maybe St. Louis? Or Oklahoma City.
St. Louis might be the 77th largest city, but the metro area has nearly 3 million.
Appreciate your positive take on St. Louis, that also was home to the football Cardinals before they left for Arizona, but i would be beyond stunned if the NFL came back here. The league does not like St. Louis for some reason and dragged the city's image through mud getting the Rams out of here.
0:55 The NFL and UFL should unite to construct the much-anticipated Proposed Oklahoma City Stadium, creating a premier venue that benefits both leagues and enhances the sports experience for fans.
Appreciate the San Diego love my man! One day we will have a team again!
The Chargers will return either by expansion or someone will buy them from Spanos and move them back.
Hopefully the Chargers will come to their senses and return to San Diego.
San Antonio - Pro: Large city and love of sports. Con: Jerry Jones would stop any expansion there as it would threaten revenue and attention from the Cowboys.
Austin: Pro: Mid sized city with sports culture (College football with Texas Longhorns and professional soccer with Austin FC). Con: lack of infrastructure for an NFL team. City would not approve funding for a stadium and other required construction.
San Antonio is a dumpster fire of a city. They don't even deserve an MLB team 😂

The problem with Portland is there isn’t enough land in the downtown area. Granted, they finally found a suitable location for a baseball stadium for the MLB. This is coming from someone who lives in the Portland area.
San Antonio is more ideal but you have to get through Jerry Jones who will not approve such an expansion unless he’s grown senile.
Oakland too. Just don’t expect the taxpayers to foot the bill to remodel the stadium 😅

Much hatred goes to the spurs from me, an im a san Antonio native
I believe the success of the okc Thunder showed we are capable of supporting a major nfl franchise
The NFL definitely should not expand!
Why not?
I agree. No need for another set of teams.
@@dennis22255 I also agree. 32 teams are enough.
St. Louis would be a good fit...
There should be facility ready in STL..
Training Camp at least for a few years could be held at Western Illinois University...
Thank you for mentioning Salt Lake City. We would love an NFL team here.
Hey, as long as Jacksonville is stripped of the team they never deserved, I'd be okay with it.
I would love to have NFL team in Utah but we are trying to get a MLB team first so I don’t know if we could build two stadiums unless we can expand RSL
SLC makes more sense than any other mentioned. Plus, it’s not a chithole over there yet. Keep those Liberaces out.
Toronto might have a lot going for it, but it supports all of its sports teams- except the Argos.
Despite the fact it's the only team in the city that wins stuff
San Antonio has wanted a team for decades, tried to get the Vikings years ago, the Riverwalk would look great on Sunday Night Football :)
San Antonio doesn't deserve a team
@@mystiquesports And you don't deserve both of your bran cells.
@@mystiquesports What do you have against San Antonio?
Jerry Jones
Right now the NFL has 32 teams and if the league were to expand in my opinion the total number of teams would have to go to 40 teams over a period of time. So, each of the eight current divisions would add an extra team. And, if St. Louis was awarded an expansion team would have to play in an new either fixed or retractable roof stadium. I would not want to sit through a cold outdoor game right on the river in either December or January.
or 36 teams in 6 conferences (AFC and NFC are unnecessary)
That was a great list.I like your top five much better than the bottom five. I wouldn't put a team in canada since they have so many regulations , there's baseball players that aren't allowed to play when When they're visiting toronto which is a total advantage for the for the Blue Jay's. I need to find out if this happens also to NHL teams.
I just checked canada has dropped the regulations on vaccines. However , took way too long and I still believe that Blue jays should have been playing in buffalo the whole time.
The NFL should get teams in Portland, Oregon, St. Louis, Missouri, San Diego, CA & Orlando, FL.
Portland has a better chance than the other 3.
They need to make the Saint Louis Battlehawks the NFL franchise. That city shows out for that team. They have a stadium. The NFL can help to renovate. Ask the CFL if they can pay for the rights of the name and logos, and there is the new team in a perfect location. They can be a part of the NFC West.
Agree here
You don’t care how big the city is, it’s how big the media market is. Also, NFL stadia go for about a billion dollars a throw and the league or any potential owner is going to expect the public to pay most of that. You’re also going to need 60,000 to 80,000 people to want to spend $250 or so per seat plus food, drinks, and parking (if you’re not attached to good public transport) at least 8 or 9 times a year. Seems like that eliminates most of these cities.
maybe... but there are easily 4 cities that are Stadium and Audience ready.
As long as the CFL exists the NFL won't try expansion. The CFL would have to fold first. Considering the grey cup is the oldest Chamption still being Defended today I don't see NFL team for along time .
An NFL/CFL merger would need to happen...and the Canadians are smart enough NOT to do that!
@@psychopathyoutubeemployees280 Smart???? Edmonton changed their footballs team name from the Eskimo's to the (shudders in disgust) THE ELK. An they did it just to appease a small vocal bunch of white guilt wokists. The Elk, pfftttt, next Chicago will be changing their NHL teams name from the Blackhawks to the fighting sparrows.
WRONG; this is the take of an uninformed & uneducated dunce who clearly has zero intellectual grasp of his own terrible point.
Nothing is stopping the NFL from expanding into Canada, specifically Toronto.
If you get injured playing in Toronto the health care is free right?
Do you think NFL players can't afford Health Insurance?
Your joke is dumb, illogical and just uninformed... Typical American.
Considering CANADIANS created Football, I Think we'll manage.
Any time Hartford is mentioned in a sports video, I'm playing 'Brass Bonanza' in the background. Regardless of sport.
What about Omaha Nebraska, Jackson Mississippi, San Antonio Texas, Austin Texas, El Paso Texas, Amarillo Texas, Albuquerque New Mexico, Santa Fe New Mexico, Boise Idaho, Bismarck North Dakota, Louisville Kentucky, Charleston West Virginia, Columbia South Carolina, Birmingham Alabama, Montgomery Alabama, Des Moines Iowa, the quad cities Iowa/Illinois, and my final location Cheyenne Wyoming that's my list of where I think they should put teams at
I love your list! We wanna see teams in new spots not same ol towns re-vamping a new team imo
I do conceive ideas of teams like the Omaha/Council Bluffs Tomahawks and the Kentucky Warriors (location - Lexington.)
Some of those cities are too small for major league franchises
The only feasible city out of all these is San Diego. They have the population density, money, fan base (San Diegans do not support the LA Chargers), and beautiful weather.
90% of all Charger fans are still from San Diego.
For me
San Diego
Columbus
St. Louis
San Antonio
Orlando
Memphis
Oakland
Portland
So you're an idiot, good to know!
Columbus, Ohio
@jasonjennings1979 yes
St. Louis, Oakland and San Diego have to be the first cities to get a franchise as they were ripped off. Oklahoma City should get one. I would add at least 4 teams over two years. I would add 4 more teams after 5-10 years , that’s when I would look at getting teams in Canada and possibly Mexico.
If TORONTO isn't at the top of your list, I know that it isn't well informed.
Got that right big dawg!! I'm from the Lou and we got screwed...TWICE!😂😂
Besides , the NFL cannot expand internationally because it would no longer be the NFL it would have to the the IFL...wouldn't it??😮😊
Again, San Diego would not build a new stadium to keep the Chargers. They will not build one for an expansion team.
13:57 The NFL and UFL should join forces in building the proposed National Car Rental Field for both teams
Wait, St. Louis already has a sponsor for the building?
@psychopathyoutubeemployees280Yes. National Car Rental Field was going to be built for the Rams if they had stayed in St.Louis. However, Stan Kroenke, Jerry Jones, and the NFL illegally moved the Rams out of St.Louis because they wanted an NFL team back in LA.
Important correction. The most popular team in México is The Pittsburgh Steelers. 🖤💛
All Steelers games are televised in Mexico City and the largest radio station in Mexico City broadcast all Steelers games as well! The Steelers have camps for adults and children every year in Mexico City!

No it's not.
😆🤣🤣🤣😆🤣😂 COWBOYS still lead the WORLD. Marketing FACTS don’t care about your feelings!
How is SanAnotnio Texas not in here
Because San Antonio is terrible city with a small TV market despite having the Spurs. 🤣
This is all purely fiction. The NFL and owners have said multiple times already they have no intention of expanding anytime soon. They are happy with the current status quo. Hell the NFL just had not one but two teams leave their cities in the last few years for LA due to lack of fan interest and funding to build new facilities for their teams. Why would the NFL expand to even more cities that can't support teams financially or with fans. Both teams that moved to LA one of the biggest cities in the US are both struggling to fill their stadiums seats with true fans of their teams. More than half the people that show up to each game are fans of the visitors not the home teams. So how would a much smaller city ever be able to fill seats and sell enough merchandise to ever be successful in the NFL.
Little ol' Green Bay seems to do all right...
You looked at city size, and not metro area; but most glaringly, you left off San Antonio &/or Austin: San Antonio is bigger; but Austin, 80 miles away, already has the 100,000+ seat Darryl K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium.
You also overlooked the biggest city begging for an NFL franchise: London, with a metro area bigger than NYC at 20+ million, and New Wembley Stadium.
Travel would be a nightmare for both London and his proposed Hawaii team. It's not just other teams traveling to those areas. The major problem is both teams would have EIGHT away games (meaning travel to the mainland) a year. That doesn't include any postseason games, if any.
No doubt the NFL has considered it, but London would be a logistical nightmare for scheduling. It's one thing to host a couple of regular season games. It's another trying to schedule for 8-9 home games and 8-9 road games. Can you switch week to week? What advantage or disadvantage does it gives teams to travel there? Do you have to consider having London play half of the season (8-9 consecutive weeks) there, with teams coming to them, and then the other half of the season on the road in the U.S.? It would be tough.
@@milescoburn1845 That can be fixed with London being in the NFC East, as it’s an easy flight from JFK, PHL, & IAD (but the Cowboys would need to be moved to another division, possibly with Houston & Austin/San Antonio & NOLA.
@@Playhouse76 It would take creative scheduling; and the games in London would need to be late afternoon or nighttime.; but it’s doable.
@@danschwartz5293 - You are a complete

Additionally, Orlando(Fla) and Birmingham(Ala). Both have stadiums and fans.
It was the Alameda County board of Supervisors, that ran off the Raiders
Utah has an NHL team now. The Phoenix Coyotes moved there this season
I can't see how the NFL can expand given that youth football participation in the U.S. is declining. In the future, the NFL simply won't have the pool to maintain the the talent level of its present teams let alone expanding that talent level for new teams.
Maybe talent from other countries like Canada and Mexico, London might be able to add on fresh players to the league?
Only a certain amount of athletes make it to the NFL, I'd like to see the league expand its pool of players, which would give kids more incentive to participate when they see their odds of making it increase
@@fred-s7e Canada doesn't have enough homegrown talent to support the CFL. There is any talent coming into league from foreign countries because football is almost wholly an American sport. This isn't baseball, basketball, hockey, or soccer.
@@GregoryBeckom The reason participation is declining in the U.S. is because parents don't want their sons to suffer brain damage. The motivation for sports participation shouldn't be because it offers great career prospects. That's not realistic goal for the vast majority of individuals participating on a youth level
@alastairpaisley6668 the league is now taking all sorts of measures to decrease injuries in general, especially compared to the old days. And is the research on, boxing, wrestling, rugby, competitive martial arts, and MMA fighting the same for brain damage
I didn’t think it would be at the top of the list or anything, but I was surprised Orlando didn’t get a mention.
Oakland football fans are loyal to The Raiders…even now with the team moving to Vegas. It wouldn’t work. Hartford, Connecticut is laughable.
Years ago the Patriots were considering relocating to Hartford (as well as several other cities in New England).

I agree with you we don't need to go to Canada & we don't care about the CFL.

TORONTO: YES... Portland: F'Off
I wish they had a team for every state or trying to make sure that there's one that every state can root for
Hartford - Not enough people and Patriot territory
Oakland - Not enough money, if city has to lay off police and firefighters, then they don’t need a football team.
Honolulu - Travel restrictions and team would have to build infrastructure around aloha stadium, which native hawaiians will never approve.
San Diego - Residents are die hard Chargers fans and would be hard to sell tax increase to pay for stadium in already expensive city. Also Junior Seau is pronounced Say-Ow.
Mexico City - city is located in high elevation with polluted air. Also, security issues with players and family would be an issue.
Austin. San Antonio, Birmingham, and St. Louis are best options.

@@mcfly7 Nahhhh eastern Canadians r to busy worshipping the cult of Trudeau to have time for Football. I say the NFL should buy the Blue Bombers from the CFL and expand in Winnipeg. The CFL could take the money and bankroll a new team in Labrador or PEI.

An when the 2 teams aren't busy beating on one another they can look further west, the Vikings can continue to make fun of Montana for not having anything and the Bombers can continue to make fun of Saskatchewan and their Green Riders for being a bunch of 3 toothed banjo players stuck on welfare.

I'm I the only one that notices that you could build a dome stadium between Edmonton and Calgary like Red deer. Alberta and you would pack it full cuz most folks have money up there and they love the NFL. Big oil country call them the Oilers 😏
Is Red Deer far enough away from the -Eskimos- Elks and Stampeders to not affect them? Would the Canadian government be okay with NFL teams in cities that don't have the CFL like Quebec City and Halifax? Lots of questions to answer.
Brillant. Red Deer!
@@IlluminovaNibiru Red Deer is full of drunks who would rather drink until their livers explode then spend their booze money on a football ticket. Besides, the elks and stampeders would do everything they could including hiring multiple hitmen to keep a NFL team out of Alberta.
As a Canadian.... No.
Focus on getting a Team in Toronto, then maybe Montreal.
I'm from the West but even I understand the economics of that kind of expansion simply wouldn't work at this time or in the foreseeable future.
Alberta, let alone Red Deer, wouldn't crack the TOP 50 potential Markets for NFL expansion.
1) Portland Oregon 2) Salt Lake City UTah 3) Louisville Kentucky
1) Toronto Huskies
Byu is in provo. The u of u is in salt lake get it right
The entire populated state of Utah essentially runs through a single fucking highway. If you are less than 60mi away you are essentially in the same city, just a different suburb.
You can drive for 2 hours on the Highways in Toronto and still be in Toronto, Provo being 40mi from SLC means that it is a glorified suburb, not its own true significant city.
interesting topic, good list, thanks. i like Portland, St Louis, San Antonio, Toronto, Nashville
Put the Bears in Anchorage!!!! Seattle needs a punching bag😂
Hope the Bears clip the wings off the Seattle shit hawks.
I'd Love to see Expansion to 40 Teams by 2060 (once I'm a Senior Citizen).
It would include the long talked about EUROPE Divison (London, Manchester, Berlin, Frankfurt) & 4 new North American teams (Toronto, Austin, St. Louis/SD/OAK & either SLC/Port/ORL), along with a divisional restructuring.
Toronto is without comparison the most important Market for the NFL to expand into during this century.
It is the Fourth-Largest City and the Third-Biggest Media Market in North America and is ripe to finally build an NFL-sized stadium (look at the Temporary Venue being Built called ROGERS STADIUM).
Instead of expanding into growing but small markets (like Austin/SLC) or going into failed blue cities like St. Louis/Portland, TORONTO is by far the perfect place for the NFL's next team.
If San Diego really wants a team they can build a Stadium and get the Chargers Back, otherwise they had their opportunity and squandered it.
This is the singular DUMBEST video in all of youtube. None of these ideas make any sense. Seriously, don't do this if you clearly hate football and don't understand the sport.
I would add San Antonio, Birmingham, Memphis, and Orlando. I would drop Toronto, Mexico City, Hartford, and Hawaii. I'd also consider dropping OKC because, even though there are OU and OSU fan bases, few would buy tickets to a college game on Saturday and a pro game on Sunday-over $1,000 for a family of 4. Even the USFL 1.0 knew better and placed the Oklahoma team in Tulsa. Oklahoma Outlaws -Doug Williams was the QB. They played in Skelly Stadium.
Dropping TORONTO tells me your opinon is uneducated as much as your try and fluff it up with nonsencial BS about your USFL knowledge.
I love Toronto, but they have their own football league. NFL is meant to stay in the U.S.
The CFL isn't that popular in Toronto, most of the people that follow football there are Bills fans.
Canada invented Football, it should have a team in the NFL
@adellis24 Canada did not invent football.
YES!!!!!!!!!! IT'S NFL!!! NOT IFL!!!
It would definitely have to change the name! NFL is a trillion dollar business....They will not do that😮😊
How about if they selected Boise, Idaho in next few years?
The Mexican NFL team could be called the CARTEL.
I agree with others, San Antonio for sure should have been on the list. Another sleeper is Sacramento, which is already host to major sports teams. It, combined with Stockton and Modesto are the 20th largest media market in the country. The Sacramento metro area is nearly 2.5 million people. It is also the state capitol of the most populous state. And with the Raiders move to LV, the closest team is now the 49ers in Santa Clara, more or less 3 hours away, when typical Bay Area traffic is included. Another one you missed is London. And I could actually see 2 teams being put in London, so there would be a cross town rival, since they play 4 games a year there already each year and London is a massive city.
Never in Toronto. It is in Buffalo territory
The Canadian government is the obstacle. That and Toronto's loyalty to the Argonauts.
PS - Toronto HATES both the Bills and Sabres.

No one would want to ever go to Portland, Oregon. That is the most saddest and dirtiest city I've ever been to. Can you say Tent City? They would need to clean the streets up literally and get the huge homeless population a place to live.
Agreed. This is a dumb video.
Things have improved some. But even then,they were lucky to get the land for a baseball stadium for the MLB. Yes it would create an instant rivalry with Seattle, but the fact is that the city won’t approve as there isn’t enough land and property taxes are insanely high.
32 teams is perfect. 2 conferences of 4 divisions with 4 teams. Only thing I would change is that all teams have an out of country game. That's 16 total games. That way, all teams would have 8 home and 8 away games in the states with one game out of country instead of some teams having one more or one less home game as it is now.
Nice try. NFL isn't expanding anytime soon.
Yeah man, the entry/buy in fee will be enormous for the ownership team, likely hundreds of millions.
