Chilichimp posted:Watt is basically the first coming of Clowney to the Houston residents. More like the second coming of Reggie White. It seems unfair to compare a (on track to be) future Hall of Famer to a rookie who hasn't played a down yet.

KettleWL posted:By MSA it's 22nd, and while it's only a few hundred thousand smaller than those cities you named, it's got an even smaller margin between it and Cincinnati, Cleveland, and KC, as well as Orlando, SA, Portland, and Sacramento. Really once you get past Seattle (#15) they're all within a few hundred thousand of each other, and mostly in the 2.x mil range. And most importantly the Steelers are doing well financially and the fans support them. So it really doesn't matter how the city itself does as long as the NFL keeps cranking out cash from there.

Leperflesh posted:Sacramento Raiders would actually make a lot of sense. Oakland fans can still get to games (it'll suck but it's straight up I-80), there's a big untapped market there, Sacramento has lots of room so I bet there's someplace you could plonk down a stadium, and it'd be thematically appropriate that our state's capital wears a pirate brand. That would own but the traffic would be terrible. I always took 680 from San Jose to Sac and there are long stretches of winding two lane highway that would probably become a parking lot. The twists and turns of the highway are pretty gentle, but for some reason California drivers always come to a stop for a mild curve on the highway.

Leperflesh posted:680 doesn't go to sacramento, it goes through concord and up to I-80. People in Oakland would just take I-80. The 680 corridor between Concord and I-80 is two lanes, as you said, so it's horrible for carrying a lot of traffic, which would make it harder for me personally to go up there. poo poo, you're right. I moved away over a year ago and I'm already forgetting how to travel there.
