Driving really far to support a team kinda sucks. You can't tailgate or anything and its hard to rationalize driving home drunk for four hours.

This is partially why I wasn't into sports much as a kid. I lived in Idaho so the nearest team was either the Seahawks, the Raiders/49ers, or the Broncos, and none of them were within about 12 hours driving distance.

I'm going to be living in SA and then Portland for the foreseeable future so I hope this is true and then it goes badly enough that they take a hail mary and move to Portland. :getin:

Any team in Europe is going to be screwed travelling back and forth all the time, and no one is going to want to sign with them, so it's really a pipe dream that will never happen. And if it did, it would take massive subsidies and still be a disaster.

That's why you make an entire new division in Europe.

People watch and care about college ball because they have no pro team nearby. There, I said it. :colbert:

The only places I can think of with heavy college team participation but no pro team are like Alabama/Mississippi and like Oklahoma/Kansas (though the latter has the Chiefs I guess). Everywhere else either has a team, or doesn't really like football.

(There's also like Oregon but their and Oregon State's success have been a very very recent phenomenon)

Do either of them have a pro sports team of any of the big 4? NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL? I don't think they do.

There's some stuff in Tennessee but that's about it.

Louisiana also but everything there is in New Orleans.

Raiders should build a stadium that floats on the water and can travel around the bay

Fans would board the stadium on old fashioned wooden bridges

And then in the off season they can blockade Seattle until they get their booty.

A&M just spent $450 million on renovating their stadium. I haven't been yet but hopefully they at least got rid of the piss troughs.
