football fuckerman posted:The problem of LA is that it allows every team to hold its city hostage for favorable stadium construction and renovation terms so get a team to LA as soon as possible There's dignity in losing a team to a major city. When the team says "we'll go to LA!" you're like "well we're not NYC or LA so how can we compete!" It's more of an insult when a team threatens to decamp to places like San Antonio, Kansas City, or Portland. When its one of that tier you're like "our city is better than that place!"

The average NFL city has a metro population around three million, so NYC should have six teams. I started to ponder the issue of where teams could go if they wanted to go up to 40 and all I can think is 1) San Antonio isn't bad, 2) Virginia Beach is probably wiser than Richmond, and 3) the South needs a city that's not Atlanta for a major city.

Henchman of Santa posted:Closing in on 2 million fast? Doesn't it have like 400,000? The city, yes, the metro is like 1.8 million. Metro matters more than city. Fairfax, VA isn't even close to largest city in Virginia but Fairfax County has three times the population of the second most populous county. It's also twice as big as DC itself (DC's like 650,000). DC's a great example. More than half of DC's metro population isn't even in its side of the river. DC metro's just under 6 million and 3 million of them are in Northern Virginia. rjmccall posted:I object to all of Hampton Roads being called Virginia Beach. Well you see no one outside of Virginia has ever heard of Hampton Roads. You go to, like, Chicago and say things like Hampton Roads and the Northern Neck and people got no idea what you're talking about.

You could put a second team in Pittsburgh, call them the Other Steelers, and have exactly the same uniforms except with the logo on the left side of the helmet. It would take about four weeks for there to be fights in the streets over which Steelers was better.

Sounds like the problem was thinking you could build just a 60 story building, let alone anything else, for $200 million, rather than some sort of political boogey man. You can't even build a subway station in Virginia for $200 million.
