the New Jersey Nets are moving to Brooklyn. Do you think any other teams MLB NBA or NFL should change cities?

No, there will never be a team in CT. Too close to Boston and NY City. As a Connecticutter you either like the Sox or the Yanks, you like the Patriots, and you pick the Celtics or the Knicks.... MAYBE there could be a NBA team then.\n Florida doesn't deserve baseball teams. The Devil Rays AND Marlins should bail on that loser state.

I think you have the stadium in Irving, Texas confused with another. Are you sure you aren't thinking of the superdome in New Orleans??? That would be the home of the Saints. I haven't seen or heard anything about the Cowboys getting a new stadium.

I think that Canada could get an NBA Team again because of the rising popularity of basketball in Canada, with the Toronto Raptors and all that, so I believe that if Canada gets another teem again, next destination: Vancouver, British Columbia because they already had an NBA franchise, so they might move the Memphis Grizzlies back to Vancouver sometime in the future. But I'm not sure whether this can happen or not.

Oh, it's going to happen. This will be a slow process as you will see a game here or a game there broadcast on the NFL network (such as one of the Thanksgiving Day games this year). As each season goes by, more and more games going to the NFL network. Eventually, the big contract in the sky comes due and the major networks will not be able to match the money the league will be able to net sending all games to their own network. Maybe 7 to 10 years. The NBA is making moves that are similar as well.

I believe there has been a lot of talk on that subject, most recently San Juan, Puerto Rico was a serious contender for the Expos franchise but MLB decided on DC.I believe Mexico will be a great market and Puerto Rico filled the ball parks for every game the Expos played there 2 years ago. I would love to see that we Latinos are well represented in MLB and in my opinion Mexico and Puerto Rico would be front runners in that quest.Great Question !!!!!!

I see your point, and perhaps it's time they just change their names, but the location of the games does not determine the area they chose to represent.\nThe Giants and Jets rent the stadium known as Giants Stadium, or the Meadowlands if the Jets are home. However, this is primarily due to financial reasons that make it more profitable to play in Jersey while not actually becoming a Jersey team due to tradition of the teams' names. Remember, neither the Giants nor the Jets own the stadium; they just rent it from the NJ Sports and Exposition Authority. It's cheaper to do that than to try and build a new stadium somewhere in NYC.

Join the club... I live in Raleigh, but grew up about an hour from the Bronx in an Italian family.  I think I'd be disowned if I ever chose any other team.

not if you own a business California has a reputation as being downright hateful towards businesses due to oppressive taxes.\n\nDodgers are just going back to Brooklyn where they started. The Chargers may be moving to Los Angeles where they started i also heard a rumor they were going to start calling themselves the California or Southern California Chargers and play in SD and LA. They were the Los Angeles Chargers in their first year. I think the Giants were also originally in another city the 49ers may just be moving to a new stadium.

I no. they should sell their teams to other cities in the us so other people can have a shot. Dont go support those horrible teams

There are already too many bottom feeders (I know I'm from Detroit!!) to expand to more cities although a couple more to make each conference have the same amount of teams would be the best situation.\n\nWith Canada having the CFL and Toronto already having a good football team, it is HIGHLY unlikely that there would be an expansion to compete with the CFL. (An interesting alternative to that would be to combine the CFL and the NFL... Hmmm would it work??)

Its probably going to be moved to Las Vegas or Portland, much like the Florida Marlins if they move. \n\nEven tho I live in NC and would love to see a MLB team here. SC NC VA and TN are minor league baseball country, and thats never going to change. \n\nI think however that the Royals will stay in KC. Too much heritage there with Brett and Co.

Yeah I guess they could be real but I don't think they're gonna go all the way.You probably did not know but the Nets used to be an ABA team. When the 8 team NBA was losing money the manager brought the 4 best teams up from the ABA. They were the Nets, Pacers, Clippers, and Super sonics.

No your friend was wrong. The NY Giants and the Brooklyn Dodgers left NY after the 1957 season. The Dodgers moved to Los Angeles and the Giants moved to San Francisco.\n\nThe NY Metropolitans (one of the coolest names in baseball) were created out of a threat by Branch Rickey to create a third major league: The Continental league.\nThe threat of a new league was backed by New Yorkers who wanted a national league team to support as opposed to the Yankees in the AL (and the other side of the city from the polo grounds and ebbets field).\n\nThe Mets were created as an expansion team (along with the astros) in 1962. \n\nFUN FACT: They wear blue to represent the dodgers and orange, along with the NY Giants old logo, to honor the giants.\nThe team is named after an old team 100 years ago named the New York Metropolitans.\n\nAlso, the Mets were bad at first becuase they took former ny giants, brooklynn dodgers, and yankee players instead of young talent becuase they wanted to get the sentimental fans.\nThey played at the Giants old field in Manahatan, The Polo Grounds for 2 years before moving into Shea Staduim (which is decorated in blue and orange) and their new staduim in 2009 will be designed to look like Ebbets Field.

Not Las Vegas.  There is a reason why there is no MLB, NBA or NFL team operating from there. Thats because Vegas has a transient population and not a 'home' presence.\nI think the only obvious location would be North Carolina (somewhere in the RTP Triangle area) because of the sports fanatics, administrative facilities and infrastructure, amazing opportunity and a wealth of talent from good schools and programs nearby. \nAnd also, because football belongs in the East. Period.

I doubt the Texans will ever move, seeing how they have that nice, state-of-the-art stadium there, built just for them only a few years ago.\n\nFrom what I've heard over the past couple of years, the teams most likely to relocate would be the Vikings and the Saints, but time will tell if other teams threaten to move. I always thought the Cardinals might be better off in a larger market (since they're fairly irrelevant anyway), but they also have a new stadium on the way, so they're not going anywhere for awhile.

I like interleague play.  My only complaint is that they should move one of the NL teams to AL, balance out the leagues and then play it like the NFL does with interconference games.  I'm a huge Met fan.  Is it fair when you are battling a team like Florida that they get 6 gms a year against TB and we get 6 gms against the Yankees?  They should have five teams per division per league, have 18 games against division foes and then 6 apiece against everybody else, including rotating interleague play, so that for example everyone in NL East plays everyone in AL East 6 times.

I'm not the first person to suggest this--Kansas City--but let me explain why.\n \n Kansas city is in the center of a hotbed of hoops lovers\nhttp://maps.google.com/maps?q=Kansas+City,+MO\n\nTo the west you have Kansas, and kansas loves the Jayhawks.\nTo the south you have oklahoma and okcity has gone Cuckoo for the hornets.  And to the north you have Iowa, who has no professional team(just like Kansas and Oklahoma) so they would latch on to the proteam just like fans in the region already love the chiefs.\n\nNone of this mentions that St Louis folks would make this new team thiers.  Missouri loves basketball.  And the state would make it the state team, kinda like everyone in Missouri loves the chiefs and the cardinals.\n\nAlso, KC once had a successful team, the Kansas City Kings.  They reacdhed the western conference finals in 80-81, KC needs  another chance.
