Los Angeles needs a footbll team not Orange County whom used to host the Rams, LA is the place and they should build a new Stadium in Santa Monica near Venice that way people wont be hot>

If they ever did expand, I hope they would add two teams to keep the balance between conferences. They could set it up like the NFL: four 4-team divisions, and the 82-game schedule would look like this:\n\n- 4 games vs. each division opponent (12 total)\n- 3 games vs. each remaining conference opponent (12 teams - 36 games)\n- 2 games vs. each of the other conference opponents (16 teams - 32 games)\n\nThat's 80 games, and the other 2 games can be held on a rotating basis against teams in other divisions who finished the previous season in the same position in their own divisions.\n\nNow, where would they go? LA has two teams already, so Anaheim wouldn't need one. San Francisco/Oakland has Golden State and Sacramento fairly close by already, so they're out. The NBA's current geographical alignment is as good as it can be with the placement of franchises, even with the Hornets playing so much in OKC.\n\nI wouldn't mind seeing teams in St. Louis or Kansas City (Western) and maybe back here in Cincinnati (Eastern). Realignment would make things pretty wacky, though, and could mess up the nice balance the league has. Do they really need extra teams?\n\nIf you're talking about just moving franchises, then since it seems OKC is able to support a team, that would be a good place to go. I honestly don't see the need to move any, and since the divisions and conferences have geographic names, the alignment should be geographically correct as well.

I think the L.A. Stars had a nice ring to it, while being somewhat apporopriate for the locale.\n\nHowever, in keeping with the more traditional theme of animals, some that are native to L.A. that would make good team names in my opinion are:\n\nCoyotes\nBobcats\nMountain Lions\nGray Foxes\nRed-Tailed Hawks(shortened to just the L.A. Hawks, perhaps?)\nSea Lions\n\nThere are plenty more on the California Wildlife Center site at the following link, but not many of them would make good team names (The L.A. Striped Skunks, anyone?)  Link:http://www.californiawildlifecenter.org/\n\nIt's worth noting that a couple of these are already used in other pro sports and college teams as well, so they should be plenty suitable for a pro football team.\n\nLastly, if irony is on the new commish's agenda, he can name them the L.A. Temps, since they'll surely move out in a few years anyway...\n\nHope this helps-\n--J.

They have the market again, and either have or are building an arena facility that would be able to house another NHL franchise.  I feel they are a great option because of the lack of attendence in many US cities.

San Antonio - 7th largest city in the country - still has a Double A team for God's sake!  The Marlins came close to relocating here.  With 62% of the population being Hispanic, it should be the San Antonio Tacos, but would probably wind up being something like the Missions (the current minor league team) or Armadillos.\n\nLas Vegas will have a team in the next few years as well, either through expansion or relocation, just like San Antonio.  No way could Vegas call their team the Gamblers, so it would have to be something else, Desert Rats maybe.\n\nPortland is another good possibility.  Maybe they could call them the Sasquatches.\n\nAnother possible place is Charlotte.  I'd like the Charlotte Hicks or Hillbillies, but they'd probably be called something like the Racers to honor NASCAR (whoopie).\n\nAnd there's always the possibility of the Tidewater area of Northern Virginia which could take the name of the minor league team, the Tides.\n\nBuffalo is another good candidate, but the weather there is a big drawback.  Hard to tell what they would call them, the Bisons maybe?\n\nAnd one place you can be sure they WON'T put a team into is Montreal.  Think they learned their lesson there.

There has been a lot of debate about this topic in the past 5 years. As you know, Houston was the last city to recieve a nfl football team. First off, there has been talk about relocation of the St. Louis Rams. If this happens to be true, the primary locate of re-expansion is Los Vegas, Nevada. Los Vegas is number one on most lists. However, the actual staduim would be out of city limits. The next place that an nfl team could be molded is Lincoln, Nebraska. Thank you.

Pittsburgh, they have a good solid nucleus that is going to stick together. San Fran is so far out of contention it will be a long time before they are even in the playoffs again and Dallas needs to get a top QB before they will compete for a title.

I agree that they should open a team in Halifax,They should get moving on building  a new stadium for it.Ottawa may as well try a community based team, unless they can manage a dedicated,responsible owner No more flakey owners causing problems for the CFL.They should wait a year and get their act together.

After Toronto, look for Cleveland, Portland, Milwaukee, Rochester, Phili or St Louis.  MLS will need a team in the East to bring KC back to West, I'd bet on Cleveland or Milwaukee.

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.

The Raiders?  They finished DEAD LAST in the AFC West last season. That organization is in disarray- it's a good thing they re-hired Art Shell.\n\nThe Penguins?  They nearly finished dead last in the entire NHL this season! They're future with Crosby looks promising, though.\n\nPortugal is a contender, though not a front-runner for the World Cup this year by any means.\n\nIt's good to have favorite teams out there- but not good to have dilusions about how good they are.

If Gagne and Nomar come back healthy L.A. should walk with it, but I think it will end up being close between L.A. and S.F.  I think the Rockies will fall off soon and S.D. lost to much from last year and a .500 record won't do it again.

The Houston Oilers were NEVER displaced. They were MOVED to Tennessee, that was the entire franchise. If you are thinking of the Texans, they have also never been displaced. As to the Saints last year they played in multiple places. Some of their games were at the LSU Tigers Stadium. The others, played where the team wanted, were in San Antonio. That was where the team moved to and had their work outs. Basically the team decides where they are going to. As to where they play I'm sure part of the NFL rules would give about the distance but I think with a displaced team that is basically waived.
