    Not to sound like a jaded sports fan but it's bound to happen. So which city is next?

    Kansas City, Buffalo, New Orleans, and Jacksonville are playing in stadiums that are for some reason labeled as "old."

    San Diego can't be left vacant forever, right?

    San Antonio/Austin are getting so big even Jerry can't keep another team out of Texas

    Thoughts?

    I can't really see any teams that I would move at this point.
    I think the ownership group in Buffalo is committed to staying there. But if not there, I'd venture a guess that Toronto would be the likely location.

    The Jags, I read that they're finally not tarping off the upper decks for next year. But, Jacksonville is kind of a hole. I imagine that if/when the Jags relocate, the NFL will get their wish when the Jags go to London.

    I don't think that KC will ever leave Arrowhead. And while maybe the Saints get a new stadium, I don't see them leaving New Orleans.
    If anything, I see expansion teams. The problem is, I don't know how to do that without completely screwing up the divisions.

    How about the Colts move to San Antonio, the Ravens move to Indy and the Browns move to Baltimore. It would almost be like it never even happened. :cool:

    I can't see any relocation of any NFL teams at the moment. Other than the Chargers all the teams mentioned above
    have really good fan base. Hell La can't/won't support 1 team let alone 2. With 10 million potential customers that is pretty sad.

    No way LA supports two teams. One of those two move, probably the Chargers. Then maybe Jacksonville. SA sounds like a good landing spot. Can't think of another off of the top of my head. Please God, no teams to London or anywhere outside of North America.

    It's not so much about 2 teams in LA, It's just that Chagrgers are pretty hated in LA, this was a marketing scheme from Spanos, they even used a dodgers logo for chargers new logo but fans totally clowned them so they went back to their old logo...People in LA definitely support both Rams /Raiders not so much Chargers though ...

    I think the Raiders would draw anywhere, like the Steelers.

    The league got the LA TV market they were after so new moves don't make sense.

    Until Groenke Taj Mahal is built. The Rams still will not sell out. That is how bad the LA market is .

    To be fair, the Colliseum seats >90,000. It's also in a sketchy part of town, plus there are still bunches of Ram fans who can't get over Georgia Frontierre!

    Santee there are 10 million people in LA and still won't support the team/s remember why the Rams moved to St Louis.
    Just not into pro football.

    True, football is the poor relation behind baseball, basketball and hockey. Remember the movie, "Major League?" It's rumored that the team owner in that movie was patterned after Georgia. There are still lots of Rams fans in the greater LA area but, they'll (smartly) never embrace the Chokers!
