Portland Oregon is the best market for affordability of a pro team. They have attempted to woo the Expos there but to no avail. They would defenitly be named the Oregon Lumberjacks, or the Portland Pioneers.

First...... L.A??
Umm this had been tried already Twice. The L.A. Rams and the L.A. Raiders. Both teams failed miserably in that market. The teams could not generate the revenue's needed to keep the teams there. It's true. Look it Up Al davis ran from la screaming because he was going broke. The St. Louis franchise tried that place too and it didn't work. I do kind of like the Vegas idea. I don't know exactly how football would be dealt with there because it is so tourist oriented, it might be hard to get money into the franchise because people come to vegas for a lot of other reasons. Portland. Naah.. I'd maybe try a canadian franchise or two. Basketball didn't fo real well because it is so american oriented, as is baseball. Football however is a really strong force in the world of canadian sprots already. The CFL is a respectable construct in the frozen north. they already have a really strong fan base to tap into and some decent stadiums to work with. I think canada. Montreal, the city and the team name is Montreal Moose. They do have a lot of moose up there. Or just whatever city and the call the team the carribou.

The communities might desire to no longer generate the gross sales's needed to maintain the communities there. this is genuine. look it Up Al davis ran from la screaming because of the fact he replace into going broke. The St. Louis franchise tried that place too and it did no longer artwork. I do form of like the Vegas theory. i don't be attentive to precisely how soccer may be dealt with there because of the fact it is so vacationer oriented, it may be puzzling to get money into the franchise because of the fact people come to vegas for distinctive different motives. Portland. Naah.. i might in keeping with risk try a canadian franchise or 2. Basketball did no longer fo genuine nicely because of the fact it is so american oriented, as is baseball. soccer besides the fact that if is an particularly sturdy tension in the international of canadian sprots already.

How about the Las Vegas Stardust?
Los Angeles Quake? or Los Angeles Blitz?
Really though, Vegas will probably get a NBA team first and see if it can support it before getting an NFL team. The NFL in LA is certainly a reality because the NFL wants all the bucks generated from the #2 TV market in the country. They really are not worried about attendance revenue, its the TV revenue that keeps teams afloat.

I would go to a city where college football is big, but they have no team in the area to support, like Omaha. They have a medium sized city, the capability to expand, and it's a couple hours away from Lincoln and the most supportive football fans. Oklahoma City would be another choice.
As far as team names go, maybe Oklahoma City Bandits, or Omaha Blazers.

Since most of the "Major" cities in the US already have a NFL franchise, I would like to see a couple in Canada like the NBA MLB had done Toronto would be the most logical

There aren't many teams in the upper western states, so maybe the Helena Elk, Boise Spuds, or even the Cheyenne Wranglers.
