Is tHe cHargers moving back to San Diego an option?

From a outside of USA perspective, relocation is the most strange thing in sports (with the absence of relegation). Normally in Europe and south America the top teams have a very strong relation with the community. Most because of the league formations, it took years to a team became a top tier team. In England a teams can't change neighborhood

I can't imagine my Jags moving. I know we're not that successful but it's all we got in JAX

Well, in reality, Jacksonville has already relocated to London, but they’re also still in Jacksonville.

Honestly Jacksonville only doesn't fill the building solely because of their performance. If you look back to right after their 2017 run to the AFC Championship game they were the number one seller of season tickets that off-season. If they would even put themselves in a position to contend for the very last wild card spot the fans would come out in great numbers.

Video idea: NFL games that started ugly but Ended in a thriller.

St. Louis deserves a new NFL team. It wasn’t nice of the Rams to leave them.

St Louis needs an NFL team, we loved the rams before they betrayed us and we are a great market for an nfl team

I agree with all the ideas you have, but I think San Antonio will be a better city for an NFL team, since Austin already has the Texas Longhorns which already has a big fan base.

How about Hartford CT for hockey. The whalers jersey is still one of the most popular jerseys based on sales figures in the NHL. They were near sellout crowds before Karrmanosoved them to North Carolina. Bring the NHL back to Hartford.

Problem with London is how long it takes to get opposing team equipment over there and also their’s back to the us

Correction jaguars to St. Louis

The Montreal Olympic stadium is not really a good option for an MLB Team or any major sports team. Wouldn't be surprised if the stadium gets scrapped in the near future.

We should get a new nfl division in San Diego, st Louis, San Antonio, and San Jose. Regardless, I feel really bad for San Diego losing the chargers. They deserve a new team

It’s not that us people in tampa don’t like the rays it’s just that the rays don’t play in tampa its in a terrible location and if you live in tampa it takes at least 30 to 45 min to get to the stadium if they moved to tampa the attendance would skyrocket

Honestly surprised Wisconsin has not received a NHL team. With the success of the NCAA mens and womens hockey teams in Madison. And there being a minor league team in the Admirals for many years. Would love to see a Wisconsin vs Minn rivalry

Jags playing in London is so unfair especially for West coast teams who have a whole 11 hour time change

The Sacramento Kings are not leaving they just got a new stadium not to long ago although my city of Seattle does need a NBA team again

Correction chargers have to go back to San Diego San Diego right now only has the Padres

The hornets have a contract with Charlotte for 16 years so relocating is not happening for a while

I’m so glad I’m not seeing the Carolina Hurricanes on these lists anymore. This season, across the first 6 home games, the team has averaged 18,170 (97.3% Capacity) fans per game, which is 7th best in the league right now, with the next game sold out as well. Last season, they averaged 17,210 fans which is very good coming right out of Covid (one of the few teams to grow). I’d also say Raleigh is ready for another pro team. The overall Raleigh-Durham market has 2.2M people in it, not including the 500k in Fayetteville or the 1.6M in Greensboro which are only an hour away each. In terms of sports, there’s only the college teams, and 1 major league team. The Canes. For comparison, Nashville has 1.9M people in it and has the Predators, Nashville SC, Titans, and NASCAR. Meanwhile, NC State and UNC football programs have 50,000 people at each game and the Duke and UNC basketball games are always sold out (note UNC has 22,000 seats). On top of that, NC State’s baseball program has also been selling out for years and the Durham bulls have been near the top of the MiLB in terms of value, following, and attendance. There’s also to consider the corporate growth, population growth and transportation growth. I mean, since Covid, Apple, Clorox, VinFast, Google, Meta have all established some hub or headquarters in the area. And now, Avelo airlines plans to base at least 7 aircraft at the airport by 2024 and the airport maintaining 3 successful flights to Europe without many connecting passengers. And for what it’s worth, the canes invented shared box suites and have sold out all suites and box suites since moving to Raleigh. This is exactly what the major league organizations are looking for, yet keep passing up Raleigh because of other nearby cities that are just a bigger name grab.

I love the US-Canada dynamic in the Big 4 sports leagues, especially the NHL. That being said, I do prefer that the NFL remain a US-only league. I love how NFL football is exclusively an American tradition that our whole country can share. Other countries are welcome to follow along of course, but keep the teams in the US please.

Jax moving to London would probably cause so many problems, finances for travel, Not sure a team of Americans would really be able to truly adjust to British Laws and people.

VIDEO SUGGESTION: 10 biggest disappointments in the NFL halfway through the season

No NFL team is ever going over seas. The logistical nightmare that would be along with the amount of bye weeks given to teams going there or them coming to the states would be a pain. Only way it would work is if there happened to be like 5 other teams around London as well but not sure if NFL is THAT big overseas enough to make it profitable or worth it.

The chargers should go back to San Diego. Also, they need to add a Baltimore Basketball tea,

Tbh Tampa Bay just needs a new baseball arena. They’re pretty good, but the reason fans aren’t there is because of where Tropicana is located and how frustrating the traffic is and whatnot. If they got a new arena, I’m sure plenty of fans would go. The Bucs and Lightning always have good attendance, so the Rays should get a new arena somewhere in Tampa and not St. Petersburg.

Honestly the rays don't have a problem with having a fan base it's just that people don't want to go to St Pete to watch baseball in a crappy stadium. Maybe if they could get a stadium in Tampa or even move them 2 hours down the road to Orlando they would get great attendance numbers and maybe even sell out some games.

Hey, Detroit deserves an NFL team and doesn't currently have one right now

Wouldn’t it be hard for an NFL team travel between London and The US?

San Diego deserves an NFL and NBA team. It's ridiculous all their teams keep getting taken away! I know the Padres will never leave. The fans are Die Hard for the Padres!

Keep up the good work

The Hornets won’t move as long as Jordan owns it. That’s his home.

if you’ve ever been at a marlins after party they are LIT and to move a team to a more “sportsy” city doesn’t mean it’ll do well

For the Kings, the support is still there, the numbers don’t tell the whole story. Once they show even a small sign of getting any stuff together, they’ll start selling out. Heck, the mayor of Sacramento even rallied to keep the team there. Seattle is better off getting an NBA expansion team. Las Vegas could definitely use an expansion team there also for the NBA. Houston would be a great market for a relocated NHL team, the MLB could use Nashville and Charlotte as expansion teams. For the NFL, the Jaguars could move to Austin, that would be a perfect fit for them, much more than London.

The Montreal Olympic stadium was never the ideal place for the Expos. They need a baseball stadium to be built first.

Florida Panthers are not leaving they have fans here just need competent ownership which recently they have just look at the marlins they love baseball here but hate losing bad organizations

I think the Coyotes would be better off moving to Milwaukee. Wisconsin is a huge hockey state. Milwaukee has a recently built arena in FiServ Forum which has hosted an NHL exhibition game. And there wouldn't have to be any divisional realignment.

If the jags remain a crappy team after moving to London it won’t take long for them to get bored and stop showing up. It’s a novelty right now and that’s why they are showing up. Give them a team that loses 12-14 games a year will absolutely kill that market

I'm a big hockey fan living in Houston, I'd love to have a team here. I think the city would def get behind an NHL team given how many transplants from Canada and around the US are here.

Hornets are never leaving Charlotte and the Marlins despite not having many fans are in Miami till at least 2049

I don’t know about Austin for an the Chargers. I think San Antonio makes a little more sense. But in either case, another NFL team in Texas just makes sense. Other than there, where would they move? Maybe Portland, OR? I don’t think Salt Lake would be a good choice. Oklahoma City could be an interesting possibility as well.

Also Marlins are not leaving they have a big fan base here it's just bad management for years and years especially when you have the heat that are the epitome of consistency and winning the marlins look so much worse for us

Do one where you list top 10 sports teams that should not move.

Me: sees the thumbnail for people to click Also Me: Agrees Greatly

As a houstonion, we’d LOVE a hockey team

This is the second time you've suggested the Kings should move to Seattle in a video AFTER they got a world class arena in Sacramento. What were your sources? Your last video on this subject??

About 2:55- 3:00(paraphrase)---" Montreal has an excellent facility in Olympic Stadium "---utter BS, the stadium issue was the #1 reason Montreal left for DC...a little research would have told you that...Tampa needs to be in TAMPA, not St. Petes...or Nashville The Cowboys and Texans will not allow a team in Austin, too close to their markets...San Antonio would be a better fit if a third team goes to Texas

video idea: how the nfl could change to 40 teams in the future

Yes we are not big on our own NBA team in Louisiana because most of us started following other NBA teams because we didn't have a NBA after the Jazz left to Utah

As an A’s fan, I would love if the relocation rumors was merely to San Jose. We have a passionate fanbase but many of us don’t want to give Fisher any money when the team gets rid of its best players.

The Jags can't move to London because there is no place for them to play. The pitch at Wembley and Twickenham can't handle a full NFL season so the only option is Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (who got a retractable 2nd pitch). There is no way Tottenhams owner will let a NFL franchise owned by Tony Khan (owner of their competitor Fulham) use it as a home.

There was also a talk back in 2007 or 2008 of the Bills moving to Toronto, but fear of the CFL's potential collapse prevented that from happening. If there's one area in North America where the NFL should definitely expand, it's to Canada. You'd probably have two or even three potential teams that could play in there (Toronto, Vancouver, or Montreal, plus either Edmonton or Calgary).

Move the OKC Thunder back to Seattle for the SuperSonics

In a way the Athletics already play in Vegas. That's where the Las Vegas Aviators (their Triple-A affiliate) are located.

I want Pittsburgh to have a basketball team I’m tired of not having a team to cheer for in Pittsburgh basketball wise

8. Sacramento Kings to Seattle: Not Happening Sacramento just got a New Arena there not moving

Sacramento just built a new arena. They aren't going anywhere.

I think a lot of people don't understand what the NFL is actually looking for if a team is to relocate. 1. Tv / Media market: London has a massive market for this. 2. Established base for fan travel: London has a major hunmb for international travel. Much like every other NFL team has access to a close, major airport. 3. Stadium Budget: The Jags owner already owns Wembly stadium in London, meaning they won't need to tax or crowd source funding. 4. Will the new market support the team better?: Jacksonville has struggled to maintain max attendance/season tickets due to the teams lack of success as well as the multitude of other options that a state like Florida offers. London has show sell out crowds left and right for concerts, Soccer and Football at Wembley which holds 90,000. The Jags would probably adopt a new fan base instantly as the only Euro team. 5. Travel: This will be the single largest hurdle to overcome. International travel would suck for the NFL and its fans. This alone could drive team expenses through the roof and limit fans traveling to support their teams. Overall i think they'll make a push for it, but its gonna be a tough sell to the league. However, the move makes complete sense.

St.Louis Spurs Pittsburgh Pacers (swap divisions with the Raptors) Baltimore Magic Seattle Supersonics (formerly the Sacramento Kings) Las Vegas Clippers

I would consider Edmonton Oilers moving to Portland, Oregon, and merging with Winterhawks.

Heard the majority of the NHL Board of Directors including the head are interested in having an NHL team in Houston.

Virginia is Waaaayyyyyyy overdue for a pro sports team. The Commanders may train in VA but they are definitely not our team. We want something here so bad! The Kings almost decided to come here too but nobody ever brings that up in videos, Virginia Beach Kings has a killer ring to it don’t you think?! And Richmond could for sure handle a pro baseball team if anything, already got the TripleA Richmond Flying Squirrels there for the Braves farm system. We are long overdue in VA!

i’d love to see baseball back in montreal, but olympic stadium is FAR from an ideal venue. also, as much as i wanna see the sonics back in seattle, i would never wish for it at the cost of the kings. sacramento fans kick ass

Wouldn’t it make more sense to move an NFL team to Canada? There are a lot of NFL fans in Canada and I think Calgary or Toronto would be great places for a team.

Kings have a new arena. They’re going nowhere.

2. Oakland Athletics to Las Vegas: I think this is sadly a matter or when rather then if

Bring a championship calibre baseball team to the South Bronx.Its been decades...

I believe the reason why Bettman kept supporting the Coyotes for so long is that he was the one who spearheaded the implantation of hockey team in the desert markets, thinking it would work. Relocating them would therefore prove that he was wrong, which he doesn't want to admit, therefore he treats them as the God Emperor of the league.

I think if the Kings locate, it should be either Cincinnati or Louisville. The Kings we originally in Cincinnati as the Royals so they have been clamoring for their return. And Kentucky is a big basketball state as well. So either city would be guaranteed big fan bases on both sides of the Ohio River.

Houston doesn't have a NHL team because of the Rockets ownership. NBA and NHL schedules overlap and the Rockets don't want to share.

The jaguars relocating to London will be pretty difficult for the away teams to travel each week in my opinion

The Coyotes games at Mullett Arena are so much fun tho! They were in awful location in Glendale. Move them to the East Valley and they’ll be golden.

I really don’t think the NFL will allow relocation outside of the United States tbh

I think it’s a dumb idea for the Jags to move to London for a few reasons. 1) It would devastate the Jags fan base with any move. While the Jags aren’t known for having a large, rabid fan base it would still suck. Being a Browns fan I know how this feels. 2) The travel there would be tricky. Moving equipment and such across country is hard enough, try doing it internationally. 3) There are closer, more logical locations if they are determined to go international. Mexico City is a huge market. It fits the AFC South. Games are already being played in that time zone regularly. Or you could go Toronto. This would likely require realignment but you could easily swap the Jags into the AFC East and move the Dolphins to the south.

Seattle and Las Vegas are not getting relocated NBA teams as they are on the top of the list for expansion teams instead as the league might expand to 32 teams very soon.

Good to see a TPS video about more than just the NFL.

Khan is investing a lot of money in Jax, and I don't see them leaving. They are finally getting things right with the team. Also London teams would face a logistical nightmare. I could see them trying to start another European league on a pro level, but there is no real farm system of college there that I know of.

The Kings aren’t fucking moving lmao they just got a new arena

Las Vegas? When the Raiders play home games .. its mostly the opposing team crowd cheering. It's like an away game but home

Here's how I think a London team could work logistically: The London franchise would have an east coast city like Hartford or Bangor as a home base. The players and coaches live there and that's where their practice facility is. Every Saturday night during the season they get on an airplane and return immediately after the game. In exchange for the travel hassle, players on the London team would get an automatic 3-5% bonus that doesn't count against the salary cap.

Pittsburgh needs a basketball team a what team would you think could relocate to Pennsylvania

I’d love for the chargers to move to San Antonio cause I live near there in Texas and it’d be fun to go and see them play

How about moving the Leafs to Quebec City so they aren’t the city of Torontos problem anymore?

A new montreal team would have to be NL have the marlins move to montreal and the rays to nashville

Noooooooooo my hornets would never leave Charlotte

Im a Jags fan from RI. Every year I go down for a game, the disrespect for the fanbase is unfair. The 2017 season when Myles Jack wasn't down i went down for the Seahawks vs jags game and the place was PACKED! One winning season since 07 I can't blame them for not going. Plus for some reason we always get like 3 September 1pm games where its almost 100 with zero shade to watch a subpar team. The fanbase is there its more loyal than most, but how much losing can we handle? Its painful at this point. BUT! With that said Ill be there in December haha

Ever since the rebrand from Hornets to Pelicans i noticed how the care and love the people here in New Orleans had just vanished. Nobody wanted the rebrand.

We may finally get back the Montreal Expos and the Seattle SuperSonics! And I’ve been waiting for the Athletics to get out of that awful Oakland coliseum for so long. Vegas is a nice relocation!

i say chargers to stl

No current NBA player has ever played against the Kings in the playoffs. 🏀

I used to cheer for supersonic as a kid. they should renew this franchise.

Disgusting that the Kings were on here

I doubt the Marlins would move without the league placing a new team in Miami, Florida should probably have 2 teams in every sport except maybe Hockey. Also I doubt the Hornets would relocate, I think that honestly Raleigh would be give a shot since they have Carolina, Duke, and NC State

The coyotes should go to Hamilton or at least somewhere in Canada. Houston doesn’t need an ice hockey team since it’s also a non traditional market

I saw Portland, OR as a landing spot for the A’s. It’d be a even better rivalry with Seattle.

The Las Angeles Clippers should move to St. Louis

Relocation Teams > NBA - New Orleans Pelicans > St. Louis - Sacramento Kings > Kansas City - Memphis Grizzlies > Nashville - Los Angeles Clippers > San Diego - Cleveland Cavaliers > Columbus - Chicago Bulls > Norfolk - Boston Celtics > Richmond - Brooklyn Nets > Harrisburg - Milwaukee Bucks > Louisville - New York Knicks > Jacksonville - Toronto Raptors > Tampa > NHL - Florida Panthers > Miami - Toronto Maple Leafs > Orlando - New York Rangers > Jacksonville - Winnipeg Jets > Atlanta - New York Islanders > Charlotte - Ottawa Senators > Norfolk - Boston Bruins > Richmond - Buffalo Sabres > Indianapolis - Pittsburgh Penguins > Harrisburg - Montreal Canadiens > Louisville - Carolina Hurricanes > Houston - Edmonton Oilers > San Antonio - Chicago Blackhawks > Oklahoma City - Vancouver Canucks > Salt Lake City - Anaheim Ducks > San Diego - Arizona Coyotes > Phoenix - Calgary Flames > Portland - New Jersey Devils > Kansas City >MLB - Tampa Bay Rays > Tampa - Baltimore Orioles > Charlotte - Pittsburgh Pirates > Harrisburg - Cleveland Guardians > Columbus - Chicago Cubs > Indianapolis - Chicago White Sox > Norfolk - New York Mets > Richmond - New York Yankees > Jacksonville - Toronto Blue Jays > Orlando - Anaheim Angels > San Antonio - Oakland Athletics > Las Vegas - Cincinnati Reds > Portland > NFL - Baltimore Ravens > Orlando - New York Jets > Louisville - Cleveland Browns > Columbus - New Orleans Saints > St. Louis - Buffalo Bills > Washington DC - Washington Commanders > Oklahoma City - Pittsburgh Steelers > Harrisburg - Cincinnati Bengals > Portland - Jacksonville Jaguars > San Antonio - San Francisco 49ers > Salt Lake City - Los Angeles Chargers > San Diego - Las Vegas Raiders > Oakland

As a Detroit Lions fan, I Wish the Fords would sell the team to someone who knows how to actually run a football team. That also entails most likely the team being moved as well which would not make any of us Detroit Lions fans happy

I thought I was the only one who thought the Panthers should move to Quebec City. And as far as the Chargers going to Texas? If they do San Antonio sounds the best location to me. And I'm pretty sure there will be baseball and basketball teams in Las Vegas sooner than later.
