Targeted for my Major League Relocation and a Wider Geographic Swath

These franchises are targeted throughout my blog for either relocation or co-location (sharing).
And we're considering the economic time of expansion teams, so I'm considering expanding the turf with existing teams.

You'll see that I'm not the biggest fan of Yankeeland, like Tampa baseball.  But I am a fan of the California Angels and the Florida Marlins.  Bigger swaths.  Wider claims.

It's talked about throughout my other blog posts.

NFL:
St. Louis Rams
Jacksonville Jaguars
Oakland Raiders

honorable mentions:
Saints

Look at my blog for things like the West Coast Raiders

possible places standing to gain:
Portland, Oregon
Vancouver, Canada
Birmingham, AL
Jackson, MS
Little Rock, AR
Memphis, TN
Las Vegas, NV
Louisville, KY

MLB:
Tampa
Miami
Oakland

'Nuff said.  Move the Rays out of Tampa to a more appreciative location.


possible places standing to gain:
Monterrey, Mexico
New Orleans
Portland
Charlotte
Nashville
Memphis
Louisville
Indianapolis

What would be considered adequate facilities for what would be an essentially MLB travel team would be interesting wouldn't it?

West Coast Angels in the City of Sin as well as Portland/Anaheim/Sacramento?
Or better for the West Coast Athletics to co-locate or vacate the stadium 17 miles away from the Giants playground?

Absent Montreal and now nudged against Baltimore's turf.


Multiple places being considered for one team, some other cities enter the fold for these wonderfully State-named teams:
The populous states of New York, Florida, Texas and California.
Austin/San Marcos/San Antonio and even El Paso with the Rangers
Buffalo and Albany for the Yankees
Oakland (maybe after they move) and Sacramento for the (once) California Angels
Florida Marlins of Miami, Tampa (after vacation (vacating town)) and Jacksonville...or wouldn't it be convenient for visitors of Orlando's Disney World?
No matter the sport, Arizona could do a few stints in Las Vegas, right?

Pro Hockey in the Southwest

NBA:
Memphis
L.A.x2


Milwaukee?
I would love sharing the Cincinnati Bucks if I can't reasonably argue the Cincinnati Celtics.

possible places standing to gain:
Las Vegas
Seattle
Kansas City/St. Louis
Cincinnati
Pittsburgh
Baltimore

West Coast Clippers of Seattle, San Diego, Honolulu, Anchorage and Las Vegas?

NHL:
Florida
Nashville

standing to gain:
Atlanta
Quebec City
Seattle
Portland
Las Vegas
Cincinnati
Milwaukee
Cleveland
Indianapolis
Baltimore
And more..... .

MLS:
The only thing I'm really drumming up is for my hometown interest.
Having the Columbus Crew becoming the Ohio Valley Crew or Blue Collars and swinging Cincinnati and Cleveland into the fold.

And many many more... .
