Their study determined that the minimum requirement of Total Personal Income (TPI) bases for an area are $104 billion for an MLB team, $48 billion in the NFL, $45 billion in the NBA, $50 billion in the NHL, $14 billion in MLS and $26 billion in the Power Five. So, that's:
$104B MLB More than double of all the others. Good luck getting a team, unless you can perhaps entertain my tag-travel-team model. ie. West Coast Athletics (Portland or Vegas and Oakland) and the East Coast Rays of Charlotte and Tampa.
$50B NHL
$48B NFL
$45B NBA
$14B MLS
Their best-suited list:
- Major League Baseball (MLB): Montreal
- National Football League (NFL): Los Angeles-Anaheim
- National Basketball Association (NBA): Las Vegas
- National Hockey League (NHL): Houston
- Major League Soccer (MLS): Las Vegas

While the NJ sandwich can be stretched as a metro area in between Philly and the Big Bite Apple, it's no city. And while I appreciate disclosure and thoughtfulness towards expansion, alignment that puts Colorado and Minnesota in the "South" and the Rays in the north is hard to be serious about.
