YOu have way too much time on your hands. I appreciate the effort, but dude...
At least I use my time in reasonable, informative, interesting subjects and methods. Not just to rant and gripe constantly. I do my share of that, but unlike you...it is only a share...not my entire product line.

.....boston braves are in Atlanta Half right.
I remember the Milwaukee Braves and Henry Aaron becoming the Atlanta Braves.
I also remember a friend of mine and I threw out ALL of our cards, complete late 1940s and 1950s and more with NFL complete team sets. Still sick about that one always tell my wife I could have bought her a Mercedes.

there's something to be said when a team moves and changes their name. Yeah move and the name stays the same and is stoopid?
I give you- Minneapolis Lakers- LA Lakers. The nearest "real' lake of any significance to LA is Tahoe, a 7 hour drive.
Arizona Cardinals. By way of Chicago and St. Louis. Aren't any Cardinals in Arizona that I know of. Rattlers? Scorpions?
Utah Jazz, (New Orleans) Pioneers would have been more appropriate.

This was an amazing effort on your part. It took great courage to answer these and to get every one wrong. I appreciate the effort though. I really do.

In the case of some of the above team, many/most did change their name upon moving. A few changed their name while being in the same city. Look at the Indians..fka Bronchos, fka Naps

Yawn, ask me in 2028, that's the year the lease is up. Told you a bunch of times, can't be broken. Sure, Haslam spent tens of millions of his own money on stadium upgades so he could move to greener pastures. Gips already pointed out, there really are none, at least those that would be willing to fork out a billion or two for a new stadium.

Boston Baseball Braves moved to Milwaukee in early 50s, then on to Atlanta in the 60s.
But...there was another Boston Braves in another sport...which is the other half of the answer to this question!
