    Tusla

    Urban Honolulu 

    You got half of them....highlighted above with their rank.  

    Rochester is #13 on the list; Tulsa is #17 and Tuscon #18,   Richmond is way way down the list...so far I didn't even count. And Honolulu is not on either of the lists I consulted....so I don't know what the issue is there.

    Austin & surrounding area has grown so much they are way overdue for a major sports franchise.

    How about Baton Rouge?

  • You jumped the gun on the merge.  I was still giving time to this one....but, OK  I will give the answers:

    Name the 5 cities that never had a team:
    Akron, Ohio;
    Canton, Ohio
    Columbus, Ohio
    Dayton, Ohio
    Duluth, Minn.
    Erie PA
    Evansville, Indiana
    Ft. Wayne, Indiana
    Hammond, Indiana
    Hartford, Conn.
    Kenosha, Wisc.
    Louisville KY
    Mansfield, Ohio
    Massillon, Ohio
    Muncie, Ind.
    Newark, NJ
    Portsmouth, Ohio
    Pottstown PA
    Pottsville PA
    Providence, Rhode Island
    Racine, Wisc.
    Rochester NY
    Rock Island, Illinois
    St. Louis, Missouri
    South Bend, Indiana
    Staten Island NY
    Toledo, Ohio
    Tonawanda NY
    Youngstown, Ohio
     
    So, of the list:  Erie,  Pottstown, South Bend, Youngstown, and Massillon have never had an NFL team.   All the other cities did have one at one time. 
     
    Additionally:   the Portsmouth Ohio franchise....known as the Spartans there is still with us now known as the Detroit Lions.   Some claim there is a lineage for the Indianapolis Colts going back to the Dayton Triangles...but I personally am not sure about that.

  • Name the 10 Largest Metropolitan areas in the USA that do NOT have a team in one of the 4 major sports leagues:  NFL/MLB/NBA/NHL

    Answers:

    1. Austin  TX    2. Virginia Beach/Norfolk   3. Greensboro  NC   4. Louisville KY  5. Greeneville/Spartanburg  SC   6. Hartford  Conn.   7. Grand Rapids Mich.   8. Birmingham Ala.   9. Fresno CA   10.  Harrisburg Pa.    and 11 is   Ft. Myers/Naples  Fla. 

    While I did not include the MLS.....which maybe in a few years will have to be included in what constitutes a "Major" sports league in the US and Canada......Austin  IS  scheduled to have an MLS expansion team begin play in 2021.   When that happens it will be the ONLY city with an MLS team but not a team in the other major sports.

    Soccer is big in the school system all around Austin & surrounding area, so that's a good move.

    Trivia trick question: Who is the most famous soccer player ever to come out of the Central Texas High School system? Here's a hint. Someone still pays him after more than 20 years as a pro.
