  • San Antonio is just the hostage city these NFL teams use to make demands on their current city.

    Not a bad relocation site for The Browns. At some point, 4- 12 is going to get old.

    I'm pretty partial to the Reynoldsburg Roosters near E I-70 and I-270.

    Okay, what about this....

    In 10 or 20 years would the Bengals ever consider it?

    If the Browns didn't leave in 1995 but instead left in 2015 would they have gone to Columbus?

    It's only been in the last decade that Columbus, OH went from being a sleepy "Cowtown" to major growing metropolis. The Capital City has a huge population, big corporations headquarters, major university (very important), greater for young and middle-aged people. I mean it makes so much sense on paper anyway.

    Not anymore, San Antonio is moving to make this happen.

    Maybe they could change the colors to scarlet and grey and call themselves the ohio buckeyes to siphon off some of that winning tradition.

  • As long as JERRAH owns the Cowboys...... No team will ever start up in San Antonio

  • Cleveland got the rust belt tough thing going.

    Cincinnati got the crazy southern hilljack thing.......

    Columbus is like a big giant meal with no seasoning......any where usa.

  • well with the browns showing interest in columbus through a TC situation and the nfl not saying no it would seem likely something would happen in columbus. not saying a permanent nfl team being there but maybe a game or 2 being played there during the regular season by the browns and bengals. bring more revenue, nore 'on-the-fringe' fans and the nfl has a footprint there just like they do when they send teams to europe or mexico.

  • Columbus absorbed the entire county which is why there population is the largest. Louisville did the same thing in Kentucky.

    Thats a fair point. Not sure the league would go for it otherwise you'll get teams doing the same thing all over the country.

    My thought is that Columbus is not on the radar right now....BUT, it will be when the population clicks over 1,000,000 in roughly a decade.

    Nobody legitimately saw cities like Jacksonville, Indianapolis, or even Seattle getting teams! However, these cities population, media size, and other factors were impossible for the NFL to ignore.

    You know "That State up North" ??

    Well Detroit is a sinking ship and there is nothing that says the Lions have to stay in the Motor City!

    yeah but any true fan of the nfl would hate to see a team move from their place in history. you've never had to deal with it. browns fans have and believe me you don't want to be in the crowd fighting for your team to stay in pittsburgh when roooney just decides to do a money grab and move to columbus or marietta or louisville cuz the city of pittsburgh won't give him what he wants.

    i can't believe there's not more of a huge cry-out for the fans in st. louis. i mean it seems like no one gives a shit. and then 2 other cities in cali thinking about moving and the fans just are like 'whatever'.

    you never know what you had until it's gone.

  • Poor St. Louis......it's terrible losing your team, but twice??....I doubt they ever get another chance....
