Would Utah support a NFL team?

[Brown Notes]

I doubt the NFL would do it they want to go to LA or international.

Absolutely. So many Utahns are rabid for college football here, I feel Utah would do great with an NFL team. Even with all the Mormons not going on Sunday.

Not a chance. However, I think we would have a chance at an NHL team. That would be sweet.

I think Utahns would love the team. I don't think Utah is a big enough market to attract the NFL.

I voted no. I don't think we could or would support an MLB team either unfortunately.

How well do we support our AAA team? What are they called the Bees?

 

[Scorpjazz]

HaHaHaHaHa...NO WAY!!!! Utah could not would not support an NFL team


edit....although if Utah did get a team, the local market wouldnt be forced into watching the Hideous Horse Riders from the east on Network TV at least. Might be worth it.

If all we're talking is putting butts in a stadium for 8 games a year, of course Utah could handle it. I still think we're about a million people short on the Wasatch Front of actually getting a shot though, but I would happily renounce my Raiders fandom in a second if it were to happen. I ****ing hate the Raiders.

There is either a contradiction in your life that you haven't dealt with, or you are in a serious state of self loathing. I'm a Bills fan... I understand.

It's not going to happen. Not for a long time anyway. I would of course support the team, they would become my 2nd favorite team. I find it hard to fathom they could replace my J! E! T! S! JETS! JETS! JETS!

We shall call our team the Utah Pioneers and our dome stadium will be called The Covered Wagon.

I don't think there would be a problem at all filling up a 70,000 seat stadium 8 times a year, no matter what day the games are played on. I bet the 2 preseason games would get 80-90% capacity as well.
