Washington-Baltimore will pass Chicago in size before the end of the decade and already has 2 NFL, 2NBA and NHL and NBA teams. The Bay area isn't far behind.

Washington and Baltimore are not even interdependent enough for the US census to consider them one MSA, they just happen to be an hour drive from each others downtown (if the roads were clear).

The Bay area cities are almost the opposite, not really the center of their market but some have more name recondition.

To resurrect a zombie thread lol.....

I saw this on the book of face and thought it was a great looking logo if nothing else.

Wow, the NBA Oklahoma City Thunder and the NFL Oklahoma City Chargers--great pair to promote and grow our city :biggrin: .

We haven't begun to collect funds for a $900 million downtown arena to support our Thunder. A decent NFL stadium (something with a roof) would cost another $1 billion for bare bones minimum. Don't underestimate that Oklahoma City couldn't build an retractable roof or domed stadium; however, we don't have the population base within our MSA (1,477,926) to support NFL; 510,000 short or the corporate support. You would need to ask the voters to build a $2 billion arena-stadium complex for OKC's future.

Besides the Dallas Cowboys would not be to keen on an NFL franchise in Oklahoma's largest city--Jerry Jones would fight like hell to keep the NFL out of Oklahoma, just like he would if a Texas MSA like San Antonio-Austin wanted an NFL franchise.

NFL has a 0.00 chance of a relocation or expansion franchise in Oklahoma. If the Chargers were to leave L.A., San Diego may be better suited with an MSA population of 3,269,973 for NFL and NBA franchises.

Can't say I disagree with any of that. I don't even watch American football *yawn* - but the names would mix nicely and the logo looks cool.

Although Oklahoma City doesn't have the corporate strength to support an NFL franchise, just like the attention OKC continues to garner from the NFL.

Would Oklahoma City voters like to vote YES to raise sales taxes to build a 1 billion dollar pro football stadium? if no, then why not invite a billionaire, like Musk to pay for the stadium? And buy a pro football team to come to OKC. Musk is believed to be worth over $400 billion. Maybe investment in Oklahoma City could aid him in becoming the world's first trillionaire.

This wouldn't be a far-fetched idea - except it would be in Austin, not OKC.
