The OKC Lions Football Team?

OU playing surface is too small.
Meaning room on the sidelines.
San Diego is not out of the woods in moving due to stadium issues.
And the sidelines are at the Q are much wider.
what about St. Louis or Vegas over Mexico.
LA is number one Toronto or St Louis next not OKC sorry.

Saint Louis needs another team?

They'll go to LA or San Antonio, I suspect. We need to prove we will support NBA basketball before any other professional team owners will look at us.

LA Lions actually has a nice ring to it......

I do agree that a team in Mexico City or Toronto is more likely to happen than a team moving to a smaller market like OKC/Tulsa or San Antonio.

Toronto is hungry for the Bills. I've read that 40% of Bills season tickets are owned by Torontonians, and on game days, Buffalo is filled with Toronto license plates (even more than usual). There are over 6 million people in the Greater Toronto Area, and tens of thousands of them are Americans. An NFL team would go big.

I still think OKC can't go wrong putting the preliminary plans in place, though. Who would've thought OKC would have an NBA team when so many cities of such larger size don't. We moved to the head of a line that included St. Louis, Kansas City, Tampa, Pittsburgh, Portland, Las Vegas, etc. Football is huge in Oklahoma. I'm not sure OKC could pass LA, Toronto, or Mexico City, but we should start the long-term planning anyway.
