>tfw no Alaskan NBA team
>>68882969
Not just saying this because I'm from here, but Kentucky is a basketball crazy state and having our own franchise would be awesome.
>>68882969
We need a team in Missouri, Tennessee, Kentucky, WASHINGTON, and Alaska which would be really cool
>>68883082
They should just expand to Cincy, you root for all Cincy teams anyway.
>>68882969
>>68883082
Honestly, the Kentucky high school basketball tournament should be on primetime television every year
>>68882969
Give one to St. Louis or KC
>>68883296
Memphis isn't in Tennessee?
>>68882969
god the negative headlines write themselves with a name like that
>>68883385
woops
hawaii can host a team. theres enough money and people there to sustain the team and there will always be some players who want to play there. only thing in the way is travel
>>68883360
>implying
1. Minnesota hockey
2. Texas football
3. Indiana basketball
4. California baseball
>>68883319
>>68883082
Louisville wouldn't be a bad option
It's about the size of Buffalo or New Orleans in terms of a TV market, I'm sure an NBA team would thrive there
>>68883082
>>68883435
We can call it the Louisville Punch
Team symbol is a fist
>>68883415
>Honolulu Volcanos
>Honolulu Sharks
>Honolulu Voyagers
So many great name possibilities for pro teams in Hawaii.
>>68883419
last time I checked they don't separate the schools by size so some small teams have gone far before
I grew up in Texas and never saw high school games except a few on Fox Sports Southwest; basically only if the big teams from suburban Dallas were playing and it was at Cowboys Stadium
>>68883496
time zone would not work imagine if they were in a playoff series lol
Hawaii Soccer/FIFA Team
>>68883514
Wow damn. In Minnesota the NHL arena is at capacity and it's a televised event.
That surprises me considering all the shit in media I hear about Texas high school football being so big
>>68883535
quit the timezone meme, I just want a new team in a new place.
>>68883535
It could work if the games in Hawaii started between 12 and 2 Hawaii time, that way it would air around 6-8 EST.
>>68883593
I was at the Wild game the day after the high school tournament they fucking wrecked the ice lol
oh Texas high school football is a huge deal but everybody just goes to the games lol; they don't have to put it on tv
I think in a few years when cameras / streaming are cheaper there will be a lot more coverage of regular season high school games especially big rivalry division games
but for now it all stays local, pretty much
>>68882969
I've always wondered why Kansas doesn't have a professional basketball team considering we have KU, KSU, and WSU for basketball colleges. Would make a great feeder, desu.
>>68883622
>implying you wouldn't watch a live NBA game after last call
>>68883419
California baseball? Wtf are you talking about
>>68883641
They used to marathon the State championship games from lowest level to high all at Jerryworld was comfy af but Houston cried that they wanted a chance to hold it and it wasn't half as successful
>>68883701
pearland kicked ass a few years ago and then there was a fucking bank robbery like the next day lol
Las Vegas NBA Team
Hawaii FIFA Team like Wales and Scotland
>>68883784
they tried to secede
their efforts were struck down as unconstitutional based on racial discrimination lol
>>68883819
I think the whole reason they want to secede is because they want sports team. Plus a lot of them depend on US handouts
Honestly having grown up in South Texas they need a fucking MLS team; the Monterrey Mexicans drive over to the Valley after every FMF game to celebrate, get drunk, shop, whatever and I KNOW they'd fill up a stadium for a chance to watch some of the foreign players or, you know, not have to deal with the rowdiness of the Mexican games
Needs more alliteration
>Huntington Hooters
>Vermont Vandals
>Cheyenne Coyotes
>Louisville Laserbeams
>Honolulu Humpbacks

>>68883897

Salt Lake Spikes for any SLC/Utah team
Las Vegas Vagstompers
>>68883673
Most baseball players come out of Cali so I assumed
>>68884286

Omaha needs a pro sports team. Most sports obsessed city in America
A MLS TEAM IN FUCKING ARIZONA
>>68884450
