It appears Theo is contracting them all by himself. |

Yes. Very misleading thread title Brick. You're above this kind of shock thread-starting. |

Well everyone he promised a team to in Tampa is probably dead now anyways, so that works out fine. Team #2.....................? Houston....nope.... San Diego? Not after they get the new TV deal and start spending Pittsburgh?..............................? |

Pittsburgh & Minnesota have new stadiums, so no. Houston is a pretty big market w/ an influential fanbase (Barbara Bush), so no. This would be my list: Oakland Kansas City Arizona Colorado Cincinnati or Cleveland Detroit Baltimore |

They have a shitty old venue and no working plan for a new park....and regardless of how good they are 80 yr old yankee fans will not attend unless.....the yankees are playing them. |

Most of the teams you've listed have "new" stadiums. KC just had a major renovation (which, you know, Jerry can relate to also). I'm not sure Jerry cares about new stadiums for other teams (except for the Cubs, obviously). UMN - he means what other team besides Tampa. That's a given. |

The League probably cares about new stadiums, so The Chairman's opinion on that may not matter if it differs. |

In that case...probably Oakland or Arizona. |

Oakland Kansas City Arizona - newer than the Cell Colorado - newer than the Cell Cincinnati or Cleveland - both newer than the Cell Detroit - newer than the Cell Baltimore - newer than the Cell I did this off of the top of my head, but pretty sure I'm close. Cinncy is newer than Detroit for sure. |

I'm just saying, from Jerry's perspective, all of those stadiums are "new". |
