Now that Vegas (Golden Knights, Aces, Raiders) and Austin (Austin FC) are out of the picture, what’s the largest city in the USA without a major sports franchise?

I’m thinking:

Oakland

Honolulu

Hartford

El Paso

Quad Cities

Quebec City

Phoenix

Norfolk

Inland Empire cities (but I consider this LA)

Anchorage

Albuquerque

Raleigh

Chattanooga

Boise

Phoenix once had every major U.S. pro sport: basketball (Suns), football (Cardinals), baseball (Diamondbacks), and hockey (Coyotes).

Bye, Coyotes!

It’s now the big 5 of major sports champ, Austin is also a completely different metro than San Antonio albeit close. I’ve actually driven between the two. It’s not like La to Inland empire where it’s constant city.

If you count soccer as a major sport, the largest metro area without a major team would be El Paso. If you don't count soccer, it would be Austin.

Greensboro and Raleigh are right next to each other. It’s Raleigh but the combined population of the metro area is immense. A team would have Greensboro proles commuting nbd. Proles love driving vast distances. Green Bay is far af from Milwaukee and nobody cares.

In contrast I hear plenty about the NHL despite never watching it. “Major sport” my ass.
