U.S. states without major sports teams : ウィキペディア英語版 | U.S. states without major sports teams
There are currently 24 U.S. states without major sports teams, when major league sports are defined as Major League Baseball (MLB), Major League Soccer (MLS), the National Basketball Association (NBA), the National Football League (NFL), and the National Hockey League (NHL). ==Reasons== The reasons for this are mixed. Often it is because of a lack of population density or size in a single city or even an entire state. The lack of density hurts television contracts, advertising, ticket sales, attendance, and city/state funds for the required facilities and salaries of the players. In many cases a "home" fan base may span several states, as with the New England Patriots (and, though not in name, the Boston Red Sox), Carolina Panthers and Dallas Cowboys. Even though the Patriots and the Red Sox both play in the Boston area, each team has many fans in Rhode Island, Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, as do the Boston Celtics and Boston Bruins, to a lesser degree. (The Patriots' stadium is actually closer to downtown Providence than it is to downtown Boston.) And while the Panthers and the NBA's Charlotte Hornets both play in Charlotte, North Carolina, both teams have fans from all over the Carolinas. The Cowboys, meanwhile, often have fans in other parts of Texas, as well as in Oklahoma. Similarly, fans of Pittsburgh franchises can be found in West Virginia (mainly in the northern half of the state), fans of Philadelphia teams can be found in Delaware and New Jersey, fans of Kansas City teams can be found in Kansas, Nebraska and the southern half of Iowa (while northern Iowa natives are often fans of the Minnesota teams, along with natives of North Dakota and South Dakota), while Idaho and Oregon natives are often fans of the Seattle Mariners and Seattle Seahawks, Utah natives are generally fans of Colorado Rockies, Denver Broncos, and Colorado Avalanche, and fans of San Fransisco and Oakland teams are frequently located in Nevada, Dallas sports fans can be found in New Mexico and Arkansas, and fans of Washington, D.C. teams can be found in Virginia.
