Trying to figure out another market or two...
48 team major league. Trying to figure out where to relocate one of my teams. Where am I missing. Don't want microsmall towns or names that are "funny" just looking for semi-plausible ideas for more places to stick teams. I'm fine with things as-is, but i tend to just go to the same places...looking for my next long-term location for a franchise.
Ideas? Here's the current landscape. NATIONWIDE LEAGUE NL EAST New Jersey Generals San Juan Autos Boston Yanks New York City Invaders New York Gothams Philadelphia Quakers NL WEST Los Angeles Red Roses (Red Sox) Salt Lake City Alpines San Francisco Peanuts Colorado Cubs Edmonton Electrics Seattle Pilots NL CENTRAL Indiana Racers Milwaukee Zephyrs Austin Outlaws Chicago Red Caps Kansas City Natives Detroit Pontiacs NL SOUTH Charleston Palmettos Baltimore Atlantics Florida Rockets Washington Maroons Virginia Mariners Louisville Spires ALLIED LEAGUE AL WEST Hawaii 59ers Portland Beavers Boise Cutthroats Arizona Wrens San Jose Acorns Los Angeles Bruins AL EAST Brooklyn Originals New York Knights Toronto Blue Collars Providence Oaks Worcester Hearts Montreal Players AL SOUTH Memphis Hounds Amarillo Gold Sox Jackson Cottons New Orleans Alligators West Virginia Alleghenies Houston Cosmos AL CENTRAL Dayton Tigers Eau Claire Paws Great Plains Flycatchers Cleveland Spiders St. Louis Aviators Chicago Rogues |
Here are the teams in my league that you don't have:
Dallas Vancouver Minneapolis San Diego Columbus Cincinnati Las Vegas Charlotte Atlanta Also, might you want to think about expanding across the Atlantic or down south into Latin America? |
1) Why is San Juan in the NL East, rather than South?
2) Is Amarillo really big enough to support a major league franchise? 3) I would suggest San Antonio, but proximity to Austin may pose a problem (realistically speaking, in game it wouldn't matter) 4) As masongb points out, there's no Dallas, Vancouver, San Diego, Vegas, Charlotte, or Atlanta; I would choose either Cincinnati or Columbus, not both. 5) In which city is your Virginia team? The Virginia Beach area is quite big with all those medium sized towns, but there is also an almost as big Richmond market. 6) The last part of question (point) #4 suggests to pick between Cincinnati or Columbus; but you already have a West Virginia team, which would likely be located in Huntington, whose proximity to Columbus would realistically be a factor. 7) In which city is your Florida team? There are 4 major markets in Florida, all distinct from one another; Miami, Tampa-St. Pete, Orlando, and Jacksonville. As well as some mid level markets like Sarasota-Bradenton, Pensacola-Tallahassee 8)Anchorage Alaska |
I don't really care about reality in this scenario. Just FYI. That's why Amarillo (and Boise, et. al.)
I'm more interested in good names and interesting stories, so long as the towns aren't tiny. I mean, in a real life simulation no way you'd put a team in Green Bay if we were remaking the NFL. Good questions. Anchorage is interesting. I moved Hawaii to the mainland. San Juan is in the east because of the Puerto rican population in NYC and Philly would probably make them a better draw there than down south. I did have them in the South originally. I only try to speckle a few major league cities in with lots of non-ML cities intentionally because I like to mix the stories up some. |
Albuquerque perhaps? :)
|
Havana and Mexico City would each lend themselves to many stories.
|
I actually have a Caribbean Division in my fictional league. Havana, San Juan, Santo Domingo, and Kingston (the last just because I was stuck for a fourth, and had the logos and uniforms already).
|
The key part is having the uniforms and logos already. I try to use stuff that I already have a look for because it helps with immersion. This has helped a lot guys, thanks for chiming in.

I recently set up a 96 team league, 48 AL teams and 48 NL teams, with locations largely based on market size. Here's my league setup, might give you some ideas...
AL East Boston Red Sox New York Yankees Baltimore Orioles Philadelphia Athletics Orlando Predators Ft. Lauderdale Tarpons Charlotte Knights Norfolk Tides Richmond Squires Ottawa Lynx Connecticut Defenders Newark Bears AL North Chicago White Sox Cleveland Indians Detroit Tigers Minnesota Twins Toronto Blue Jays Kansas City Royals Indianapolis Arrows Green Bay Blue Sox Toledo Mud Hens West Michigan Whitecaps New York Giants Rochester Red Wings AL South Tampa Bay Rays Dallas Rangers Birmingham Barons Memphis Redbirds Greensboro Grasshoppers El Paso Diablos Colorado Springs Sky Sox New Orleans Zephyrs Austin Express Oklahoma City 89ers Arkansas Travelers Wichita Wingnuts AL West Los Angeles Angels Oakland Athletics Seattle Mariners Portland Beavers Vancouver Canadians Spokane Spiders Las Vegas 51s Tijuana Potros Long Beach Armada San Jose Owls Los Angeles Stars Hawaii Islanders NL East New York Mets Philadelphia Phillies Miami Marlins Washington Nationals San Juan Senadores Raleigh Bulls Brooklyn Dodgers Albany Senators Providence Grays Montreal Expos Charleston River Dogs Boston Braves NL North Chicago Cubs Cincinnati Reds Pittsburgh Pirates St. Louis Cardinals Milwaukee Brewers Fargo Red Hawks Omaha Storm Chasers Iowa Oaks Columbus Clippers Louisville Colonels Buffalo Bisons Peoria Chiefs NL South Atlanta Braves Houston Astros Jacksonville Suns Nashville Sounds Ft. Worth Cats San Antonio Missions Mexico City Diablos Rojos Monterrey Sultanes Corpus Christi Hooks Tucson Sidewinders Albuquerque Isotopes Tulsa Drillers NL West Los Angeles Dodgers San Francisco Giants San Diego Padres Colorado Rockies Arizona Diamondbacks Riverside Pilots Fresno Grizzlies Salt Lake City Bees Tacoma Rainiers Sacramento Solons Calgary Cannons Boise Hawks In reality Madison, WI or St. Paul, MN would be a better choice than Green Bay had I strictly gone by market size but I liked the idea of White Sox-Blue Sox rivalry. |
