Talk:List of American and Canadian cities by number of major professional sports franchises

Teams per league
Should we add a note to the number of teams in the CFL to mention the Atlantic Schooners? Or is it not considered a "sure thing" yet? The upcoming NHL and MLS teams are mentioned, but those are about as guaranteed to happen as anything in professional sports could be. I'm not sure if the Schooners rise to that level yet. --Khajidha (talk) 18:26, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

Seattle
The Seattle Kraken are officially considered an operating team even if their inaugural 2021-2022 NHL season has not started. They are able to sign players, make trades, and do everything the other 31 franchises can do.

Population ranking
Since we're already counting US states and Canadian provinces together, it seems a little silly to relegate DC's ranking to a footnote about where it would fall "if it were a state". --User:Khajidha (talk) (contributions) 14:50, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

What leagues to include
This has been talked about before, but, considering this includes the CFL, and CFL teams are at best valued around $50 million (https://www.insauga.com/hamilton-tiger-cats-receive-highest-valuation-in-cfl-history-report/)... it does beg whether things like WNBA (which have slightly less but similar likely team values, https://herhoopstats.substack.com/p/wnba-team-values-sale-worth-2021... and the 12-team league & teams were just valued at $1 billion a few months ago), or even the National Lacrosse League (most likely right now at best worth $10-15 million, but, their team values are growing). More just to the point that just because the CFL has been around forever and the NFL isn't in Canada, doesn't mean the CFL necessarily belongs with the "Big 4" (or even MLS).

States listed as having former sports teams
A map in the "Teams by state/province/territory" section includes several states that have 0 teams, but formerly had a team. These states include Nebraska, Iowa, Kentucky, Connecticut, & Rhode Island. I am confused about which teams this map is referring to or even the criteria for attaining this rank. Does it include former professional leauges like the ABA? It might help to include citations or links like the more prominent chart in the "Teams by metropolitan area" section. Does anyone have the answer to this? Ledvelvet21 (talk) 17:02, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

San Francisco Bay Area Population
Seems Demographia didn’t include Oakland in the San Francisco Bay Area population. 2607:FA49:5902:B300:A17E:A417:15BE:45DB (talk) 04:29, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
