Teams and metropolitan areas

 * See Related changes to list all recent changes in each article linked to from this page.


 * Sort order:
 * CSAs by population
 * MSAs by population
 * Metropolitan Divisions (MDs) by population
 * Oldest teams first
 * "Population" refers to 2005 Census Bureau estimates.
 * MSAs that are not in CSAs are sorted as if they were CSAs.
 * For teams in Canada, the CMA population is used.

Conferences and divisions

 * Note: not the actual conferences and divisions used in each league.


 * Suggested realignments for the four major North American sports leagues for the following cases:
 * 2 non-geog. conferences, 3 divisions in each (current MLB, past NFL)
 * 2 non-geog. conferences, 2/4 divisions in each (past MLB/NFL, current NFL
 * 2 conferences, 3 divisions in each (current NBA/NHL)
 * 2 conferences, 2/4 divisions in each (past NBA/NHL)


 * Aligned such that:
 * Cities (metro areas) rather than teams are placed in divisions: any rivalry beginning with one sport can then be carried on to another
 * With non-geographic conferences, metro areas with multiple teams in the same league have those teams in different conferences to allow such things as one NL and one AL team, or two teams from the same metro area in the championship
