of only 2 cities to have 2 NFL franchises to move to it. LA being the other.
STL is not only, in fact, the #1 US City on the NFL's expansion list - again that is fact!, but most of the owners are infsvor of filling the largest market by far without an NFL & one that dwarfs some current NFL cities (clearing throat!!!!), while making things right for the city that has shown huge support for the NFL & being home to the largest sports marketing & advertiser in the world & history of the NFL!!
The potential ownerships group her also checks a lot of boxes for the NFL (that would be groundbreaking) but I'll explain that another time.
Nobody said the NHL's ratings are equal to the NFL, but, confusingly, you are comparing apples to oranges due the length of the season & amount of games. An NHL team has much greater attendance over the course of a season than an NFL team for the most part & many more TV appearances/marketing opportunities.
Also it is not even arguable that the growth of Hockey in the US is exponentially greater than football. I'm factoring Youth Leagues, etc. Hockey continues growing, while football has plateaued or worse!!
Just the facts, Jack! Don't shoot the more than informed messenger!
