  1. NFL Expansion Project By: N. D. K. H. D. N. J. F.

  2. The NFL is expanding from 32 teams to 40. The Commissioner was planning on adding four new cities each to the NFC and the AFC. We had to find 8 new cities that had populations that could support a large franchise. We created 2 new teams in each region (North, South, East, West); one each for the NFC and AFC. Background

  3. We started by creating a map with the existing NFL teams on it. We used 2005 census data to approximate necessary population size and income level. We categorized possible cities using: Total population of that city Approximate population growth Average family income Process

  4. Current NFL Teams Blue Dots: Existing Teams

  5. The existing NFL cities’ populations range from a little more than 300 thousand people, to several million. We used these numbers to approximate how many inhabitants a city needed to sustain a NFL franchise. Population Range

  6. The median family income of the current NFL cities varies form over 70 thousand per family, to as little as 30 thousand Family Income Range • These numbers helped us estimate the family income necessary for an NFL city.

  7. The Population Range and the Family Income Range helped us realize that the population necessary is about 300 thousand people or more. The Median Family Income level also needed to be fairly high so that families could afford tickets to games, as well as merchandise and souvenirs. Ranges

  8. AFC: North : Omaha, Nebraska South: Fort Worth, Texas East: Virginia Beach, Virginia West: Albuquerque, New Mexico NFC North: Louisville, Kentucky South: San Antonio, Texas East: Raleigh, North Carolina West: Anaheim, California New Teams

Population: 1,256,506 9.1% growth rate Median family income rate: $47,150 per family Texas’s large area and population can easily support another team Already has over one million inhabitants and still has a reasonable growth rate. Already has a successful basketball franchise. NFC South: San Antonio Stars

  17. Population: 331,804 1.2% growth rate in 2005 Income rate: $55,478 per family California’s relative wealth can sustain another franchise California already has several successful pro sports franchises. NFC West: Anaheim Arrows
