Over the years, a number of teams in the National Football League (NFL) have moved on or joined.
In the early years, the NFL was unstable and teams often moved to survive, or folded only to be raised in different cities with players and owners alike. The Great Depression era saw the movement of most of the small-town NFL teams that survived to big cities to ensure survival. Merging Franchises were very popular during World War II in response to the scarcity of players. Some of these relocations and mergers are accompanied by widespread controversy.
The franchise movement became much more controversial at the end of the 20th century when the much more popular NFL, free of financial instability, allowed many franchises to leave long-held forts to see the greener pastures economically. Although Pete Rozelle pledged to Congress not to relocate the franchise in return for a law that freed the league from certain aspects of antitrust laws, allowing the AFL-NFL merger, some franchises have been relocated in the years since the merger and the passage of the law. (Public Law 89-800) that supports it.
While the owner always cited financial difficulties as a major factor in such a movement, many enthusiastic fans denied this dispute, especially in Baltimore, St. Louis, and Cleveland, each of whom finally received the team a few years after their original franchise went. However, Los Angeles, the second largest media market in the United States, has no NFL team from 1995 to 2015. The League has begun actively promoting a return to Los Angeles no later than 2006, and in January 2016, the NFL grants St. approval. Louis Rams to return to Los Angeles. A year later, the San Diego Chargers are also moving into town, while Oakland Raiders is scheduled to move to Las Vegas in 2019 or 2020.
In the United States, the San Diego-Tijuana market is currently the largest metropolitan area (and only one with over 3 million inhabitants) without the NFL franchise. The only other seriously considered city in the country is San Antonio, Texas, which the Raiders consider seriously a relocation candidate in 2014 before choosing Las Vegas instead. Speculation about future relocation is primarily centered around two major cities outside the United States: Toronto, Canada (the National Football League in Toronto) and London, England, United Kingdom <(> qv Potential London NFL franchise ) , the latter will be the first attempt by one of the premier professional sports leagues in the United States and Canada to place teams outside of North America.
In addition, with the rise of US suburbanization, the construction of new stadiums and other suburban club facilities instead of the city center became popular since the 1970s, although at the turn of the 21st century the upside shift back to the city center. become somewhat clear.
