They are looking to go to big cities but yet they will head to a city of 800,000 some people in Northern Alberta, yup that sounds like a great place to promote the game.

There is probably an owner in Denver that could help them out with that.
Bashing cities because they are not NFL worthy is silly. Frankly neither city is NFL worthy ... btw the comments about if you understand the NFL then you know why it wouldn't work is bang on.
This isn't hockey ... nor is it baseball or basketball, it is a superior model that will not comprimise its self to put a team in Canada. Why take on FX risk? play in a poor stadium in a country that is allergic to public support into sports facilities?
Plus the money isn't made at the game, it's made on TV, and NBC/Fox/CBS could care less about the Cdn market.
