Outside of those 8, I would also add the Louisville/Lexington area, which would draw from both cities.
Riverside, California
Orlando, FL wants an expansion team
San Diego
Sacramento
Salt Lake City
Virginia Beach
Chicago (wants an AFC team in addition to the Bears)
Columbus, Oh
Oklahoma City
Portland, Oregon
San Antonio, TX
St. Louis
Add to those, Montreal, London, etc.
There is a laundry list of cities that would be smacking at the lips to have the Bengals.
Some of these cities just confuse me. Virginia Beach? Other than Huntington Ingalls, Sentara, Shipping and Military Bases in Norfolk and the Beach area, there is nothing there. As a matter of fact, I was in that area yesterday. By the time the season starts, all vacationers from the Beach and Outer Banks are gone.
Riverside - you are an hour away from Rams and Chargers. Sacramento, you have the Niners 90 minutes away. Both, small cities.
I agree that Kroenke wanted to move to a larger market despite St Louis concessions. But St. Louis is not a better market than Cincy.
