Austin, Texas. Population around 900k. No NFL, NBA, NFL or NHL team. Only just getting a MLS team. College football stadium has an official 100k capacity, soon to be bumped to 112k.
Think something like 22 states (including Hawaii and Alaska in that) don't have an NFL team. It's likely why franchising and closed systems work for America. NFL is likely the peak money maker as they play the fewest games. Many neutrals can and will watch a game. Not many neutrals will watch MLB games as there's so many played in a season that you'll just about have time to watch your own team. Basketball might be a mix. Quite a lot more games than the NFL, but still half of what the MLB play so might get neutrals watching a big mid season match up.
