so of the poorly performing attendance teams, which cities would be a viable choice to relocate to? obviously OKC is ready for a team maybe louisville KY, but they would have to compete with UK and would possibly face the same problems the grizzlies do in memphis. vegas? albuquerque? kansas city? just looking at the top 50 US cities, the majority of them either have teams already, or are within a two hour drive to the nearest team. perhaps another option would be to try canada again or perhaps mexico. http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0763098.html
