NFL: $15 billion MLB: $11 billion NBA: $9 billion

Its all a money thing, dealing with diminishing returns on leagues. What owner is going to want to cram a new team in a packed market when they could go out west to a open field.

I disagree it's a packed market is all. The DC and Baltimore metro areas are incredibly affluent with a moderate amount of stuff they can spend their money on. This isn't like Florida where people completely ignore even good teams at time like the Heat and the Marlins. Baltimore has a pretty rich basketball history. Any team and owner would do well here
