	you forgot the portsmouth spartans, which is where the lions franchise began

	Think about adding San Antonio, which hosted the Saints the year after Katrina. Not official, but worth thinking about.

	Fidelio:	Jan 27th, 2010 at 12:01 GMT	6 points
	If we're getting into technicalities, like San Antonio temporarily hosting the Saints, then cities East Rutherford, NJ, and Miami Gardens, FL, should also be accepted, and that would be a pain.

	Decatur had the Staleys, who moved to Chicago to become the Bears.

	Clemson, SC was host to the Panthers for one season before the stadium in Charlotte opened in 1996

	The Bears played in Champagne,IL for at least one season while Soldier Field was being renovated.

	When the Chiefs were first in Kansas City, they were a "shared" team with Omaha, Nebraska.

	No love for the Decatur Staleys?

	bsd987:	Jan 27th, 2010 at 16:26 GMT	3 points
	@Hamburger - Are you sure you're not thinking of the NBA franchise? The Royals were a shared team, but I've never heard of such a thing for the Chiefs.

	While the AAFC and NFL merged, the NFL has never considered the AAFC as part of the NFL's history and never merged the stats/franchise histories. Those teams, such as the Miami Seahawks, should not be on here. AFL teams, on the other hand, should be.

	As already stated, you are missing a lot of cities. And maybe San Antonio and Baton Rouge could be bonus answers for the Saints (not to mention New York/East Rutherford as being a bonus for the Saints too). Also, Packers played one or two games in Milwaukee for 60 years; they should be listed for Milwaukee.

	I think giving the name of the state/region where the city is not in it makes it too easy. I would drop all of those.

	Thanks everyone for all the feedback and comments. Good catch on the Spartans and Staleys, and the Clemson location for the Panthers. I had missed those. They've been added now. Also, the Miami Seahawks. I don't know why Pro Football Reference lists them as a defunct NFL team--you're right, they were never part of the NFL, just the AAFC. They're gone now. I just did some research on the Chiefs, and I can't find any evidence that they were ever shared with Omaha. If you can confirm that, point me to a link and I'll change the quiz.

	As to the other cities like San Antonio and Champaign, which temporarily hosted franchises that retained the name of other cities at the time, I decided not to include those--there were simply too many, and it would have filled the quiz with too much difficult, obscure knowledge. Perhaps San Antonio and Baton Rouuge would be nice bonus answers for the Saints, but then I would have to expect people to know where every NFL franchise ever played any game at all, regardless of its name, in order to be consistent. So I drew an objective line: if a team was named for a city, that city is considered the team's "home" regardless of where it played. The Saints were still the "New Orleans Saints" in 2005. I do accept actual stadium locations in many cases (like Tempe, Bloomington, Foxborough, etc.) in lieu of the "official" city.

	Aneheim was home to the Rams for several years.

	the Chargers were briefly housed in Los Angeles, and were called the L.A. Chargers.
