	Let me know if the quiz would be better if made to answer in order

	shroomyshroom:	Jun 28th, 2010 at 01:29 GMT	2 points
	maybe try and add the year which they relocated as the 3rd column?

	godpaul26:	Jun 28th, 2010 at 01:34 GMT	1 point
	I thought of that, but some have moved 4 times, so there really isn't room for it and the miles

	Theosaurus:	Jun 28th, 2010 at 01:37 GMT	7 points
	I think that this quiz is very good as is.

	cardspartan:	Jun 28th, 2010 at 01:40 GMT	4 points
	Gah, how did I forget the Ravens!

	xyz789:	Jun 28th, 2010 at 01:45 GMT	3 points
	It wouldn't accept Jazz.....?

	godpaul26:	Jun 28th, 2010 at 01:48 GMT	0 points
	@xyz789: realized that before i saw your comment and fixed it, sorry about that.

	chambles91:	Jun 28th, 2010 at 04:39 GMT	3 points
	very good quiz. don't know how I missed the colts.

	cocky:	Jun 28th, 2010 at 05:55 GMT	7 points
	You probably know this, but from a legal standpoint, the Browns didn't really move.

	y2jdilemma:	Jun 28th, 2010 at 11:19 GMT	3 points
	It was very very minor, but what about the Angels moving from LA to Anaheim? Milage cant be all that much less than the Baltimore/Washington Bullets move.

	godpaul26:	Jun 28th, 2010 at 13:10 GMT	0 points
	@y2jdilemma: I didn't include anything that did not leave the metro-area. @cocky: Yes I knew someone would say that, but if I didn't put them, then I would be hearing it from the other side. Technically when they did move, it was a relocation, the deal was struck well after the fact, so for all intents and purposes, the Browns did relocate to Baltimore and become the Ravens, and then they didn't. lol.

	cocky:	Jun 28th, 2010 at 13:30 GMT	3 points
	Yes, you were in a damned if you do, damend if you don't with the Browns "move". I don't have a problem with you putting them on the list. Franchise moves (or relocations if you will) are a wierd obsession of mine (I have one ion the NHL and I don't even like hockey) and I enjoyed your quiz. I give it five yellow balls and a nomination. Great job including the original home of the Yankees and Orioles.

	cocky:	Jun 28th, 2010 at 13:36 GMT	3 points
	One other minor nitpick.....The Kings were officially the KC/Omaha Kings for a couple of seasons when they played some of their home games in Omaha, Nebraska.

	donuthead247:	Jun 28th, 2010 at 13:51 GMT	2 points
	are we there yet no are we there yet no are we there yet SHUT UP!!!! ................. Are we there yet?

	godpaul26:	Jun 28th, 2010 at 15:54 GMT	0 points
	@cocky, yes I know. Their primary location was located in KC, and they did play some home games in Omaha, before dropping Omaha games after a year or two. So they relocated to KC (as their primary location) and played some home games in Omaha. They didn't relocate to Omaha or anything. Wasn't sure how to handle it, so just went with the primary location of where they relocated to. Similar to the Bears having to play home games at Univ of Illinois field for a season, wasn't a relocation, just played home games away from their primary location I guess. Tough call on how to handle it sorry

	rk559:	Jun 28th, 2010 at 16:46 GMT	2 points
	Very good! one of the few I've ever nominated

	godpaul26:	Jun 28th, 2010 at 17:45 GMT	0 points
	@rk559: thank you.

	cocky:	Jun 28th, 2010 at 19:36 GMT	3 points
	@godpaul...No problem with how you handled the Kings situation. I think the Jazz played a few games a year for a while in Las Vegas and the Celtics used to play some games in Hartford. The Dodgers played games in New Jersey in their Brooklyn years. The Bears situtation is a bit different, since that was just during stadium remodling. The NFL Panhters played their first season in Clemson and the Titans spent a year in Memphis.

	cocky:	Jun 28th, 2010 at 19:38 GMT	3 points
	Please don't take my comments as criticism, I was just making conversation. As I said, it was a very well done quiz that required a lot of research. Its just a wierd obsession of mine. One more....the Spurs were once in Dallas in their ABA days.

	godpaul26:	Jun 28th, 2010 at 19:40 GMT	0 points
	Yes, I stayed away from all the ABA moves because there were a lot from what I understand. Thanks again, I love the feedback and discussion, and am not taking it the wrong way at all.

	godpaul26:	Jun 28th, 2010 at 19:40 GMT	0 points
	I have Memphis and Nashville listed for the Titans, I wasn't even aware of the others. Wow, you do have a weird obsession! lol.

	TheLastWaltz:	Jun 28th, 2010 at 19:47 GMT	3 points
	perhaps add bonus answers for the teams like Steelers and Eagles that had to combine during WWII?

	pita:	Jun 28th, 2010 at 19:47 GMT	1 point
	A good quiz...very good possibilities...but this isn't really the ones that moved most, it's any that moved out of their metro area. Having the miles moved order just helps find teams. That's a good quiz too, but it's not really what the title says. I still rate the quiz high, but the "most moved" might have the top 5 for each sport, and less time?

	godpaul26:	Jun 28th, 2010 at 20:07 GMT	0 points
	@pita: I know, the original thought of the quiz was to make people guess in order, but the people I had test it said that it was frustratingly difficult, so I changed it to this and left the first comment for suggestions if they wanted it in order or not. Nobody has seemed to want that, so that is what happened and why it is what you see now, sorry.

	godpaul26:	Jun 28th, 2010 at 20:35 GMT	0 points
	@TheLastWaltz: Neither really relocated, so not sure it fits here. They split their home games between Pitt and Philly, so I'm not sure how to handle that either.

	XYlophonetreeZ:	Jun 28th, 2010 at 21:56 GMT	3 points
	The Carolina Hurricanes played 2 seasons in Greensboro.

	godpaul26:	Jun 28th, 2010 at 22:06 GMT	0 points
	Thank you, updated the miles and the new pit stop

	sabresfan:	Jun 29th, 2010 at 01:21 GMT	2 points
	The Ravens might be properly addressed as a bonus rather than a full fledged answer. Also, I'd add the Whalers started in Boston (in the WHA) before moving to Hartford.

	godpaul26:	Jun 29th, 2010 at 01:29 GMT	0 points
	Not opening the pandoras box of the WHA or ABA or any of those, sorry.

	sabresfan:	Jun 29th, 2010 at 02:10 GMT	2 points
	If you include the AFL moves (for current franchises) like the Chiefs and Chargers, then you kinda have to include the ABA/WHL ones too (again, just for current active franchises, excluding defunct ones).

	godpaul26:	Jun 29th, 2010 at 02:30 GMT	0 points
	No they are completely different actually. The NHL treated the teams that "merged" from the WHA as expansion teams, and did not carry along their records/history etc to the NHL. The NFL did, so their history, stats, and relocations are all now a part of NFL history. That is why I included them, but not the WHA sorry.

	@godpaul26: Sorry, I Missed this quiz when I just created my "Where Were They Then" quiz. Hope it's okay - it's asking the reverse question. I'll link to yours.

	You should update this to add the new Winnipeg Jets
