	Accept as one word: Hurricanes, Diamondbacks.

	I think Islanders should count. I wouldn't count Giants, Jets, Yankees, Mets, Rangers, or Knicks since they're all (or at one time were) located in the city. Since the Islanders have never been located in New York City, I would argue that their name reflects the state.

	the Diamondbacks and Hurricanes are on here but the creator didn't put to accept just the team names but that you have to put the city as well. This needs to be fixed

	Accept Hurricanes, and yes, I agree with tmugford, the Islanders represent Long Island, not NYC, meaning the New York in their name is the state.

	@asobrock: Tampa Bay is not a city. It's the body of water next to the city of Tampa, Florida.

	if islanders are going to be accepted so should the jets and giants who play in jersey. but thats just being picky islanders people, its close enough. and yes there is no such city as tampa bay

	@zmoney - well, ya learn something everyday. I had no idea that Tampa was the name of the city. I always thought it was Tampa Bay.

	@halobigshot, even though the Jets and Giants are in New Jersey, the name New York Jets still represents New York, New York. The New York Islanders represent Long Island, New York, meaning it's named after the state.

	@cricket: There's not many comments above yours, why didn't you bother reading them? Also, strangely enough, it may not accept Diamondbacks but, for me, it accepted "D Backs". But in the same vein, it wouldn't take "T Wolves".

	The title doesn't say anything about states. It just says "not a city".

	I repeat the comments to fix D-backs and Hurricanes. I typed in Hurricanes 3 times, once with 1 R, trying to figure out the spelling error, or perhaps guessing which other NHL team I had missed while the quiz maker forgot the Canes. Dude, decent quiz, but FIX THESE OBVIOUS ERRORS!!!

	TheBoltEater:	Jul 20th, 2010 at 03:52 GMT		13 points
	Sorry PWT3, but you're wrong. The teams are named Tampa Bay because they are supposed to represent both Tampa AND St. Petersburg. They are specifically NOT named Tampa, and are therefore NOT named after the city. They certainly should be included in this quiz.

	CNS:	Jul 20th, 2010 at 04:37 GMT		1 point
	Minnesota and Tampa Bay for all four. And why is everybody thinking it has to be a state's name. Not a city could mean a bay, a region, a state, a nickname of a state...

	DiscoSpider:	Jul 20th, 2010 at 04:37 GMT		5 points
	@typedino New York is the name of the city. New York City is not.

	DarkPassenger:	Jul 20th, 2010 at 05:14 GMT		7 points
	You might want to accept Diamondbacks, after all that is the team name.

	alleycat9:	Jul 20th, 2010 at 05:19 GMT		5 points
	really good quiz, the tampa bay one got me as well. but it is correct and i cant understand why everyone is getting their panties in a bunch about it. great job great quiz.

	strags11:	Jul 20th, 2010 at 10:38 GMT		1 point
	It's something of a testament to the ingenuity of the average Sporcler that over half got the Diamondbacks, and over a third got the Hurricanes, despite the typos. 5 globes for the quiz, 1 globe for not fixing the errors after a day's worth of comments = 3 globes overall.

	strags11:	Jul 20th, 2010 at 10:39 GMT		9 points
	Oh, and honestly folks: if you think Tampa Bay is a city, perhaps Sporcle isn't the best place for you.

	ive only made one quiz of my own before so im not sure how it works but i think what you did when you tried to make the quiz allow dbacks and canes was somehow not let it include just diamondbacks or hurricanes, i got diamondbacks by saying dbacks and hurricanes by saying carolina hurricanes

	i made this exact same quiz 3 months ago

	HollywoodLeo:	Jul 21st, 2010 at 00:38 GMT		4 points
	How can you not accept Diamondbacks and Hurricanes? It's not like those are the proper names or anything.

	HollywoodLeo:	Jul 21st, 2010 at 00:41 GMT		6 points
	@PWT, there's nothing "technical" about the fact that the body of water is called "Tampa Bay" not the city. The Rays don't even play in Tampa.

	mitchconn:	Jul 21st, 2010 at 03:00 GMT		1 point
	Just agreeing with the people who complained about Hurricanes and Diamondbacks not being accepted.

	KrenzyBombs:	Jul 21st, 2010 at 17:46 GMT		1 point
	I don't know what posessed me to do so, but after "hurricanes" was not accepted, I typed in "canes" and it worked. I was shocked and it just happened. From earlier comments I see that "d-backs" was accepted also. Great quiz idea with a few changes that need to be made... nothing more, nothing less.

	"Canes" and "Dbacks" work, while the full names don't.

	When the quiz is focused on the locations, the locations should be accepted as answers. It currently doesn't accept "carolina" or "colorado" or "tampa bay", etc.

	I have lived in Tampa almost all my life, and I missed all the Tampa Bay teams. Aside from the Rays, everyone that lives in Tampa assumes the Buc's and lightning are Tampa teams. But none the less it does say Tampa Bay, even though nobody thinks of clearwater when talking about the Buc's.
