	all the tampa bay teams are in the city of tampa, not in its bay

	giants and jets play in east rutherford and the rays play in st petersburg

	Quite a few MLS teams would qualify for this list, too.

	jdprocknow:	Sep 16th, 2010 at 16:10 GMT	3 points
	I did not include MLS, just went for the major four leagues. And as far as the Rays go, Tampa Bay is a region and St. Pete is definitely in that region. Similar to how New England Patriots play in that region even though there is no city of New England, per say.

	Widen the last field to 30% on the Style page.

	Tried to figure out how to widen column 3, not successful obviously. The slider bar only alters columns 1 and 2.

	MLS sucks

	@adamchappelle: Arlington is in Texas, buddy.

	@FIGO, the Rays do not play in Tampa.

	HollywoodLeo:	Sep 16th, 2010 at 18:57 GMT	3 points
	@td482631, while that's true (about the Rays) they do play in the Tampa Bay region which the instructions state are not included. (Note: the city name is Tampa, not Tampa Bay)

	The Angels don't play in both Anaheim and Los Angeles

	crazydiamond1to9:	Sep 17th, 2010 at 03:44 GMT	1 point
	Angels should be counted since their city name is Los Angeles.

	HollywoodLeo:	Sep 17th, 2010 at 04:46 GMT	1 point
	The official name of the Angels is the "Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim" It's stupid, yes, but they still list their actual city in their name.
