Background
The NFL is expanding from 32 teams to 40.
The Commissioner was planning on adding four new cities each to the NFC and the AFC.
We had to find 8 new cities that had populations that could support a large franchise.
We created 2 new teams in each region (North, South, East, West); one each for the NFC and AFC.

Process
We started by creating a map with the existing NFL teams on it.
We used 2005 census data to approximate necessary population size and income level.
We categorized possible cities using: Total population of that city
Approximate population growth
Average family income

Population Range
The existing NFL cities’ populations range from a little more than 300 thousand people, to several million.
We used these numbers to approximate how many inhabitants a city needed to sustain a NFL franchise.

Family Income Range
The median family income of the current NFL cities varies form over 70 thousand per family, to as little as 30 thousand
These numbers helped us estimate the family income necessary for an NFL city.

Ranges
The Population Range and the Family Income Range helped us realize that the population necessary is about 300 thousand people or more.
The Median Family Income level also needed to be fairly high so that families could afford tickets to games, as well as merchandise and souvenirs.
