The lack of fortune 500 companies is definitely problematic

San Diego, with an NFL team for 50 years, couldn't sell out a 60,000 seat stadium even when the team was good. They regularly had blacked-out home games when they didn't mean the min threshhold for ticket sales. SD is tearing down their stadium as we speak and building a 35,000 seat stadium for San Diego State football and an eventual MLS team.
0% chance we get an NFL team here, when cities that have teams already, like Jacksonville, shouldn't. There are cities like San Antonio that already have NFL level facilities in place and much bigger potential fan bases. Los Angeles went without NFL for 15 years.
Hockey could work here, I think. Seattle just got an expansion franchise, and Vivint would be a good home for an NHL franchise as many cities use the same arena for NBA and NHL.
