I'm wondering, now that San Antonio will have D1 football, what's the list of other major cities in America that don't have the NFL or major college football?

I can think of one in South Central Kansas. Any others?

Yep. I figured I would have overlooked a couple.

I'm not sure you can count OKC either since Norman is in such close proximity.

^^ fair enough.


Also...the two biggest cities in Arkansas are Little Rock and Fort Smith and neither of those have college football teams.

To me, the two biggest holes are Milwaukee and Wichita

Milwaukee, Wis.
Portland, Ore. Portland State (Big Sky)
Oklahoma City, Okla. OU (Big 12)
Long Beach, Calif.
Sacramento, Calif. Sacremento State (Big Sky) & UC Davis soon to be in the WAC
Mesa, Ariz.
Virginia Beach, Va. (Old Dominion is located in Norfolk 15 minutes away) The start playing Football again next year.
Omaha, Nebr. (Nebraska, enough said)
Raleigh, N.C NC State (ACC)

Mesa, AZ = Phoenix = Tempe = Arizona State & Arizona Cardinals

At least in Little Rock, the community is assured of having at least one Hogs game per year.

True. And it's 2 per year, actually. 1 non-conference, 1 conference. Much to the chagrin of us in the great Northwest. 8)
