[QUOTE="LittleGuy, post: 553065, member: 44360"] There are some pro sports teams in North America that do market themselves on a state or provincial basis, most are small market teams or are located in smaller cities within a populated area. eg. Almost all Minnesota teams, NHL: Wild, NBA: Timberwolves, NFL: Vikings and MLB: Twins, The New England area is the same with the Patriots(NFL) and Revolution(MLS), in Canada some of the CFL teams have provincial identities, the British Columbia Lions and Saskatchewan Roughriders for example. I don't think it would be impossible for a regional model to succeed in North America but it would certainly be a change from the majority of athletic competetion, there is often a strong sense of State(Provincial) or Regional identity in most places here, if it was marketed correctly and the rivalries stoked properly it could work.
