Spokane Washington
Spokane's metropolitan area is around near 475,000(acquired from multiple sites). People in the northwest are football crazy. There would never be a problem selling out games. Also, by the way, Spokane is the LARGEST city between Seattle and Minneapolis. That is 1400 miles. Fans would be attracted form far and wide from the place called, pause for dramatic effect. . . The Inland Empire!

Omaha, NE
With the new UFL football team they sold out the first game and are having to turn people away. (24,000 people)
If the UFL does not suceed I think Omaha could support a NFL team and would have a hard core following. The people in that area love football

London
Great Britain loves the NFL as evidenced by the games held at Wembley over the last few years. There's more support for the NFL in London than there is in LA for an expansion team. Future supersonic aircraft being developped will make travel times a lot less as has been the case with Concorde in the past. This will make a franchise in London and elsewhere less of an issue in the future with the distance.
