Plus it does not have a suitable facility yet. Pittsburgh has a marvelous arena (Consol Energy Center), Kansas City has the Sprint Center.

Are we seriously debating expansion based on number of racists? I also think you are severely underselling Baltimore's racism (no white people live in the city anymore, white flight if I have ever seen it in my life) and also Pittsburgh's black population, which actually *slightly* larger than Baltimore's.

I'm definitely not seeing the "sports crazy" angle in Bawlmer over the Burgh either. At best it's a wash, but I dunno man, they go ape shit for the Steelers regardless and if the Penguins are half competitive they are HUGE business.
