all new teams have this problem. That isn't new. The question is can it be overcome in various markets.Aside from the QB dilution, there would be a serious fan base dilution. Other than St Louis, what American city--even small city--isn't already full of fans for another franchise. Any new American team would be the Chargers, a team with tepid local support.
I suppose they could go international and put teams in London, Mexico City, Pyongyang, Tehran, etc.
I think there's no doubt that San Diego and St. Louis would support new teams. Throw in Portland, Oregon and Oklahoma City which are largish downs with sizeable metropolitan areas and little in terms of major league competition for fan and business partner money and you could probably make it work.
