Yuck.
Tried to latch on to few teams close to Newport News. Yuck.

Lost most of my interest in Hockey.
Still enjoy watching the Wild when I get a chance but it just isn't the same.

I guess I would have to cheer for whoever was playing Greenbay every weekend.

Unless of course the Wilf ownership group could convince the NFL that a team located in South Eastern VA wouldn't impact the Deadskins (The Ravens don't).

I know of a rather large community that has already designated an area to build a stadium, has a myriad of large nationally based companies that would fill the sky boxes, has the right infrastructure (roads/hotels/airports) to support the events and a rabid fanbase just waiting to become thier fans not to mention a community that has already built several small stadiums for our Baseball - Tidewater Tides (Orioles affiliate) and AHL Hockey team - Hampton Roads Admirals(Blackhawks).

I JUST started getting into the NHL, a Pens fan b/c of my g/f, and when they were speculating about moving, that would have killed it for me even before it began. If the new team still had AD and TJ, then I think i'd have to follow them until the players i liked were gone.

As much as I love hockey I love football even more.
I will always have to watch cause I love the game but it will just kill me not to cheer for my team (even though I don't live in MN anymore).

IF its not
the MINNESOTA VIKINGS I will give up on the NFL as a whole.

I would stop watching the NFL until a team came back to Minnesota.
Plain and simple.

Fuck ya!

IMO I do not see how anybody could possibly not be some damn furious that they would choose another team or cheer for the new Vikings.
BTW, if they moved they would change the fricken name.

I would give up NFL football for good and enjoy HS and College ball even more.

They are not the Vikings if they are not in Minnesota.
