In between cities like Baltimore and Atlanta, population-wise, Albuquerque could be attractive to the MLB—not mention, it would be the first major sports league in the state of New Mexico. Albuquerque has a decent reach in the market, ranked by Nielsen in the top 50 (#46), and baseball has proven to be a well-attended attraction. The Isotopes, the city’s minor league team, had some 600,000 attendees in last season. Pretty impressive loyalty, considering the city’s metro is only around 900,000.

Odds: 2.5 out of 10
