Ranked above baseball towns like Kansas City, Milwaukee and Cincinnati, Salt Lake City could be an enticing market for the MLB. Located in an area that doesn’t tread on any MLB organization’s turf, Utah’s largest city makes for a nice split between San Francisco and Oakland to the west, the Dodgers, Angels and Padres to the southwest, the Rockies in the east, and the Diamondbacks to the south.

The minor league team, the Salt Lake Bees, calls the city home—and the stadium provides one of the best views in all of baseball. Renovations to make room for extra capacity would be an issue, but in a city not as crammed as others, the outlook for such a project would not be as bleak.

Would they fill it? As noted before, the city’s population seems to prefer outdoor sports that don’t require so much sitting.
