Best to take a discussion about markets and viability of teams in those markets to a thread more suited to the discussion if you're worried about mods deleting your posts, this is free agency and trade thread, unless you're tying the discussion into that, it doesn't belong.the Mods will jump in soon, but this is an interesting topic.
the Bay Area is massive, and affluent (less Oakland which has deteriorated in the last 50 years). Silicon Valley is still humming, tourism, Industry in general is still good. It's incredible to realize that hockey is doing so poorly.
I did not expect it to be a top 5. It can never be in California or any of the non North-east US markets, but this low.
