Thank you to all the new people who just discovered this, I have updated the quiz and I also wanted to mention that although the Athletics are playing their home games in Sacramento for the time being, they will not be considered a Sacramento team for the sake of this quiz.

I originally included them in the San Francisco Bay Area, but you are right I think SJ deserves it's own spot.

But the 49ers call themselves San Francisco but basically play in San Jose

It's kind of hard to determine which cities to include for which teams. For example you could argue that Boston doesn't have a football team because the Pats are 40 miles away, but everyone knows they represent the city of Boston. Idk, I'm going to keep it the way it is for now, and if any new teams pop up/move, I'll update the quiz

Fair enough. I'd say it's easier just to call the Bay Area one metro area though

How is Charlotte an accepted answer for Raleigh?

Lmao it's actually because I live in NC so I was trying to be mindful that most people not from around here (especially those that aren't into hockey) just know the team as "Carolina" Hurricanes, which they most likely associate with Charlotte, the biggest city. But if people think I should only accept Raleigh, I have no issue with changing it. What do you think?

I would suggest just Raleigh given that Charlotte has multiple teams, which automatically disqualifies it.

Salt Lake City should be removed now that they have the Mammoth.

Check the reply under my top comment, I'm not considering them to be in Sacramento because it's only a temporary move
