Baseball. Watching football live is too hard to follow what's going on, no replay, it's likely colder than a well diggers ***, and it's only once a week. Baseball on the other hand has a ton of games, you can see everything on the field, it's spring and summer so you can wear what you want, and it's a lot more family friendly.
NFL would be better all around. But what would we be? The Salt Lake Pioneers? The Utah Vicious Mormons?
The NFL easily provides a better product.
Would you rather so salt lake with a crappy nfl team or a good mlb team
Baseball is way too watered down. I would literally shove an ice pick into my ear if I tried to follow a team through 180+ regular season games.
I'm thinking it would be hard to support an NFL team in a small market like SLC especially since the games are almost exclusively on Sunday.
