Too bad it's racist.
Would Utah support a NFL team?

I like where your head's at.
P.S.--Who's footing the bill for this stadium project? All you wealthy Utahrns?

No this state would not support it. Not enough people to begin with and 50% of them won't go on Sunday.
I would go when they played the Broncos. I would not vote for them to win.

Better than many larger markets. https://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?t=l_att&lid=112&sid=l112
SL set an attendance record when they opened the park in 1994, & led the Pacific Coast League for several years in a row.
A quick google search showed the Bees Sunday attendance of about 4200 compared to 7133 season average. Football wouldn't have the same issue.

Yeah, 'cause there's nothing else to do in the state.

But for how long? Maybe for 1 year until the newness wears off. Then They would struggle more and more if the team struggled and after the shine wore off.
Possibly. Reno has good attendance.
Compared to what though? I hear this all the time but don't know the difference between SLC & big cities. What do all of you do in big cities?

No they wouldn't. There problem would be worse because all of their games are on the worst attended game of the week. That attendance drop is the very reason the NFL won't even bother with the state. A huge % of an already small market is not going to come to your games. Therefore Utah would have to have twice the population of another market to even be considered. Since the NFL is more into big markets (excluding Greenbay) I see no hope for Utah to ever get a NFL team.

We would have as good as chance as anyone to be great. The NFL is built that way. If the Miller's owned it and ran it the same as the Jazz, I have no doubt we would eventually become a great team. People would follow a good team. For a long time. Not just a year.
I have seen a lot of people say no, they work wouldn't drop their current team. I call B.S. Maybe at first it would be hard, but I bet you all would come around.

The hypothetical is if Utah would support a team, not if the NFL would move one here. As far as that goes, Utah & new ownership would turn around that ****ty Bengals franchise. Provo, Ogden, & SL metro areas combine to about the same size, but are probably 10x the support since most Cincinnati residents are probably Colts fans.

Do you even have proper I.D. for such a thing?
