You could move the Colts there.
And to be honest, you could have a serious impact on the state by saying if Indiana wants to practice Jim Crow laws on the LGBT and other minorities then the NFL will move the football team to a state that will show equality to everyone.

(46,179 posts)During the decades that I grew up and aged in CA, I attended Rams games in Anaheim and Raiders games in Los Angeles.
Outside of the NFL, I also attended some of the short-lived USFL Los Angeles Express games. That's where I first watched Steve Young play.
If someone is going to move back to L.A., it should most logically be the Raiders. Does the SF/Oakland area really need TWO professional teams? My current state doesn't even have one.
That, of course, is beside your point about Jim Crow laws. While I agree with your point, I doubt if the NFL cares.
