This new MLB schedule would be great. Could you email imagine the spike in game day attendance if matchups were adjusted?

 

Here is my idea-32 teams and 8 divisons 

 

Northeast

NYJ

NYG

New England

Philadelphia 

 

Rust Belt 

Buffalo

Detroit

Cleveland

Cincinnati 

 

Mid Atlantic

Baltimore

Washington

Tennessee

Pittsburgh

 

South Atlantic 

Miami

Carolina 

Tampa 

Atlanta 

 

Gulf Coast

Dallas 

Houston

New Orleans 

Jacksonville

 

Midwest

Chicago

Green Bay

Indianapolis 

Minnesota 

 

Southwest 

Los Angeles Rams

Los Angeles Chargers

Arizona Cardinals 

Las Vegas Raiders

 

Northwest

San Francisco

Seattle

Denver 

Kansas City

Not horrible. Lot of little things that would need to be changed. Couple obvious ones:

 

Jacksonville is on the Atlantic Coast, while Tampa is on the Gulf coast.

 

As someone else said, no such division as “Rust belt” If it doesn’t include Pittsburgh.

 

The NFC north is the only division that lined up to begin with- just call them the Great Lakes division and you’re good to go.

I think Pittsburgh made more sense in then Mid Atlantic so they could keep their rivalry with Baltimore. The other option would be to swap Cincy with Pittsburgh, but the natural rivalry between Cincy and Cleveland was important.

How do you have two teams in the same division, Jets, Giants, and Chargers, Rams sharing a stadium? Seems untenable.

Came here to say this. The only way sharing a stadium works is if you are in different conferences. Same division would not be even remotely acceptable.

You didn't seem to care about any of the other big rivalries...

These seem obvious, based on distance, so fans can easily travel to away games...

 

Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and Detroit

New England, NYJ, NYG, and Philly

Tennessee, Cincy, Indy, and Chicago

 

Now you start getting into teams were at least one has a further distance to travel than others

Miami, Tampa, Jacksonville, and New Orleans 

Baltimore, Washington, Carolina, Atlanta

 

Now once you get west of the Mississippi, teams are a lot more spread out, till you hit Cali...

Green Bay, Minnesota, Kansas City, and Denver

Dallas, Houston, Arizona, and Las Vegas

 

Leaving you with...

San Fran, LAC, LAR, and Seattle

It wouldn't be much different than the Jets/Giants do now. 

Division rivals in the same stadium? I believe that would be a lot different, and very problematic. Imagine being a division rival sharing a stadium with say, the Patriots*...
