I hate to be a downer, but Pittsburgh is already listed as one of the most overburdened cities with 3 professional teams. (in terms of total metro wealth) Income needed per team: Major League Baseball - $89.2 billion. Major League Soccer - $16.1 billion. National Basketball Association - $38.4 billion; National Hockey League - $35.7 billion; and National Football League - $33.0 billion.
In 2008 the Pittsburgh metro had $100.7 billion total personal income (TPI).
So, i'm not sure how Pittsburgh is supporting 3 sports teams which add up to $157.9 billion personal income needed....
