Pro Football Leagues Mull Expansion Targets
In a New York AP dispatch, NFL Commissioner Rozelle proposed expanding to 16 by 1967, while AFL Commissioner Foss suggested a potential rise to two teams by 1966. City lists spanned major U.S. and Canadian markets, including Montreal, Toronto, Boston, Miami, Atlanta, New Orleans, Cincinnati, Houston, Memphis, Phoenix, Seattle, and Portland, with further possibilities in Chicago, Washington, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Milwaukee, Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver. Both leagues, flush with TV money, seek new markets despite existing teams and prior trial results.
