I heard from some local realtors that a new expansion NFL team is coming to Panama City. Any one else heard this?

Los Angeles will have a team eventually. A stadium has been cleared for construction,a recent lawsuit has been cleared and the investors are ready to go. However,the NFL has stated there will be no more expansion teams(more to share between only 32 owners).
The owners would like to see L.A have a team due to the financial rewards of the second largest television market in the country(even more money to share). This all means that some city out there will be losing their team. My guess is the Saints, due to the small television market. Although, there is now a population decrease in the area due to Katrina, the television market share is what the league and owners care about.
Louisiana has reached a suppossed deal to keep the team but that doesn't mean anything. My opinion is that it is the first phase of the blame game. Other teams out there for consideration are Vikings,Titans, and some others to mention a few.
As for Panama City...... television market share is sandwiched between three teams, Saints,Falcons,Bucs. Then there is the issue of building a stadium.
Then again, the Florida panhandle could always succeed from Florida, annex Alabama, and there you have it. However, you may have better luck convincing the NFL owners to abandon the lucrative L.A TV market for a grass field on Back Beach Rd.

Why does the tv market matter? In Atlanta, they black out the Falcons' games to try and encourage people to attend the games.

The profit divided up by the owners for the broadcast rights.
Currently, three networks CBS($3.73B), NBC)$3.6B) and FOX ($4.27B), as well as ESPN ($8.8B) are paying a combined total of $20.4 billion to broadcast NFL games through the 2011 season for CBS, FOX, and NBC and through 2013 for ESPN. However, the league imposes several strict television policies to ensure that stadiums are filled and sold out, to maximize TV ratings, and to help leverage content on these networks.
So, if you were one of the 32 owners,would you want to see a team in the L.A market or the P.C market?

not right. they are building the new airport based on future demand, and for reasons to develop land which otherwise has little interest to investors.
why could this "future demand" not use the current PC airport?

The old airport is landlocked and cannot grow...
That's the clean easy answer; however, the big picture is far more convoluted...
