D.C., Dallas, and Miami), and four are in the Western United States (Los Angeles, San Francisco, Denver, and Phoenix). Smallest population with all four The least-populous metropolitan area with at least one team in each of the four major sports is Denver, whose estimated population is 2,853,077. However, Denver is the hub of an urban corridor of about 4.8 million people. It is the largest metropolitan area within a radius of about and commands a relatively large media market. Minnesota is the least populous state to have a team in each major sport. It has almost three million fewer people than Virginia, the most populous state with no major sports teams. Largest population without a team The largest television market area with no teams in the four major leagues is the Hartford & New Haven (Connecticut) area. Hartford was formerly home to the NHL's Hartford Whalers, who moved to Raleigh in 1997 and are now the Carolina Hurricanes. The largest television market areas that have never had a team in the four major leagues are Austin, Texas, which gained an MLS team in 2021 (Austin FC), and the West Palm Beach-Ft. Pierce (Florida) area, though that is usually considered part of the territory of Miami-area teams. Using the Primary Statistical Areas defined by the U.S. Census Bureau, the most-populous metropolitan area without a team in any of the four major leagues (as of the 2010 U.S. Census) is the Hartford–Springfield area, although several minor league professional teams play in the area and it is located between the larger metro areas of New York and Boston. The Hampton Roads metro area is the second-largest metro area without a major sports team and has never had one. Before the addition of the Vegas Golden Knights in 2017, the Las Vegas Valley had been the largest metro area without a team. Largest population without all four leagues represented Houston, which lacks an NHL team, is the largest metropolitan area that does not have a franchise in all four major professional sports. Los Angeles had been the largest such area from 1995 until 2016, when the St. Louis Rams moved back to California. Cities with two teams from one of the four leagues The sport that most commonly has two teams in one metropolitan area is baseball, with multiple teams in Chicago (since 1901), New York (since 1962), Los Angeles (since 1961), and the
