Despite Rozelle's pledge to the 89th United States Congress, many teams have moved since the merger.
Established teams that moved to a different city within the same metropolitan area: Arizona Cardinals: from eastern Phoenix suburb Tempe to western suburb Glendale in 2006 Buffalo Bills: from Buffalo to Orchard Park, NY in 1973 Dallas Cowboys from Dallas to Irving, TX in 1971 Detroit Lions: from Detroit to Pontiac in 1975 and back to Detroit in 2002 Los Angeles Rams: from Los Angeles to Anaheim in 1980 Miami Dolphins: from Miami to unincorporated northern Dade County (now the city of Miami Gardens) in 1987 Minnesota Vikings: from suburban Bloomington to downtown Minneapolis in 1982 Boston/New England Patriots: from Boston to Foxboro, MA in 1971 New York Giants: Queens to East Rutherford, NJ in 1976; relocated temporarily from The Bronx to New Haven, Connecticut in October 1973, and then to Queens in 1975 New York Jets: from Queens to East Rutherford, NJ in 1984 Washington Redskins: from Washington, D.C. to Landover, MD in 1997
a team moving from the city to the suburbs does NOT count as a relocation. Smith03 00:06, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
Does every one believe that the statement about teams moving was meant to be forever and also remember it took a court ruling to allow oakland to move in 1981 . and also during the last merger only 3 of the 7 all america football confrence teams joined the nfl . Ranul 07:47, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:NFL 1960.gif
Image:NFL 1960.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
