Agree that is a different story. If the Pats move to Hartford, CT (as was once proposed) I would be happy with that move. A move outside of NE, not so much.
Weren't they planning to move to Hartford at some point?

"as was once proposed"
Reading comprehension, professor.
The reason I'm asking, schmuck, is because what I heard on the news was so long ago. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the Moheigan Sun Casino was going to build them a new stadium in Hartford but the deal fell through for some reason. Now if you could elaborate more on this since you follow the team more, that would be great.

I'd argue that a team with a regional name like "New England" moving within said region is not even close to the same as a team from MIAMI playing home games in ORLANDO. They are 4 hours apart by car.
What if they rename the team the Florida Dolphins first? Keep in mind the team I root for once had the name "Boston Patriots." Point being the shorter the move the less disruptive. Shea Stadium to Meadowlands < Boston to Foxboro < Foxboro to Hartford < Miami to Orlando < Miami to Las Vegas. For many of the Dolphin fans the game would be just as close or even closer if it was in Orlando instead. Orlando is part of the Dolphin fan base area.

As much as I would love a move to Orlando, the league won't let that happen. They view Orlando as Jacksonville territory.

If the Jaguars had come around at the same time as the Dolphins, that might very well be the case. But from what I've heard about Orlando, there are tons of Dolphins fans there because the Dolphins came into existence 30 years before the Jaguars did.
