Abstract: Abstract Between 1920 and 2013, the National Football League (NFL) admitted 34 expansion franchises. Eighteen or 53 % of them joined the league before 1933, ten or 29 % from 1933 to 1970, and six or 18 % after 1970. Of the group, 13 or 38 % are current NFL teams while the majority of others bankrupted and suspended their operations because of demographic, financial, and sport-specific reasons such as their performances in games during regular seasons and/or postseasons. Despite the failure of these professional football franchises, expansion has been a successful long run strategy for the NFL.
