Man, where do you start?
NHL, in the last 50 years or so:
Flames (from Atlanta)
Hurricanes (from Hartford Whalers)
Coyotes (from Winnipeg)
Avalanche (from Quebec Nordiques)
Dallas Stars (from Minnesota North Stars)
Cleveland Barons (were the California Golden Seals, moved to Cleveland, combined with Minnesota...and then moved to Dallas 15 years later, or thereabouts)
New Jersey Devils (were the Kansas city Scouts, then the Colorado Rockies)
NFL
Indianpolis Colts, from Baltimore
St. Louis Rams, from LA and before then they were from Cleveland
Oakland Raiders, from LA, but had been from Oakland
Arizona Cardinals (had been St. Louis, before that Chicago)
Tennessee Titans (had been Houston Oilers)
Cleveland Browns to Baltimore Ravens
Portsmouth Spartans to Detroit and become the Lions
Decatur Staleys move to Chicago and become the Bears
Boston Redskins move to Washington
BASEBALL
Minnesota Twins (had been Washington Senators)
Texas Rangers (had been a second Washington Senators team)
Washington Nationals (had been Montreal Expos)
Baltimore Orioles (had been St. Louis Browns)
The Giants and Dogers
Boston Braves to Milwaukee and then Atlanta
Seattle Pilots to Milwaukee Brewers
NBA
The ex-ABA teams before they got in the league: New Jersey Americans to New York Nets to New Jersey Nets (after the NBA merger) and now they're coming back to NY! San Antonio was originally in Dallas.
N.O. Jazz to Utah Jazz
Charlotte Hornets to New Orleans Hornets
St. Louis Hawks to Atlanta Hawks
Buffalo Braves to San Diego Clippers to Los Angeles Clippers
Rochester Royals to Kansas City Royals to Kansas City Kings to Sacramento Kings (and they played part-time in Omaha for a few years)
Philadelphia Warriors to San Francisco (then Golden State) Warriors
Syracuse Nationals to Philadelphia 76ers
Vancouver Grizzlies to Memphis
I believe it to be the Sacramento Kings upon moving to Anaheim next season.
Rochester Royals (1945-57)
Cincinnati Royals (1957-72)
Kansas City-Omaha Kings (1972-75)
Kansas City Kings (1975-85)
Sacramento Kings (1985-2011)
Anaheim Royals ??? (2011-)
franchise moved most times
The New York Yankees have lost the world series a total of thirteen times, more than any other franchise.
Man U
Manchester United
IPL
dallas cowboys
It depends on what you mean by lucrative. The most valuable sports franchise is Manchester United. (Around 1.7B)
The Dallas Cowboys, a professional football team in the NFL, is considered the most expensive American sports franchise. As of the latest estimates, the team is valued at over $6 billion.
Steelers in NFL
New York Yankees of major league baseball
Most likely no, as SEGA has moved on to other installments in the Sonic franchise.
It should be Madden 11 for this year..WWE will be taken over by ea sports most probably as THQ has already expired..
