Basically, Jacksonville, Charlotte and Houston were more attractive markets for the most recent expansions.
It's not likely to happen soon, either, as football revenues have been been growing enough to entice expansionWhy salt lake city does not have a football team?
First it's a Mormon city and Mormons are instructed by their heavenly father to spend all day at church on Sundays, so half of the population wouldn't be interested in tickets. Well, unless they can show the church don, or boss or whatever they call him, that buying tickets leads to more money for the church. This mindset is why NFL players like Steve Young are not consigned to hell for working on Sundays. Second it's a college town, the University of Utah is the big draw, third I don't think even absent the Mormon factor there's really enough people there to support a team these days.
