This article looks at the states in the US without professional sports teams. It's a surprisingly small list, with only five states having no professional teams in the big four major sports leagues: NFL, MLB, NBA, and NHL. These states are Alaska, Delaware, Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota. All other states have at least one professional sports team in one of the four major leagues.
