A professional sports franchise needs a large population to support the team and make it economically viable. There are not many cities in those regions that could support a professional sports team.
There are quite a few more than you think
St Louis
Chicago
Kansas City
Minneapolis
Dallas
Indianapolis
Denver
Phoenix
Milwaukee
Green Bay
Detroit
Cleveland*
Cincinnati
Columbus
Salt Lake City
Memphis*
Nashville*
