Is a Third N.Y. Baseball Team Feasible?

Ok, here's an intresting question

What is the largest metropolitan area with only one team?

What is the largest with no team?(don't say Montreal)

If there was to be a rough measure..............say one team per 3 million population in the area, what would the baseball landscape look like?

If it was one team per 2 million?
