Certainly, the larger cities would be host to more teams, but there are still practical limits on how many clubs a given area could support. With thirty teams, there'd still be room for other cities to be represented, just not quite as many as now.

In this age of jet travel, that's not really a big deal. Besides, up until 2001, they used to play a balanced schedule.
