So the general parameters are no pro sports of any kind (not independent league baseball, not ECHL, pro golf tournaments, major race tracks etc) and no NCAA DI schools within a 2-hr drive, or roughly 120 miles.
What's the largest city in the continental US without the above?
A guess with very little research is St George, UT, pop 73000. Only team in town is NCAA DII Dixie State, and Vegas is just over 120 miles away.

I just realized you did say "continental"...my bad.
Perhaps. I find a minor league team called the "Billings Mustangs" and Bismarck has a "NBA Development League" team called the "Dakota Wizards", but both might be smaller than what's meant so make them count as lacking.
Other than a professional indoor-football team I don't think I found anything for Sioux City, Iowa. The city once had a PGA event, but that was almost sixty years ago. Although Medford, Oregon had some minor-league teams once, I don't know that I'm finding anything now. They don't appear to have a professional indoor-football team anymore. Although they did host a PBA, Professional bowling, event by the looks of it. I'm not sure if Waco, Texas has any teams or at least it sounded like all it's teams might be past-tense, but it sounds like Baylor University has a team.
Sports isn't my area though so I could be way off.
Waco is out. He said a team without a D1 football program. I basically took that as FBS schools only and Baylor plays in the Big 12. It's also 1 1/2 hours from the DFW area.
