None other than Detroit. While I'd trade it for a Word Series win, a Stanley Cup, or a hoops title, the designation does show the overall success the city's sports teams have been enjoying of late. Even with the Lions dragging down the curve Detroit takes the honor. Now the rest of the continent can learn what Detroiters have known all along, Detroit is one helluva sports town.

Actually, we really do suck in this field. People have asked me, "Luth, so what do you people do for fun up there?" I usually just smile and quietly say, "Get out of my face, motherfucker."

We take a 12-month snapshot, roughly July to July, of each city's sports, putting a heavy premium on regular-season won-lost records (from the most recently completed season); playoff berths, bowl appearances and tournament bids; championships; applicable power ratings; quality of competition; overall fan fervor as measured in part by attendance as percentage of venue capacity; abundance of teams, though we reward quality over quantity; stadium and arena quality; ticket availability and prices; franchise ownership; and marquee appeal of athletes.
What year was this poll taken? 1991? Or was that the year after the Lions got their asses handed to them in the NFC Championship game?

The Ten Worst Cities To Raise Kids
When it comes to raising kids in a safe environment with little to no gang activity, murders, drugs, or other dangers that some cities have serious problems with, then you definitely want to avoid living in Detroit, Camden, N.J., St. Louis, Atlanta, Gary, Hartford, Washington, D.C., New Orleans, Richmond and Birmingham.

This factor was obviously overlooked. Chicago being number 4 is scary too considering all the robberies they've been having there.

That's kind of cheating to include Ann Arbor with the Detroit. Plus, any city that has a team as bad as Lions and has fans that fill their stadium aren't all there. I'll say it, we're front-runners over here. Two years ago, it wasn't so hard to get Tigers tickets but now that they are winning, all the fairweather fans are coming out of the woodwork. Detroit is a great sports town but I wouldn't call it the best...top 5 annually but not the best.

*Addendum: And Shoalzie, yeah, but then again I had to look at a map..and then went fuck it. Ann Arbor is 40 miles away from Detroit? Eh, I figure there's a reason they grouped them together, like grouping Oakland and San Francisco together. Or maybe it is cheating/being insulting, like Denver and Boulder. And I don't care. It's a list. Someone put it together for a reason. Those on the list can ask for more $$$$.... is this about taxes?

Anyway, congrats to Detroit. Ann Arbor. and Ypsilanti.

You're right. My apologies. I thought they were all one group, if you're gonna group cities.

Well, if Oakland and Berkeley are 17, and San Francisco is 42... why is Oakland paired up with Berkeley in the first place, instead of San Francisco? Why aren't all three of them given the Detroit-Ann Arbor-Ypsilanti treatment? Is there more to this than proximity?

Here you go, Annie

Ottawa has a NHL team, a CFL team, a AAA baseball team (for now, anyway; the rumor is that it's headed to Allentown, PA after this season), and it wouldn't surprise me at all if Ottawa also has a ABA team (nearly every city on the North American continent without a NBA team has one).

As for the "diva" treatment, from a quick perusal of that list, most of the cities that didn't get it appeared to be smaller cities where one reading the list might not be familiar with them right away. A lot of college towns in that category.

I'll take Big 5 City basketball, Blue Herizon Boxing, Eagles and Flyers and even the Phillies seasons over what most other cities can offer.

I blame Temple Football for the poor rankings of Philly.

Actually, when they were there, the Mad Dogs drew respectable crowds for indoor football. The Mallards draw pretty well too.

I'm kinda sickened at the fact that Columbia is behind Honolulu, a resort town, for goodness sakes. The writers of the story never have been to a game/tailgate at Williams Brice.

Oakland is paired up with Berkeley because they butt up against each other. Also, Oakland has it's own pro sports franchises, as does San Francisco. Besides, does it really make sense to group thug Raiderfan together with white wine sipping, sushi-eating Ninerfan? Uh, no. Oakland and San Francisco are polar opposites and don't belong together at all.

the fact that LA comes in at 5 pretty much exposes this list for the shit that it is. LA LA land may have some good teams from time to time, but, it is a shit "sports town".

Good sports towns are those that rabidly support their teams despite their suckiness.

My list:

Cleveland
St Louis
Detwat
Boston
Oakland
chicago
philly
pittsburgh
new york

in general, old midwestern, north eastern towns have long established fan bases that go back multiple generations. southern and western cities largely made up of folks from somewhere else. the one exception to this rule is oaktown, mainly because, who in the fukk would move there?

shit towns include:

Atlanta/LA
sanfagcisco

the ATL and LA is a tough call. remember TBS games back in the day? I saw games where there were more people in my living room than at fulton county or whatever that dump was called. the dodgers have been around long enough to have a pretty solid following, but, their complete disinterest of even fielding a football team means they have to be considered. How the fukk do they even have 2 NBA squads? Are the clippers just so bad that noone else will take them?

Oakland is paired up with Berkeley because they butt up against each other.
And they both butt up against San Francisco. Add them together. What exactly does Berkeley offer in the way of sports and fanaticism? Why not Oakland by itself?
Also, Oakland has it's own pro sports franchises, as does San Francisco.
Add them together.
Besides, does it really make sense to group thug Raiderfan together with white wine sipping, sushi-eating Ninerfan?
In other words, they're both faggots .... sure, why not. All three are, when adding in Berkeley hippie-rich. Add them together.

Uh, no. Oakland and San Francisco are polar opposites and don't belong together at all.
Same proximity to one another. If this is about great sports towns, then the only double town that should be listed is Minneapolis-St. Paul. Anything and everything else is pure bunk. Rename the list 'great sports ... ' whatever, but not cities.

I would suggest that you don't know what the fuck you're talking about. The Lakers and Dodgers always have a solid following and attendance regardless of record.
Chicago supports both the Sox and the Cubs. THAT'S how you support two sports teams. Does LA support the Lakers and the Clippers in the same way? Would LA follow the Lakers and the Clippers, win or lose, as Chicago follows the Sox and the Cubs?

LA has more money, but it's fair weather. And they LOST the Raiders back to Oakland. LA is used to being the number two market in the US... but LAFan not used to losing or sticking with someone through thick and thin. Minor interest in the Clippers when the Lakers are dipping and the Clippers are seeming to rise does not count.

No, they DON'T butt up against San Francisco. San Francisco is on the southern part of the peninsula and Oakland/Berkeley is on the northern part. They're separated by several miles of water called the San Francisco Bay. If SF were combined with any other city, it should be San Jose, since THAT'S the city that it butts up against.

Oakland and Berkeley definitely belong together, as Oakland is essentially the ghetto/shitty part and Berkeley is the ritzy hill area of essentially the same city.

Have you even BEEN to the bay area? I've been there hundreds of times, as I grew up about an hour from Oakland and have family in Berkeley. Trust me, you have no idea what you're talking about.
Also, Oakland has it's own pro sports franchises, as does San Francisco.
Add them together.[/quote][/quote]

Why? They're as different as oil and water.
Besides, does it really make sense to group thug Raiderfan together with white wine sipping, sushi-eating Ninerfan?

They're both "faggots"? One group of fans is blue-collar and the other is white collar. I'm not sure what that has to do with sexual orientation.

Admittedly you didn't say this, but if there's a person who roots for both SC football and UCLA basketball, that person is the ultimate bandwagoning gravy-training bitch. Pick one school and go with them in all sports.

I would suggest you read my fukking post. I gave dodger fan his props. Laker fan? Maybe, but, let them have a few more down years and we'll see. My point in the post was that the inexcusable absence of an NFL franchise in the 2nd largest market in the country is proof that they suck ass as sports fans in general.

Baseball History wrote:Since 1901, when Major League Baseball began tracking official attendance, the Dodgers have played before more fans than any other franchise in the sport’s history with a cumulative attendance in excess of 175 million.
The Dodgers have been in the top 3 in baseball attendance every fucking year for decades on end and have shattered thier own fucking records for attendance every single season for the past 3 years. While teams are building smaller stadiums to make thier attendance look better, the 56,000+ seats in dodger stadium may need to be expanded in the future if this keeps up.

Any other questions, dumbfucks?


Also, Lakerfan is no different-we didnt win a fucking thing in the 90's, yet we were top 5 for attendance every season for the down times and the good.........and the same applies to these last 3 seasons.



USC football speaks for itself-I cant remember the last time the Trojans (who field a team that could kick the shit out of the pro teams of most of the tards who posted in this thread) didnt have sellout crowds.


The fact that a pathetically unliveable shithole like Detoilet is number 1, and Boston cunts who didnt know they had a fucking Football team until 5 years ago and have shunned thier basketball team for more than 2 decades until 2 days ago are ranked 6th tells me all that I need to know about this list: That, like most of the cities on it, it is pure shit.
