Hell yeah Pittsburgh FTW.
I'm at Duquesne University and I think it's pretty nice here and there's a lot going on. I can see the Penguins Stadium from my dorm window and when the Pens won their opening game last week it was crazy.

I would think people are more devout in Boston.

1. The cities with the most successful teams tend to have the STUPIDEST fans.
2. Boston.
2. Boston.
I dont understand how they can rank Dallas at 9 and Houston at 11. Even though our basketball teams were about even last year and our football teams will have the same win-loss we still come in behind them? We're the older and bigger city! Boooooo.
And number one should be Boston. Boston is at the top perennially while Pitt comes and goes like Big Ben's brain cells.

If you take the Pirates out of the equation, Pittsburgh would be in a category all in its own. Also what the fuck with Detroit including Ace Deuce and Ypsi? Ann Arbor is 40+ mins away from Detroit, I guess with the economy taking in the state they wanted to give them a nice thing to look at.

Holy shit 3 championships in the last 30 years!

so take a horrific team out and ignore the fact that it doesnt even have one of the 4 major sports and its golden! I also fail to see how a town of front runners (NHL team) is that awesome in the first place
I'd still rank Boston as #1, even if they havent won in the last few years

Last year Pitt had:
Elite-8 Basketball Team
Stanley Cup Champions
Super Bowl Champions
Fallout 3 DLC
Boston can't top that, at least for 2008-2009 haha.
EDIT: And a BSC Bowl appearance but they lost.

St. Louis is the only city I've been to that I would call a 'sports city' every breathing human in that city is a cards/blues/rams fan
As a resident of Miami, I really have to disagree with its #8 slot. Yes, our teams do fairly well and whatnot, but this city is the DEFINITION of "fair weather fans." Nobody gives a shit unless championships are being won. Also, the high number of transplants from New York/Boston/Etc. means tons people root for out-of-state teams.
Exactly. The Top 10 is hilarious, because LA and Miami definitely could much more easily be in a worst sports town top 3. When people have nice weather and things to do they just don't feel like wasting time cheering for shitty teams, which is usually an essential component of any "great" sports town.Viewt said:

People in Montreal only care about hockey, and no one else cares about anything else. I remember when the Nats first moved to DC, they interviewed a player who said that after a good performance in Montreal he'd go back and watch the local sports for highlights and it would go Montreal Expos -> Canadian club hockey -> local high school hockey -> Montreal Expos.

Chicago is too big to be devoted. Sure there are pockets, but the city of a whole doesn't really care all that much. It's really why Boston ends up at the top of the list every year - it's the perfect size city to support 1 team in every category but not so big that there's tons of other shit to do all the time and tons of transplants who don't give a crap. Throw in how awful the weather is here and pretty much all anyone wants to do is go watch a game.

I used to live in Boston, I know how it is.
As a St. Louis (county!) resident that doesn't like sports, I absolutely hate this. Every person you meet here assumes that you would give your life to shake hands with Albert Pujols. I get asked daily by the same people if I watched the cards/blues/rams game from the previous night. The whole area is full of mouth breathers that can't hold a conversation unless it revolves around whether or not the Rams can rebuild and win the super bowl next year.ElectricBlue187 said:

Well I mean, it's a city where it's only glue, really, is its sports and its banking. You can't really deny that the people in that city care about anything else other than football and the Pens.
Cleveland has the same syndrome but they've been in denial for the past 30 years. "Bubububu THIS IS THE YEAR"

It's maybe not the best, but I think Columbus is pretty damn fine as a sports city. We got the Crew (don't laugh, they're defending champs), a pretty good AFL program in the Destroyers, Blue Jackets (not spectacular but getting better, plus good fans), and the Buckeyes of course. The Arena District downtown is really nice - especially the new Huntington Field, where the Clippers (minor league baseball) play. I think it won best new sports venue, or something.
Anyways, as a not-so-intense sports nut, but someone who appreciates them, C-Bus is great.
