[RockieBill]

Hey, TSN - :doublefin

[imgreat95]

how in the WORLD do you even measure stuff like that??? Hell, a lot of those "cities" don't even have any sports team... professional or otherwise.

[rockin500]

yeah all river falls has is cows. Its a school where you can bring your horse on campus. :)

[renuszm]

Where's my city, we do have a minor league hockey team :biggrin:

[Misha77Piazza]

SAY WHAT???? FAIRFIELD, CT IS ONE OF THE BEST SPORTS IN CITY???? HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?!? :freak:

[rockin500]

why would LA be that high up? From what I hear from californians, sports is low down on the priorites. Hell, LA dont even have a football team. If that doesnt say sucky sports town nothing does. Oh and the fact that the dodgers and anahiem have trouble getting crowds to the games sometimes....

[rockin500]

[Hurricane Floyd]

Well, for one thing is Fairfield, Ct isn't even a city. Another thing it doesn't even have sports that would attract anybody expect Fairfield U. Stags. I find it hard to believe that is one of the best sports cities. :hmm:

OK, THERE IS NO WAY Denver should be higher than Pittsburgh!!!!!

Every sporting event here requires a "MAKE NOISE" sign for the crowd to make any noise!

IT'S PATHETIC!!!!!!!

[awefullspellare]

do u all understnad the ratings? I thought they were based on HOW there teams finished! Im not sure but i belive tahts how its done so its not by wheres the best town! But n e way at #53:biggrin: :biggrin: LINCOLN and at #91 OMAHA YEAH! WE BARELY IN TOP 100!

[PissedPrincess]

The ratings are pretty much based on pro-team's performances. Boston won cuz so far 3 of their teams made the playoffs so far. It's also based on fan support, etc.

Go read the story. It explains it all.

exactly!:pimp:

[BPBlueSox]

Ahhhh.....

that's a different story if it's going by team performance.... :hmm:

[choateschick38]

Buffalo is 30th? That's far too high. Our sports teams are the Sabres and the Bills! :barf:

[RockieBill]

In the last five-six years Denver has 2 Super Bowl trophies and 2 Stanley Cups...and their #12? That's BS! Boston must be #1 because they had such a tear-jerking rally for Bourque with Denver's Cup???

:confused:

[awefullspellare]

AVS OWN SO DOES DENVER BUT N E WAY I THINK ITS BASED MORE ON THE LAST YEAR! AND DENVER DIDNT HAVE A CHAMPION AS FAR AS I NO, AND Y DID THE AVS GET RID OF NEMINEM!

[et2007]

Atlanta could be a little higher.

Anyways, where's Kitchener, Ontario, we have a minor league hockey team, and a minor league baseball team.

[choateschick38]

What sports teams does Niagara Falls (#168) have? Am I just totally blanking out? :confused:
