The best sports city is......?

hahahaha thanks!!

I live in Kansas City, and we may not win many things but I am a DIE HARD CHIEFS FAN
 
Filthadelphia for sure.

We throw snowballs at frickin santa clause for christ's sake, dump beers on little girls in opposing teams clothing, and turn on our stars and coaches at the drop of a hat.

Last flyers game I was at, I'm just standing there waiting for a beer and the crowd at the concession stand just starts boooing deafeningly loud. I turn around to see a guy struggling to get his jacket on to cover up his caps jersey as fast as possible. I'm surprised someone didn't trip him as he was scurrying away.

Championships, who needs championships, we've got the most rabid fans of any US city and that's good enough to draw star players here to philly. If that ain't sayin something I don't know what is.

Cheesesteaks, beer, and sports. That's what we do here in philly.

Haha definitely a different aspect of what makes a good sports city.....but we got that in boston too. Matter of fact, I liberally just threw someone out for dumping beers on a white sox fan
 
gotta agree wit ya bro! i'm from new england and i gotta root for the boston teams!!! hopefully the bruins pull off the stanley cup
 
There honestly aren't very many bandwagoners out here...... everyone has been a pittsburgh sports fan through the bad times as well. Games and bars still fill up when the pens/steelers aren't doing so hot.
 
ESPN has rated us all sorts of fan-related things for awhile now, too, such as biggest fan base and widest reaching fan base and hardest stadiums to play in. We also have steelers bars in every effing part of the country and world.
 
good try bud, both Toronto and Montreal have more cups than the Wings. Montreal has well over twice as many even. And without hesitation I can easily say Montreal, Toronto, and Boston are all much more impressive hockey franchises than Detroit.
 
I agree with detroit being a great franchise, but the way that guy put it had no real argument. But I wouldn't say that toronto montreal, OR boston are better franchises.
 
Boston fans are the least accepting, least welcome fans around. I was at the rounf 2 home opener for the celtics and it was the most hostile environment i've ever been in. i'm a relatively calm kid, but i found myself yelling serious slurs at lebron, d-wade, and bosh. i very well should have been removed from the game. that being said, if they removed me they'd have to remove 95% of the people there. i'm pretty sure i told lebron that his mother was a fucking whore whilst shooting a free throw.
 
Has to be Boston.
The only other cities even within sight are probably Philly or LA. MAYBE Dallas. Philly definitely takes it for biggest piece of shit fans tho hahahaha. No offense, but it's a fuckin' free for all in Eagles stadium- moral "lines" are out the fuckin window 100% and I hear it isn't much better in their ballpark.
New York, suck my balls. You are somewhere behind Tampa, only because it sounds like Tampon and you're a vaginal blood clot of a sports society. ;)
 
Maybe not in the city, but in the keystone state for sure. I think the number of steelers flags and stickers I saw around here about quadrupled after you guys won the superbowl however many years ago that was.

I'll give ya the far reaching fan base though, I was in the alchemist in northern VT this year and they had a steelers flag flying and rally towels everywhere.

Flyers fans are all over the place throughout the country too though. Like any away game you are sure to see a fair amount of orange in the stands.
 
Completely Agree. Vancouver is the best, there is pretty much everything, especially only being 2 hours from Whistler. Plus theres a good party scene too. Van is where its at.
 
yeah definitely boston. you could make an argument for nyc but in the past decade boston/massachusett's teams have been unbelievable.
 
if you're looking at the whole world apparently Melbourne in Australia tops it.

but place like Berlin, London, Singapore, etc are always right up at the top some lists I was looking at. Not that lists can mean much, but Boston was rarely there
 
detroit is surprisingly good minus the lions. The red wings are always good, we have recently made it to the final in the world series for base ball, and the pistons were good. But the lions arent exactly good.

on the worldwide scale i wouldn't expect boston to do that well simply due to size. It's not a major global powerhouse, plus the US doesn't play too many sports that are competitive on the international level. Teams from europe all play each other which makes it a bigger deal.

boston is all about domestic winning.
 
i would like to point out this is why i really hate philly's sports fans. 90% of them know absolutely NOTHING about sports yet blindly scream at people wearing another jersey... ignorant and obnoxious is a perfect description of 90% of philly's fans i've met.
 
Boston sucks, seriously. The only city with dumber, less-knowledgeable fans is LA. You've got the dumbest, most stuck up fanbase there is. I don't even live in Shittsburg but I realize they probably have the most devoted, knowledgeable fanbase of all. Bostons close to last in all categories of knowing anything at all about sports, rivaled by LA.
 
incorrect. the knicks are on the rise once again making it to the playoffs for the first time in a while and everybody knows theres nothing like a game at msg.

the jets were 1 close game away from the superbowl for the second year in a row and

the rangers are always good

last, i know nobody gives a shit about the mls but the red bulls are as good as it gets for soccer in america
 
montreal hockey-wise

expos :(

But for all around sports, boston or NYC. They all have so many good teams
 
my favorite Boston chant was when they were all singing "you say he's just a friend" but they would say YOOOOOOOOOOOUUKKK, instead of you
 
Single pro sport North American city? That's a tossup between a few...
Sacramento - Sell out even when the team's useless. Loud cowbells.

Portland - Fucking loud. From 1977-1995, had 814 straight sellouts - North American sports record.
2009078405.jpg
Winnipeg - Cheered on a non-existant team so much that they returned.
4813078.bin
Green Bay - There are probably Packers fans on Neptune...

Rig-Pig Alberta cities - Oil. Hockey. Beer. FUBAR.

Utah Jazz - Missionaries travel the world spreading good word of the Jazz's successes.

^Montreal gets honourable mention, but they had the Expos and lost them.. Vancouver's does too, but fanbase is just a bunch of douchebags and bandwagon jumpers (Perhaps not necessarily true, but I'm not too happy with them right now haha)
 
toronto's doing alright. the leafs are a major sports team. the raptors are canada's only basketball team, they may be getting canada's only nfl team, the blue jays are now canada's only baseball team, and for a while were unbelievably competitive and always high in the standings. they've got an mls team, cfl, etc etc you name it. but i think the fact that they have many of those 'canada's only team' in several of the major north american sports really increases their popularity.
toronto probably isn't the 'best' sports city, by any means, but if you go back to the 90s, you had the leafs doing well every year, the raptors were new, the blue jays had won a couple world series. i'd say that aint bad..
