    Best Sports Cities

    http://aol.sportingnews.com/sport/story/2011-10-04/best-sports-cities-the-list-from-1-to-271


    Don't tell the Valley that we're the highest one from the conference, including a generous gap ahead of the elitist capital of the modern world itself, Omaha, Nebraska. Even with a big boost of having the CWS there wasn't enough to sniff us.. :good:

    The other elitists from Larryville are only a couple of dozen spots ahead. Must be a mistake. The gap shouldn't be that close.
    Deuces Valley.
    ... No really, deuces.

        Terre Haute is rated higher than Omaha.

        On the flip side, Lawrence is rated higher than Wichita.

        I don't understand how KC can be as low as it is.

          Honestly, most of that list doesn't make much sense.

            Anyone who thinks that Los Angeles is a top 10 sports city is insane. Having lived there, I know it to be a horrible sports town. There is a reason the second largest city in the U.S. can't even support an NFL team. From my observation, 90% of the people that attend sports in LA have never seen the last quarter of any event, much less the end of one.

              various categories, including but not limited to, won-lost records, postseason appearances, applicable power ratings, number of teams and attendance.
              That should cover most questions. Sounds like just a bunch of random numbers thrown onto a list.

                Wichita might be #1 if they included sports-bars in the rubric. Nary a new bar opens in the ICT without a flatscreens jammed in all the corners.
                The truth will set you free. But first, it will piss you off.

                  I could slip in a "the ones that can run, jump, and swim" joke here but I won't.

                  :D

                    Considering the categories these ratings were given for, I don't think it's that surprising where KC ranks.

                    Now, looking at cities objectively, without any type of statistics, that list probably wouldn't even resemble anything like this one.

                      Kent, OH; Colo Springs; Fort Collins ahead of Wichita? The sheep don't support any sport.

                      A physician called into a radio show and said:

                        And Manhattan, at 74, is higher than Lawrence. :shock:

                          Manhattan got a lot of run for their top-10 nationally ranked equestrian team. Even if there are only 6 equestrian teams in the nation - KSU is top-10.
                          The future's so bright - I gotta wear shades.
                          We like to cut down nets and get sized for championship rings.

                              The Little Apple is also higher than Austin. Sorry, but I've been to both, and I'm not buying it.
