Better sports? Metro Boston or Metro Detroit (incl Ann Arbor)?

Question

Pats, Sox, Celtics, Bruins, BC

vs.

Wolverines, Lions, Red Wings, Pistons, Tigers

Answer 1

Let's compare championships & playoff records over the past 10 years...

Patriots - 8 times to the playoffs, lost Super Bowl once, won Super Bowl 3 times

Lions - 2 times to wildcard playoffs (lost both)

WINNER: Patriots (by far)

Red Sox - 6 times to playoffs, won World Series twice

Tigers - 1 time to playoffs, lost World Series

WINNER: Red Sox

Celtics - 5 times to playoffs, won championship once

Pistons - 9 times to playoffs, won championship once, lost championship once

WINNER: Pistons (close)

Bruins - 5 times to playoffs

Red Wings - in playoffs every year, won 3 Stanley Cups

WINNER: Red Wings (by far)

BC Eagles Football - 9 bowl games, all non-BCS (8-1 record)

UM Wolverines Football - 11 bowl games, 5 BCS (6-5 record), 1 national championship (1998)

WINNER: Wolverines

TOTAL: 6 championships for Boston, 5 championships for Detriot.  So the edge might go to Boston, but I think Detroit is pretty close.

Great question -- it was fun looking up all the stats!!

Answer 2

Boston for sure
