No Pittsburgh. 5 superbowls, 2 Cups, uh, a few World Series rings (sorry Bucs, don't follow your history as well as I probably should), the Pitt Panthers (both basketball and football)....this is a blue collar city that loves it's sports teams and even if we're broke we spend our paychecks buying gear or going to games (and parking and beer). You cannot go anywhere without spotting someone wearing jersies left and right. Does anyone see how well our fans travel??

Are you listed, not listed, and do you agree with these rankings?

  1. Pirates have 5 Titles, until recently that was as many as the Red Sox and more recent. The Steelers have 5 Superbowls, MORE then the Patriots, who play in FOXBORO not Boston. Seriously they include Atlanta? I don't know who dreamed these up but even with College I wouldn't be including Atlanta.

    Oh and the Pats are kings? LOL seriously you realize all three of those Superbowls were won when they were ILLEGALLY TAPING THE DEFENSIVE SIGNALS OF OTHER TEAMS. Yes the Coach admitted he was doing it the whole time he was in New England. They finally get back to the Superbowl and we assume they had stopped taping and they LOSE.


  2. Baltimore is not listed, I'm not suprised, so no, I am not listed.

    I don't mind Pen fans but I can't stand rude Pen fans...you sound like you're ready to pick a fight, if you knew this was going to make Detroit fans mad then why did you post it?

    ...and yes, I do agree with Ryan

    bring on those childish thumbs downs!

  3. I think Pittsburgh and Philly both HAVE to beat out Atlanta and Raleigh.  I mean, come on!  And, in my humble opinion, Pittsburgh transcends city limits.  No matter where the Steelers or Pens are playing, they have a following and a crowd presence.  The Pirates, well, not so much.  And the whole city rallies around the teams - you can't go outside on a game day and not run into people wearing jerseys.

  4. go red wings,tigers,lions,pistons,shock,wolveri...

  5. If it comes from ESPN, I take little from it. I rank them with Sports Illustrated, way down at the bottom of my list. First, anything they have to say about hockey, (which is very little), is ussally inaccurate at best. Raleigh and Nascar, yeee haw, thats my sports city,... Some tool, is looking to get noticed, so he writes an article, and tries to ruffle other peoples feathers. When ESPN's opinion of me, and the city of Detroit fans,  as well as the other cities they dissed starts to matter, they have won.  Put their opinions right were I put a free issue of SI, in the trash!!!!!!

  6. What bothered me was the post: If you still count hockey as a sport than Detroit might make the top 50.

  7. who cares what they say about Detroit. or how grreat Pitt is. Whoooooo! Pitt is great..........but wait.......wheres the Cup? DETROIT! thats all that matters

  8. Professional Sports Championships in the United States

    New York City Area : 53

    34 Baseball - 26Yankees + 5Giants + 2Mets +Dodgers

    11 Hockey - 4Rangers + 4Islanders + 3Devils

    8 Football - 7 Giants + Jets

    2 Basketball Knicks

    Boston: 34

    17 Basketball Celtics

    9 Baseball -7 Red Sox +Braves +Americans

    5 Hockey Bruins

    3 Football Patriots

    Chicago: 24

    10 Football - 8 Bears +2 Cardinals

    6 Basketball Bulls

    5 Baseball - 3 White Sox + 2 Cubs

    3 Hockey Black Hawks

    Detroit:22

    11 Hockey Red Wings

    4 Football Lions

    4 Baseball Tigers

    3 Pistons Basketball

    Los Angelas 18

    Philadelphia 16

    San Fransisco/Bay Area 12

    Pittsburgh 12

    -College sports may change this list considerably as the University of Michigan would add Eleventy Billion to Detroit as would Stanford to the Bay Area, USC to LA etc. If you were to add Montreal and Toronto, they would both be in the top 10 as well.

    Title town is stupid, just look at the facts.

  9. No, I frankly don't care about the hating on Detroit.  The Tigers are in the hunt for the AL Central, the Pistons are perennial contenders in the Eastern Conference, the Wings are the current owners of the Holiest of Holies, and the Lions were never meant to be good in the first place... I think that's why Millen has a job.

    That Yahoo article is c**p to begin with.  They list Raleigh basically due to one sport:  college basketball.  Atlanta?  Seriously?  Even the Braves aren't any good anymore, and nobody went out to see them when they were good.  Besides the White Sox in '05, Chicago hasn't been relevant in sports since Jordan retired.  Boston is legit.  Austin is on the list because of Longhorn football... and proximity to pro sports teams?  Lame.  New York and LA are on there due to the sheer overwhelming number of franchises... they're bound to win something in some sport sometime.

    Detroit, Pittsburgh, Columbus, St. Louis, Denver, Philly, Boston.  That's my list of best sports cities, in no particular order.

  10. our fans travelled better than the detroit fans did in the finals. that is not something that happens very often in detroit, even though they hardly ever sell out anymore, they still travelled very well. but we outdid them by far.

  11. Detroit fans hate a lot.

    Im Redwings fan, keep going Im reading. Lol

  12. well then the pats in football are kings.........boston seems to be in every final it seems in every sport except hockey.........

    i hate boston but i have to give the nod to boston.
