What is the worst city to be a sports fan in?

Question

What do you think? Do you agree with this atricle:

http://sports.yahoo.com/top/news?slug=ys-forbesbadcities082008&prov=yhoo&type=lgns

The article bases it's calculations on ticket pricing and winning percentage....tough to argue with, right?

I could see an argument if you're ONLY a Giants fan and not a Jets fan or ONLY a Hockey fan and not a football fan, etc. But I think I agree with the article.

Any thoughts?

Answer 1

I think it is a very "numbers" article...  why does it not include cities that DON'T have a top tier professional sports team... what about a city like Fayetteville, Arkansas where all they have is College... or a city like Barrow, Alaska, where all they have is... ...  semi-pro hockey?

Answer 2

i agree with the aritcle. it must suck to be a miami fan these days. but i think new york giants and yankees are very successful so they shouldn't be in the top 5 worst.

Answer 3

Beijing's not looking good
