The Official Ranking Of All The Major US Sports Cities From WORST To FIRST

Every major sports city ranked.

There are 30 U.S. cities that have at least two teams in the “big four” professional sports leagues: The NFL, NBA, NHL and MLB.

So, how do all 30 major US sports cities stack up against each other in terms of recent production, present state and long-term outlook? We’re here to solve that.

Again, this list is only including cities slash markets with at least two major teams. So, let’s get right to it!

This video should be renamed "Current Ranking of all Major Sport Cities". It seems they favor recent success more than overall success

[TomC]

how can you exclude the Anaheim Ducks but include the Angels when they play across the street from one another??

[pauleilerman]

I love the shifting standards between each city

[Derrek]

Bro how is Boston not one, they have more upside than LA, more chips, and a brighter future…

[Slapnfish]

Cincinnati is/should be at least top ten as of today. Bengals speak for themselves, the reds have shocked everyone, and FC is kicking butt. Our city hasn’t been this happy in like 50 years.

video idea: ranking every special team unit in the nfl

The thing about Milwaukee is that the Packers are an honorary team there. Not only have they been THE most popular team throughout Wisconsin for the last 30 years, they also played 3 games a year down in MKE up until 1994 (and still sell tickets to those games separately as a "Milwaukee ticket package").

I find it baffling that my city was ranked number 12. Let alone made it past 20. Minneapolis hasn’t even made it to a championship in over 30 years in any of the 4 major sports. (No I don’t count the Minnesota Lynx). I get that none of my teams are bad, but they are always labeled as the default teams that are fun to watch in the season, but always get eliminated early in the playoffs. I just wish my teams can get out of the cycle of being good, but not good enough. It’s tough being a Minnesota sports fan.

You guys should do the best and worst moment all time for every nfl team

[Beefarito]

How is Chicago 15th? With 3 dynasty’s over the past 30 years and both baseball teams have won a WS… cubs in 2016 was monumental… i really don’t understand how the twin cities could ever be higher than chicago. When did they last win anything

[jakeatom]

Miami is going to be higher up there soon. Panthers and Heat in the finals, Marlins are strong, Dolphins have possibly the best roster in the NFL, and Inter-Miami just signed Messi.

[Imtheallfather]

I’m from Minneapolis but we’re way to high on this list

[angeloroncone]

How are you gonna say buffalo is one of the worst sports cities based off of team success? They have some of the most loyal fanbases and will do anything for sports

[thMandalorian]

Seattle Sounders won the Champions League last season too, becoming the first MLS side to do so

[samjgollings]

Hold up, I don’t necessarily disagree with the ranking but put a bit of respect on the Diamondbacks? They are actually pretty damn good right now. And same for the Texas Rangers who are the second best team in baseball at the moment.

[Soundersfan]

The Seattle Sounders won the MLS cup in 2018 how come nobody talks about that accomplishment?

Perhaps you are not aware that the LA Angels play in Anaheim, across the street (Katella) from Anaheim Stadium. If you count the Angels, you must count the Ducks!

It's interesting to mention Brooklyn as "not a new York team" then discuss two football teams that play in New Jersey...
