Hey man, I didn't make the list. Dallas is top 5 for sports and the facts point to that. It's barely even debatable.

That said the Stars have suffered from bad ownership. That will be fixed soon.

Who cares about the NHL?

High school football: Dallas
College football: Dallas
Pro football: Dallas

I think that sums it up.

Dallas is just a spread out suburb. Minneapolis offers a real urban experience that Dallas lacks. Minneapolis has density and we all know Dallas does not. Dallas has a suburban feel and cant compete with Minneapolis when it come to a real city feel.

This is a Fort Worth resident/born and raised Texan responding to you.... and I care about the NHL and hockey in general.

Thanks for not building up the stereotype that Texans are alot more diverse in sports.

Ok, what's your point? That doesn't stop people from moving here. The population of Minneapolis has declined over the years but Dallas is still growing.

Dallas is a city that ranks 9th in population, and Minneapolis ranks 48th. How can you compare cities with such a vast difference in population?

That'll happen with as much land as Dallas has. But the Dallas METRO has grown substantially more than the Twin Cities -- which would be a better point. Will it sustain itself? Maybe. Let's see how the newcommers adjust to Dallas first.

Dallas is only using 249.5 sq mi of land. 30 sq mi is parks and floodplains, 63 sq mi is vacant, and 44.7 sq mi is water.
