The NBA crushes the NHL in TV money, media coverage and global appeal. I say that as more of a hockey fan.

Phoenix has 4 teams, but only 2 are within the city limits, the Suns (NBA) and Diamondbacks (MLB). Glendale (western burb) houses the Cardinals (NFL) and Coyotes (NHL).

The only reason why Minneapolis doesn't have 4 is because St. Paul was all butt hurt about not having a professional team (NHL). Building the Xcel Center in St. Paul when Minneapolis already had the Target Center was totally irresponsible.

Actually same with Chicago's MLS team - the city limits are right on the other side of the stadium's parking lot.

Agreed, I'd go big 4 or big 3. Would also be interesting to add in BCS D1 schools, or non-BCS D1 as well. College football is bigger than most pro sports.

many FBS schools are outside of cities

There is one in Philly but is Temple so not a football powerhouse or significant draw PSU has a much larger following in Philadelphia than does Temple for football

there are 5 Division 1 (6 if you include Villanova which plays nearly half their home game games in Philly) basketball teams in Philly

^ Well, exactly. There are 2 in Milwaukee, but only one is a major conference. And neither plays football.

No, the village of Bedford Park sits between the Stadium in Bridgeview and the city limits of Chicago. Chicago is still less than a mile away, but it's not right on the other side of the parking lot.
