The rules of this are simple, but let's keep this civil.

Just so it is clear again within the post, "Big League" is being defined as a city that has a professional sports team (Big 4), so no, your city is not being "knocked" if it isn't included.

Now, I think there will be a few places that are traditionally considered "Sun Belt" that you see not listed here. But, in the interest of dividing it up effectively by region, and sort of just jumbling things up a little more, Miami, Jacksonville, Charlotte and Raleigh will not be included in this pool.

The "range" on which cities are being judged is within 60 miles of the CBD, however, I at least give some preference if many of the natural features are right within the downtown area or at least within 20 miles. Obviously all of this is subjective, so diversity is of a high priority.

Edit: Pictures are encouraged! If I had to say, I'd go with Atlanta, however everyone's preferences will be different.

Why not just say southern instead of sunbelt? Sunbelt implies southwest first and foremost, then maybe southern depending on who you ask.

I had never heard that. Yeah for me it always implied southern, but really that it ended at about Texas. I suppose as an East Coaster I consider everything past that to be the West.

the only city with 4 teams in all major sports is Dallas, so it would win by default.

Edit: misread the criteria so nevermind.

Of those choices, I have to wonder why Miami was left out

Lol, I see how you read it that way, but it just says a city has to have one of the 4, not all.

Miami will be among the East Coast regional, which is part of the reason why I didn't want to say South in terms of Organization because they and Jacksonville wouldn't fit into too well among the "North".

Sunbelt big leagues....so why did you leave out Phoenix, LA, and San Diego.
Edit: Okay gotcha, you thought sunbelt meant southern. You should probably change the title of your thread so you can avoid people asking the same quesion/angry homers who comment as to why their western sunbelt city was not listed.
