This is my list of sports capitals based on attendance and value in MLS MLB NHL NBA and NFL.
Tier 1
New York City
Los Angeles
Boston
Toronto
Chicago
Tier 2
Dallas
Washington DC
Houston
Philly
Tier 3
Atlanta
San Francisco
Seattle
Portland
Tier 4 (no particular order)
Green Bay
Montreal
Miami
Denver
Charlotte
St. Louis
Tier 5 (no particular order)
Edmonton
Baltimore
San Diego
Nashville
Cincinnati
Raleigh
Tampa
Vancouver
Minneapolis
Cleveland
I personally wanted to kick San Diego and St. Louis up a notch just because of a phenomenal fan experience at mlb games but that wouldn't be objective.
Where is DETROIT?!?! Seems like it should be at least Tier 4, probably Tier 3. Also need to include Milwaukee -- at least Tier 5.
... and, ah, this is the way to rate a quality sports city, eh?
As I've always said about such 'ratings', the raters carefully utilize certain criteria to reach skewed, subjective outcomes. This is a perfect example.

one of the biggest red flags is people ranking NYC high. Unless you're into Tennis, NYC is an pro awful sports city. Most expensive, most stands filled with corporate seats, poorly supported teams, etc. etc.

Even though lots of people think this, you are on a forum with a ton of New York Boosters. Get ready for the backlash and heat you are about to take lmao.
But to add, most “Yankee” fans don’t even know where they play. Same here in Jersey, but people in Jersey really don’t care about New York sports as they used too.
Philly's support for their sports teams is insane, gotta be tier 1. It was literally a massive party in center city when the eagles won the super bowl.
Meanwhile in LA, when the Rams won the super bowl the parade looked like one for the WNBA
Location: Miami (prev. NY, Atlanta, SF, OC and San Diego)

How in the world would Portland rank ahead of Miami with no NFL, NHL, MLB, no World Baseball Classic host city, no major tennis tournament, no Formula 1, no Messi or World Cup host city, no major bowl games (Orange Bowl, Super Bowl)??

This is taken too seriously. I was just looking at mlb, nfl, nhl, mls and nba attendance and value of the teams. If you don't like it, come up with your own criteria and make a list.

Based on your criteria (MLB, NFL, NHL) still a little puzzled. Provided my input earlier.
