3) Sports Fans : Tough call. Stereortype hard-ass NYC fan vs. laid back LA fan.
4) Other : Stadiums (Yankee stadium, MSG vs. Colesium, Dodger stadium), etc

So what say you?
Neither, Boston hands down!!!!!!

NYC > LA.

LA is one of the worst sports cities IMO. Has nothing to do with the teams. Its all about how closely the city identifies with its teams and the passion of the fans.

NYC, Chicago, Philly and Boston set the standard for sports cities in this country.

Detroit and Buffalo id put after them. The rest fights amongst themselves.


No other city compares to the passion of Rangers/Knicks, Eagles/Flyers, Red Sox, Cubs, Lions, Bills/Sabres, etc.

There are only two championships among 9 of these teams, but the passion is second to none for them.

Raiders fans otoh mess with anyone and don't give a crap. There have been stabbings inside their games, and last season I was just reading an article about a dude repping an opposing team in the Black Hole who got stomped by other fans and then when the OPD came and he thought he'd be helped the cop twisted his arm and talked sh*t to him. So a lot of Raider fans may be classless low lives, but they are no joke. Philly (Eagles at least) fans from my experience are only a step up from the idiot Seahawks fans.

The Vet and the Linc had/have jail cells. Does Oakland?

We do, it's called "USC".

OK, a team and a half. We have UCLA too.
