Dallas was ranked as #1 sports city in the nation, while Houston was ranked #24.

I think you guys need to build stadiums in Dallas that's what I think.

I think Dallas is a better sports city, but like jluke I dont see Houston being that far down the list.

"Best" is subjective anyway. I think Dallas is top 5 in the US for sports cities, but that can change year to year. Dallas is one of only 5 cities that have their own ESPN affiliate (the others being NYC, Boston, Chicago, and LA).

The finding should have been "DFW is a better sports metro." Then I would agree.

Yeah Dallas as a city only has two teams. The Mavericks & Stars.

If you wanna catch a football, baseball, or soccer game you gotta drive 20-30 miles.

LOL the inferiority complex in this thread is hilarious, yes DFW has a better sports scene than Houston on many levels (including High School).

As of today when it comes to football, that's a hell yes but that's it.

The Rockets are overall better than the Mavericks.

But football, some high school teams are better than the Texans.

The Texans have won more games than the Cowgirls so far this season if you've been staying abreast.

Dallas is the laughing stock of the NFL in case you haven't noticed. You know ****s about to hit the fan when Romo snubs Jerrah Jones.

Um, that's this season. The Texans have sucked for SO many years I've given up on watching them. I know they were new and all so that gave them some leeway but they just kept getting rougher and worse.

I don't even like the Cowboys but I really don't like having no love for my home teams. They've just been so bad for so long and when they do win here and there it just seems like a tiny blip and a whoa, talk about luck kind of win.
