I'm now in the Houston area and ever since I've been here, it's been "Texans this..." and "Texans that...". They might be winning now, but I'm pretty shure that the Astros were the #1 team in H-town... am I right?
Just to settle an argument.... I wanna post your area's #1 sports team
(Excluding Green Bay, San Antonio, Sacramento, Jacksonville, Portland, Salt Lake City, and the places with no pro sports franchise.)
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong... and chances are I will be since half of these are just assumptions.
Naw,for Cleveland its the Browns.Thier not the team thats doing the best right now,but its the most popular team in Cleveland definetly.The Indians would come second followed by the Cavs.
JJG, the Chicago Bears are a very close second to the Chicago Cubs. Half of Chicago would probably be willing to let the Bears move to Los Angeles if it meant the Cubs winning a world series.
In my first childhood city of Washington DC, it's definitely The Washington Redskins. In my second childhood state of North Carolina (Greensboro), it would have to be The North Carolina Tar Heels basketball, then the Carolina Panthers, in my opinion anyway, maybe another North Carolinian can chime in on this one.
In my current city of Indianapolis, it's The Indianapolis Colts, the SuperBowl Champs, the pacers' popularity keeps droping due to player problems with the law.
Well like I said, half of these are just assumptions. So with Chicago, I didn't think of the Cubs as #1 since the city has 2 baseball teams. I was close to typing the Bulls, as a matter of fact.
I only did teams in the Big Four pro sports leauges. I'll do a college version later...
You are correct about STL and KC also. About a month into the Royals season they are already talking Chiefs again (a bit sarcastic here, but not by much).
STL is such a baseball town that the Rams could go on a run like the Patriots have (actually they did 99-2002 or so), and it wouldn't even make a dent in all the Cardinal talk. Has been and always will be a baseball town.
Having been born and raised in Georgia, I would say the Braves are the # 1 sports team in Atlanta, not the Falcons.
in my opinion, Atlanta is just not a good sports town. I've been to at least 10 Braves games and there are always empty seats...and when they play Boston, the Sox fans outnumber Braves fans 2 to 1.
I watched a Hawks game on TV last year and there MIGHT have been 3,000 people in the stands at tip off.
