Which U.S. city has the best pro sports arenas (football and baseball stadiums and domes, and basketball and hockey arenas)? Why, because of the location, transit options, history, newness, etc?

Let's not forget Miller Park in Milwaukee where the Brew Crew play, Miller Park was voted best place to watch a baseball game in 2006. As for the hockey arena where the Bucks play forget it all together, it's the oldest arena in the Nba and it's only 20yrs old.

Not only does Indy have the newly being built Football covered stadium but the newer Fieldhouse for basketball and Victory Field for baseball and all are RIGHT DOWNTOWN within walking distance of each other and all the other downtown facilities. Talk about convenient and all new or almost new.
New hotels going up, easy transport to airport and centrally located. Home of the Super Bowl winning Colts.
Downtown also has the Circle Center Mall an enclosed multi story mall with Nordstrums and lots of restaurants.

The Bobcats Arena in Charlotte is pretty cool, don't care for the NBA, but they have great concerts there.

This is a tough thread, and Im probably gonna sound like a homer, but Im gonna vote Chicago on this one. Reason being we have some great venues. Ill start with Soldier Field. While Im not a fan of the exterior design, the interior has vastly improved, with all seats being close to the field, and a nice design overall. The fact that they kept the collonades outside is pretty neat too. Overall its a great place to watch a football game, one that is steeped in history and tradition.
US Cellular Field (White Sox) is pretty decent. It replaced the aging (but cool) Comiskey Park. Some of the old Comiskey Park cues made it into the new field (ie the pinwheels on the scoreboard), and sightlines are rather good.
United Center (Bulls and Blackhawks): a great place to take in a game. All seats are good, no obstructions. Its pretty basic inside, no real exciting frills, but its perfect to take in a game.
Wrigley Field: 'Nuff said.
