It has to be Boston.
Call me biased but I'm going with Chicago.
I say Chicago because we have teams that are rich with history and tradition. The Cubs and Sox were founding teams in their leagues, same for the Bears and Blackhawks and the Bulls have Jordan and the six titles. It's the third largest market and whenever the Bears, Cubs, Bulls or Hawks play they always draw huge ratings.
Hmm. This is tough. I want to say Detroit. The Red Wings are always contenders. The Lions are the real deal. The Tigers are contenders. And the Pistons aren't far removed from dominating the Eastern Conference, and are never far from dominating again.
But, at the moment, I think Chicago takes the cake with Detroit a close second. The Bulls, Bears (before injury) and Blackhawks are all top teams and Chicago baseball is what it is.
It's Chicago and then Boston a very close second. Never been to Beantown but I know its a crazy sports town. Red Sox baseball is practically a religion over there and the Celtics are a historic franchise
Are you aware of the success of the Boston franchises (especially in the last 10 years)? And Boston fans are just as passionate, if not more, than Chicago fans.
I don't understand how Boston isn't running away with this poll. I don't follow Hockey, so maybe that's where Chicago makes up ground.
