    I think basketball can actually win out on the west coast because we don't have the same history with baseball and football... baseball is so ingrained on the east coast, and football is the bees knees in the south.

    Cleveland? No Way! Maybe the last 3 years, but that's it.

    Toronto- HELL NO! That's the MapleLeaf's town.

    Houston. I'd say maybe.

    I'd say Cleveland is mostly associated with the Browns.

    So I took the Cleveland angle of this discussion and asked a friend of mine who is originally from there and he said the Browns as well. I thought for sure it was the Indians because this current version of the Browns is not the original franchise, and the Indians have been in CLE forever.

    Nope, the Dolphins have been there longer and are much more popular than the Heat.

    Nope again, see above. Definitely the Saints town. The Hornets haven't been there nearly as long and they fled the town for OKC for two years after Hurricane Katrina. So, they've actually only played 5 seasons in New Orleans. The Saints have been there since 1967, and really only missed half a season of home games due to Hurrucan Katrina (they played four "home" games at the Alamodome in San Antonio and 4 at LSU's Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge). They have a waiting list of over 25,000 people for season tickets. The Hornets typically draw between 14,000 and 16,000 for home games (they drew more when they played in their temporary home in OKC). Not even close, NO is, and always will be, a Saints town.

    Yankees are head and shoulders above the Knicks.

    i fixed this. Consider how many championships the Celtics have won. Then consider how many the Red Sox have won.

    I have a good one: Chicago? I would go with Cubs, if it's not during the Jordan era.

    Does that matter? I mean look how many the Bulls have won compared to the Cubs. The Redsox rule, I had somehow spaced them off when thinking of Boston. The Yankees probably too, but NYers are split a bit with the Mets, and not so in Basketball. That's why I thought that.

    Boston is a tossup between the Pats and Red Sox right now.

    It was a basketball city until the late 80's though.

    They might like the Avalanche more as well.....

    The Rockies and Broncos both draw more per game

    The Nuggets don't draw 100%, so that goes out the window. More people attend Rockies games than Nuggets games.

    Denver was at 89%. I think that easily outdraws the % of Rockies fans though

    In terms of the Boston people, it's not even close. Hell, the Celtics weren't even selling out the Garden in the 60s when they were winning the title every year.
