Sporting News names Detroit second-best sports city

How bad of a sportstown is Detroit?

“The Red Wings are a highlight for Motown, but the Pistons are a consistent winner in the winter, too, and though the Tigers struggled this year, they are a fan favorite,” said Sporting News chief of correspondents Bob Hille, who has coordinated the rankings the past 12 years. “And like the Wings’ Darren McCarty told us: If and when the Lions get things together, watch out!”
This year’s list, which appears in the Oct. 13 issue (on sale today), features more than 400 cities and towns in the United States and Canada, ranked by factors such as number of teams and their regular-season won-lost records, playoff berths, bowl appearances and tournament bids; championships; fan fervor; franchise ownership; and marquee appeal of athletes.
“When the teams in your city are doing well, you feel good about where you live, not just as a sports fan but as a citizen,” Hille said.
