City Rankings

Sports Illustrated recently came out with their rankings of top football stadiums in the country based on these criteria: affordability and food, tailgating, team quality, atmosphere, and accessibility. It is nice to note that Green Bay finished in first, but hear are a few of my rants:
  • Green Bay finished 2nd in tailgating behind Buffalo, that's just odd to me.
  • Green Bay finished 4th in accessibility. Seeing that season tickets are sold out for the next 237 years, I would say that it is very inaccessible.
  • Seattle finished 4th in Team Quality. Have you seen them play this year?
  • It is nice to see the 3 other NFC North teams, Minnesota, Chicago, and Detroit finishing in the bottom half, with Minnesota and Detroit the 3rd and 2nd worst respectively.
  • It is also nice to see St. Louis as the lowest ranked. I lived in the "Nation's Most Dangerous City" for five years. It is a hell hole. Their team is terrible. It is impossible to get to it downtown, and football should not be played indoors.
  • As a side note it is nice to see the great state of Wisconsin finished 1st for NFL stadiums and 2nd for MLB stadiums.
