LA84 Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Sporting News is out with it's annual rankings of U.S. Sports Cities and Chicago comes in at No. 1 Chicago No. 1 Sports City for 2006 I think the USOC should use this ranking to come to their final conclusion as to who the 2016 candidate should be.

baron-pierreIV Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 But they still need to bite the bullet for $700 mil and BUILD a new stadium. Dish that stupid 'temp' and double-stadium ideas; and raze the ugly Soldier Field afterwards. That'll get the IOC's attention fer shure. Just checked the list. That is the most subjective list ever. First they say they cut off the hyphenated-conjoined areas, so NO Washington DC-Baltimore or SF-Oakland-SJ areas. But then if you look at the list they still have Dallas-Fort Worth; Oakland has been chopped off from San Francisco (down to #43 -- which is why I've said, by itself, SF is really more an artsy-fartsy city than any other) but the strange list adjoins Oakland WITH Berkeley!! Huh? ANd all those inconsistencies go on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave199 Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Who's going to take that ranking seriously anyways? The IOC? Hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOlympiadsW Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 that's great for Chicago, but again isn't going to help them with neither the USOC or IOC at the end of the day...they better get working on those "glitches" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nykfan845 Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 That list is so inconsistent. And New York was number ten last year? Give me a break. Post number 1,000! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LA84 Posted August 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Please - somebody over on the SF threads referenced this list when SF was listed at #5 last year. Just thought I would bring things up to date Who's going to take that ranking seriously anyways? The IOC? Hahaha Sure - why I bet when Anita is all over this!

mgescuro Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Please - somebody over on the SF threads referenced this list when SF was listed at #5 last year. Just thought I would bring things up to date SF's ranking was lower as it is no longer associated with the rest of the Bay Area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOlympiadsW Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 oh please everyone stop whining!...this is soooo trivial and will have no impact on this race, not to mention SF and Chicago both have a lot more than some stupid list to worry about right now....

Besides I believe that list is weighted towards (1) NFL football; (2) major league baseball -- both sports NOT on the Olympic slate; (3) the NBA (though 2 and 3 could be interchangeable); (4) ice hockey; (5) mud wrestling; (6) MLS. Let's see -- but SF is #1 in bocce!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox334 Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Well, it does, actualy. Its an Americain study, and I am shure the NCAA got about ten time more atention that the CFL, not to mentione CIS (the canadian equivalent to the NCAA).
