The thing about Milwaukee is that the Packers are an honorary team there. Not only have they been THE most popular team throughout Wisconsin for the last 30 years, they also played 3 games a year down in MKE up until 1994 (and still sell tickets to those games separately as a "Milwaukee ticket package").

[@Slapnfish]

Cincinnati is/should be at least top ten as of today. Bengals speak for themselves, the reds have shocked everyone, and FC is kicking butt. Our city hasn’t been this happy in like 50 years.

[@aaronmiller681]

I find it baffling that my city was ranked number 12. Let alone made it past 20. Minneapolis hasn’t even made it to a championship in over 30 years in any of the 4 major sports. (No I don’t count the Minnesota Lynx). I get that none of my teams are bad, but they are always labeled as the default teams that are fun to watch in the season, but always get eliminated early in the playoffs. I just wish my teams can get out of the cycle of being good, but not good enough. It’s tough being a Minnesota sports fan.

And the Reds aren't very good, but their like the Lions from a couple years ago, yeah they aren't the best record wise, but their exiting as h*** to watch and have a lot of really good young talent like Jonathan India, Elly De La Cruz, Matt McClain, and Spencer Steer.
