According to The Sporting News' Best Sports Cities. St. Louis doesn't even have a basketball team. http://www.thesportingnews.com/sportscities2000/ Houston came in # 18. At least we are in the top 20. ------------------ "Oh, God, Johnny, don't point that gun at me There's so many ways our lives have changed But please, I beg, don't do this to me" - New Order
Houston sucks as a sports city. And I live in Houston. The fans are the most fair-weatherd. No football and no hockey either. Hopefully nothing happens to the Rockets. ------------------ Fun Police Says: 1. Posting in stupid threads is not FUN! 2. Spelling, grammar, punctuation and sentence structure are not FUN! 3. Stupid BBS names are not FUN! 4. Annoying Mango can be really FUN! 5. Conduct yourself in a FUN way! The Fun Police are Watching. Eat MANGOES & Have FUN or be Assimilated.
As a note -- which should make Houstonians feel better. This has absolutely nothing to do with fans, facilities, city support, revenue, public support, playoffs / championships or even budget issues. The ranking is based purely on a mathmatical formula which divides the win/loss record by the number of professional sporting teams. It's a mathmatical formula based on who had the best record per professional team. Since the Rams, Cardinals, and Blues all had a great year, they came out on top. The Rockets had a bad year, and even though the Astros had a good one it pulled us down some. BTY -- anlthough according to the survey, home town pride wasn't involved , the Sporting news is based in St. Louis. ------------------ Stay Cool...
