2007 Best Sports City

The Sporting News has completed its annual Best Sports City evaluation and Detroit has come out on top for the 2nd time in the last decade.

Ironically, ESPN's Colin Cowerd was discussing yesterday on his show that LA is a better overall sports town than New York. What he forgot to do before starting his debate is to actually look-up some data - LA is nowhere near the #1 spot, or #2 for that matter. Of course, these rankings are subjective in nature when choosing the objective measures to rank the cities, but at least the Sporting News has a method behind their madness rather than just putting forth a blind opinion, which is what Cowerd does often.

Over the last 4 years, Detroit & Boston are tied for the top spot and there appears to be no let off in sight for either city.
