For #42, maybe Salt Lake City? Jazz, part of NBA.
For this list, I've only included cities with multiple professional sports...
That's why I suggested its position as # 42. Waaaaaaaaaaaaay down the list. But we are so very proud of our one team. After all, SLC was chastized repeatedly by the NBA for noise and ranked the noisiest basketball fans in the nation by the teams that played there. It finally eased up when the NBA threatened the Jazz with severe fines if it didn't ease up. And I just had to tease.
Why #42. This list goes to 27
Does LeBron alone put Cleveland at number 8?
I'm also factoring in fan interest. Browns have a great history and the Indians have been one of the better teams of the past decade, not counting the past two years.
