Nerdwallet analyzed the following data to determine the best cities for sports fans:
1. Does the city have all four major sports? Only cities with all four major sports (MLB, NFL, NHL and NBA) in the city’s combined statistical area (as defined by the Census) were included in the top cities.
2. Do fans attend the games? We included attendance at home games as a percentage of stadium capacity in the calculation.
3. Can fans afford to attend the games? We included the average cost of NFL, NHL, MLB and NBA tickets.
4. Does the city have a sports culture? We assessed the sports culture by the number of sports bars in the city.
