Football…. football…. football!

America’s most popular game is gearing up for the biggest spectacle in our nation’s gaming landscape: the Super Bowl. It’s this Sunday between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers. Or if you’re like me, it’s the Who Cares and the Who Cares.
Anyway, I still love football. WalletHub tried to quantify how much U. S. cities love soccer. He delved into the stats ahead of Super Bowl LVIII on Sunday.
For the most productive places to play America’s favorite sport, WalletHub compared more than 240 U. S. cities to the U. S. The U. S. team has at least one school or professional soccer team based on 21 key metrics. -WH
WalletHub ranked cities out of 100 points. 75 points dedicated to NFL metrics (Number of NFL Championship Wins, Franchise Value, NFL Fan Engagement, Stadium Size and Average Ticket Price to name a few) and 25 points allocated towards college football presence (Number of College Football Teams, Performance of College Football Teams, Stadium Capacity, etc.)

The University of Montana campus was registered before the Montana State University city. Missoula ranked 65th, while Bozeman ranked 92nd.
Both cities are clearly not attached to any NFL teams, but some of the other free NFL cities listed above seem ridiculous to me. For example, how is Kingston, Rhode Island (#60) a bigger soccer city than Missoula? Kingston has two schools, I grant that point, but you can’t tell me that the University of Rhode Island and Brown Football have a stronger fan base than Montana. Or Ypsilanti, Michigan (#68) and Eastern Michigan University?
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Dallas, Texas, and Green Bay, Wisconsin were the three most sensible cities on the list. It’s not like all three are home to an iconic NFL franchise.
The last 3 were Easton, Massachusetts, Valparaiso, Indiana and Bloomington, Indiana. If I can tell which school is in Easton, MA, I will be very impressed. Valparaiso has Valpo State and Bloomington has the Hoosiers.
Easton has the UMass Minutemen. Apparently, Eastonians don’t care for football.
WalletHub is ranked as one of the most soccer-passionate cities in the United States. Where is Missoula?n
