I've been to Citizens Bank, and Man, Philly guys are crazy, just an FYI, do NOT bring up TO.LOL

MPLS probably is the worst if it had not just built TCF Bank for the Gophs football and Target Field for the Twins.

lol you kinda sound like the folks of MPLS area that Garrison Keillor chronicles in his popular radio show, A Prairie Home Companion. I mean this as a compliment.

Los Angeles has some great sports arenas:

Dodger Stadium is getting a bit old but it was built in a ravine so the natural slope allows people to enter the ballpark at the top\highest\ cheaper seats & not the other way around. I don't think there are any other stadiums built on a steep hillside.

Staples Center is one of the flashiest basketball courts\ also ice hockey rings in the nation.

Angels Stadium is also fairly new & has a train station so people can take the Coastliner instead of driving.

Los Angeles Coliseum was the NFL stadium for the Raiders & Rams but it is too old for a new team & why a new stadium may be built outside LA [I hope].

Rose Bowl hosts local NCAA football as well as super bowl games on occasion & is considered one of the best football fields in America.

Home Depot Center where the LA Galaxy play has the highest seating capacity of any soccer stadium in the U.S. & is mostly shaded.

Our football stadium isn't anything special and our basketball arena is pretty boring. However our baseball stadium is pretty nice. So for overall sports facilities, I understand why we wouldn't rate that highly.

I still call it Jacob's Field, and that place is so cool

Really, NYC cannot be beaten on this... And I'm including all of the NY metro, since everyone else has (rightfully) included the metros of their cities in giving their examples (e.g. attributing the Angels stadium to L.A.).

Here is what NY/NJ metro has in terms of sports and arenas/ballparks/stadiums:

- Madison Square Garden - one of the most iconic arenas in the nation, long-time home to the Knicks and Rangers as well as St. John's U. Div.1 NCAA basketball, Big East
- Old/New Yankee Stadium
- Shea Stadium/CitiField (NY Mets)
- Nassau Coliseum (NY Islanders)
- Izod Center (formerly Continental Airlines Arena) - former home to NJ Nets and Devils
- Old/New Giants Stadium - NY Giants and NY Jets; also has hosted Big East Div.1A (FBS) Rutgers home football games, featured other Div. 1A college games, and Army Div.1A football
- Rutgers Stadium - home to FBS (Div.1A) Big East Football Rutgers Scarlet Knights
- Rutgers Louis Brown Athletic Center - Big East Div.1A Men's and Women's Scarlet Knights basketball
- Rutgers facilities for all other Div. 1A sports including swimming, diving, soccer, lax, baseball, golf, etc.
- Prudential Center in Newark, NJ - a BEAUTIFUL brand new arena, home to the NJ Devils and NJ Nets as well as Seton Hall Div.1A NCAA Big East Basketball; also home to the ironmen arena football team
- Red Bull Stadium, Harrison, NJ - home of the NY Red Bulls Pro Soccer team
- Bears and Eagles Stadium, Newark, NJ - Newark Bears Minor League baseball
- KeySpan Stadium, Coney Island (Brooklyn), NY - Brooklyn Cyclones Minor League baseball (NY Mets affiliate)
- Richmond County Bank Ballpark, Staten Island, NY - Staten Island Yankees Minor League baseball
- Yogi Berra Stadium, Little Falls, NJ - NJ Jackals Minor League Baseball
- Horse racing at the Meadowlands, Yonkers, Belmont, Aqueduct, and Freehold

I know I have left several others out (professional minor league and arena football, lax, etc.), but I think that list already blows away most others....But 2 MLB teams, 2 NFL teams,, 3 NHL teams, 2 NBA teams, and a litany of minor league, College Div.1A, and other professional teams....Seriously, what other cities/metros even come close???

There are teenagers who recently witnessed the first Dallas Cowboys playoff victory of their lifetimes.

Have you heard Philly has traded McNabb to the Redskins. Now the Eagles are really going to suck!

Or perhaps it means Cowboys will have to face two teams in the same conference twice that would likely give them headaches, instead of just one team as in the past decade or so.
