If you’re a big fan of football, the city where you live could make a difference in your experience with the game.
With Super Bowl LVI just around the corner, WalletHub decided to find out which U.S. cities are the best for football fans this year.
For its report, WalletHub compared 245 U.S. cities with at least one professional football team or at least one college football team. Those cities were compared and ranked based on 21 measurements within two categories: pro football and college football.
