- In honor of Super Bowl LIII on February 3, 2019, Wallethub released a study ranking the top cities in the nation for both pro and college football fans.
- Expected powerhouses like Boston, Green Bay, and Dallas made the top 10, but there are a few surprises as well.
- The study took 21 factors into account, including number of teams, fan friendliness, and average ticket price.
Super Bowl LIII, or Super Bowl 53, will be held on February 3, 2019 in Atlanta, Georgia. The New England Patriots will go up against the Los Angeles Rams — their first since leaving St. Louis, Missouri.
To celebrate, Wallethub compared more than 240 cities across the US to determine what the best cities for football fans are, whether they love the NFL or college ball.
With a system based on 21 key factors — from ticket prices to stadium accessibility, attendance, and fan engagement — Wallethub ranked the 10 best cities to be in if you're a super-fan.
10. Seattle, Washington
Seattle Seahawks fans have a lot to celebrate. They've appeared in three Super Bowls in the last 14 years, winning one in 2014 against the Denver Broncos.
9. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Philadelphia Eagles fans are still riding high off their first Super Bowl win in 2018. Much can be said about Eagles fans, but they certainly know how to celebrate.
8. Oakland, California
Oakland won't be a football city for long. The Raiders are currently set to move to Las Vegas, Nevada, for the 2020 season.
