Hmmm,the Jets won 3 Stanley Cups in the 70's and the Nords 1-lol
While its nice to be at #4,im not putting much into that list,when Hamilton is ahead of Regina (not Sask)and they both only have a CFL team,no mention of the Bulldogs,I'd say that list is screwed up.
Regarding the CFL,they keep saying most teams have only won 5 Grey Cups in the last 50 years like its a bad thing.Considering for most of that time they had nine teams,its actually pretty good.

Actually it was 3 avco cups and they made it to the finals five times and that leage only lasted 10 years so we were kinda the the top dogs there

"but team eventually moved to Phoenix (now the Phoenix Coyotes) due to lack of attendance and poor finances. "
I wish that line was first. I could have stopped there and saved valuable seconds that I will now never get back.

I could have stopped there and saved valuable seconds that I will now never get back. It should read "but the Phoenix Coyotes team will eventually move to Quebec due to lack of attendance and poor finances."

"The Toronto Raptors have only made the playoffs twice". Jesus christ, fact check much? Truly pathetic article.

that website seems to have no crediblity. Pretty sure you couldnt win a stanley cup in the WHA... unless you stole it i guess.
And Toronto sucks.

Toronto should be number one because no matter how terrible the team is they sell out. When was the last time any sports team inTO was an even mild contender for a championship?

Argos draw flies Jays draw flies Raptors draw slightly more flies NFL game in TO draws flies Toronto FC .... again .... same WOW WHAT A SPORTS TOWN! Argos -- Toronto, for w.e. reason, just does not buy into the CFL thing.. as they see themselves as a "big league", "we want NFL" type of town. Jays -- I'll give you that one. But honestly, if you lived in Toronto... wouldn't you also wait until the Red Sox and Yankees come to town? (as they often reach 40,000 ppl when they come)... instead of going to see them play against the Baltimore Orioles (or other teams of that nature)? And, if one looks back at the early 90s, the fanbase is there. They just need to win (or make the playoffs for once!!!) for them to come back. They even have the record for most attended seasons in 92-93 I beleive. Raptors -- Until recently, the Raps had good crowds. The team has finished near the bottom 10 in the league for the past few years. Toronto FC -- they sell out every game, so I really don't know what you're talking about. Leafs -- I know you didn't mention this team..... but I don't think there's another fanbase that has been that loyal in sports, generally speaking. It's amazing how they sell out at the price they charge, given the team's performance these days. All-in-all, you can't put any of this on the fanbase, but more on the production of their respective sports team. None of them have really been winners in the last few years. Not even a playoff appearance!

Toronto is a leafs city not a sports city Montreal is a Habs city and not a sports city Winnipeg sold out the Moose almost every night an amateur team, The goldeyes have one of the highest attendance levels in the league and the play in a AA independent league and the Jets sold 5 years of season tickets in 17 minutes....the writer of this article must be from Montreal
he needs to get his head out of his Go Jets Go
in ranking a sports city you rank based on the teams there, pro or amateur/ the number of buts in the seats compared to other teams in the leagues and how many times they have made the play offs, the Bombers have sucked the last 3 years and they are still packed, does that not count for something....the Goldeyes almost out draw the Blue Jays on a percentage level based on the number of people in the area
Toronto has about 5 times as many people in the metro area and draws 18 000 for MLB we draw 6 000 for the gold eyes...
