What US city or cities is the football capital?

1. We’ll I guess Dallas, they’ve been known as “Americas team” but who knows.

2. Canton, Ohio. I suppose Green Bay also has a strong argument.

3. This is gonna be an ugly fight but I would like to say Columbus Ohio should be on the list of top college football cities. It’s the home of one of the largest fan bases around.

4. if your criteria is the best city for good football: impossible. between college teams, tailgating environment, history, NFL powerhouses – there are simply too many good ones.

   if your criteria is a city whose whole entire thing is football: Green Bay, Wisconsin

5. Probably SF Bay Area – most of the best QBs (obviously the most important position) have either grown up near there or played there (Montana, Young, Brady, Rodgers, Purdy).

6. What have you done?!?! You asked one of the few questions that will inexorably lead to a Second American Civil War! The only other topic we are more willing to shed blood over is which type of BBQ is the best (TEXAS!).

   As to your question, clearly the answer is Canton, Ohio!

7. You could say Green Bay, Dallas, or Canton and you wouldn’t be wrong.

8. Once you hit the American Southeast, youll have the biggest capacity stadiums and thraining grounds for Football. Athens, Tuscaloosa, Auburn, Baton Rouge, Florida . Not the NFL by the way but College Football. The SEC. I think its hard to finding the capital of Football since practically just one region of the country treats it like a Religion.

9. Doesn’t exist.

   Football is too big a sport, requires too large a recruiting and training area, and has too many places that are hardcore about it.

10. There’s really no capital. The biggest pipeline states for talent are the big 3 of Florida, Texas and California. If I had to narrow it down, I’d simply say “The South” is the capital.

11. Texas probably, but Pennsylvania is pretty football-crazy too.

12. Green Bay and everything South of Augusta
