Just ahead of Super Bowl LII, where the Philadelphia Eagles will face the New England Patriots, WalletHub has published 2018’s Best & Worst Cities for Football Fans, a list that places Philadelphia only eighth among the best cities.

WalletHub used 21 key metrics to compare more than 240 cities that have at least one college or professional football team. The metrics were divided into two main categories: Pro Football, which carried a maximum of 75 points, and Collage Football, which carried a maximum of 25.

Some of the metrics included a number of teams in both categories, along with stadium capacity, attendance, and fan engagement – which, of course, Philadelphia aced!

(Really, WalletHub?)

Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field rated as one of the Least Accessible NFL Stadiums.
