Pro sports rooting interest

If you had to move to a city and root for all of their pro teams (remembering that you also have to be willing to LIVE there), where would you go? I am thinking this Pumpkintown SC resident would end up in Denver. Maybe DC second, Boston third.
For the purposes of this thread, if your city/region (eg Carolina, New England) didn’t have a franchise in one of the pro leagues, you couldn’t have a specific rooting interest in that sport.

I lived in Denver for almost 9 years(2012-2020) One of my favorite places to have lived. I enjoyed the pro sports there, Mile High Stadium was easy to get in and out , had good NFL teams come visit, great Atmosphere with Colfax Ave like a highway it's self dividing the city , along with my favorite area of Broadway Blvd. Then go downtown within a few miles away and near Larimer Ave is Coors Field to watch the Rockies, which is in the middle of the red(fun) light district so to speak.. Great restaurants and bars, night clubs, be careful after midnight... Snow and sunshine makes for a beautiful place to live..
I will always consider Denver my favorite place..
Just so you know , I currently reside in Atlanta, Georgia, but I have also lived in Kansaa City, Missouri, St. Louis, Missouri , Orlando, Florida , Birmingham, Alabama, Sacramento, California...

But you have certainly had a taste of many sports cities. I have spent my entire 57ish years in this sports desert I love called South Carolina. Many dirt roads in Orangeburg, St. Matthews, Ridgeville, and Pumpkintown.

Yeah I was born in SC, but raised in SW Georgia, Albany Georgia, and it was a joke back in the day about riding dirtroads , the classic keg parties and pretty girl friends...

So you have heard about DIA !? Lol
It's definitely worth the look, if you're ever going through or stopping in Denver.

Every year I just pick the best team in each sport, buy a bunch of their gear, and tell everyone I’ve been a fan my whole life.
I think that’s the right way to do pro sports.

he's a pulls for Duke in basketball and Bama, Georgia, or Clemson in football. You can only find that level of obvious front running idiocy in college sports-

For all teams and all have to be in one city? That's tough due to needing all teams. If it were just to pull for one team in one city where it seems like it would be fun, I guess I would go with the Bills, a place where they are passionate. LA is a good spot because they have quality sports teams that will always be in the mix with free agents and spending cash, but that real feel like the Bills, the Packers, sounds cool.

Hope you are ready to invest in a big snow blower. We lived in Erie PA for about 11 years and I don’t need to ever see snow again.

I put that in the equation. I would have to start drinking again and to become a full blown alcoholic watching the NFL with my fellow drunks.

No doubt. I attended several Miami/Buffalo games in both stadiums. Wearing an opposing team jersey in Buffalo is the definition of living dangerously. And there were always more fights in the stadium in Miami when the Bills were in town. But I have to hand it to their fans, along with Cleveland Browns fans, they are some of the most dedicated fans I have ever seen.

I would probably go with Jacksonville or Kansas City because I am more concerned about where I live than any of the pro sports teams.
I was a Miami Dolphins fan for my entire life until I pretty much gave up on pro sports a few years ago. I lived in Miami from 1989-1993 and again from 1998-2003 and you couldn’t pay me enough money to move there again.

I lived in the KC area for a few years , and it gets brutally cold in tht area. I lived in Denver for 9 years, and the cold temperatures were tougher in KC than in Denver! Alot more snow in Denver, but more sub zero temperatures in KC....
