It's easy, and only takes a few moments.I guess I just learned it's opening day in baseball by a post on a patriots forum.. yea, baseball is king. If this year is the same as last year, i'll catch about 3 innings on a tv somewhere in the next 6 months.I watched more of TB12 running around in an Easter bunny outfit yesterday than I did of the Sawx playing their opening day game.
Based on what? Your guess? Because ratings and stats sure as hell won't agree with you
Chi has 2 baseball teams and 1 football team...Bears again draws a larger crowd as they are pulling from both baseball team areas.
And I literally wouldn't watch a hockey game if it were played in my backyard because the sport puts me to sleep. That doesn't mean it isn't and shouldn't be wildly popular with millions of others.I guess I just learned it's opening day in baseball by a post on a patriots forum.. yea, baseball is king.

One welcome benefit of that would be your absence from this forum.Lets see how loyal the fanbase is when the Pats are not as good?
In a crumbling relic that holds a relative handful of people.Based on the Red Sox holding a MLB record for consecutive sell outs.
It's been mentioned numerous times re., Fenway's inadequacies.Based on the Patriots almost moving out of state twice. Off to St Louis is the first time and Hartford the next. Nobody would have the guts to mention moving the Red Sox out of Boston.
No, and thank goodness for that!Does Foxboro look and feel like Boston to you?
The fact that a thriving business center and virtual community has sprung up around a football stadium is remarkable. If you prefer bad traffic, crowds and high prices, go to Boston.During the week it looks like a Ghost town the times that I have been there.
Or it's just a really large city. The Bears rule Chicago. Anyone from that area will tell you football is No. 1.A city that can support 2 MLB teams is a baseball town.
1967 to today is almost 50 years of dedication. The RS have 3 WS appearance's to show for it.
1994 to today is 21 years. The Pats have been to the SB 7 times.
Boston is a Red Sox town
Were you born yesterday? The Bears OWN Chicago, always have. Boston used to be a baseball town but the Patriots specifically and NFL in general eclipsed that years ago. The only city where baseball trumps football is St. Louis. Everywhere else the NFL rules by wide margins.
Here's a take from our favorite Sports Commentator.... Felger!!!

Yes, things have improved. Boston is a different place today.
Yo, coke bottle glasses. I stated the Bears are big, but Chicago is a 2 baseball team town. Don't tell me its not a baseball town. Cubs fans haven't won jack in ages. Disagree about Boston. Boston is a Red Sox town and the Pats are regionally bigger.
Disagree on STL being the only big MLB draw. Atlanta is definitely is NOT a football town. Ive lived there and went to training camp one year. What a joke. Easily bought tickets to the Pats vs Falcons the day of the game.
You think NY fans would want a yankee ring more then a jets ring right now? San Fran is big into baseball..but they wouldn't want a 49ers ring right now over Giants? Detroit? Lions have NEVER made a SB...don't think they want it more? I can guarentee if you looked at ratings...all those football teams will be drawing in bigger crowds then baseball teams.
Everyone wants to talk about revenue. Pink hats contribute to that. We are talking die hards. All of my buddies..every single one of them watches every single pats game...those same guys..maybe 1/2 watch the sox and don't even watch every game..maybe 1 game a week ect. It's like that all over. This is nothing new
Moving out of Cleveland should do you wonders.This inferiority complex is really annoying.
