The World Series begins tonight, the NBA season just tipped off and football is in full swing. The smorgasbord of sports and the passion it incites among fans led us to wonder: What is America’s best sports city?

We asked our writers to make their case.

Opinion | What is America’s best sports city? Nine compete for the crown.

Grit, glamour and green energy define some of the nation’s top sports towns.
