We’re currently well into the NFL season, and as excitement over who will be crowned NFL champions reaches fever pitch, we thought it would be a good idea to see which American city is the best place to live as a football fan.
We’ve considered stats such as the number of championship victories, and the price of a delicious hotdog and a cold beer in NFL stadiums. We’ve also considered figures like city population to determine which city is the best place to be as an NFL fan. Without further ado, let’s take a look at the results so you can see where the best football fans thrive.

Los Angeles is the second most populous city in the United States at 4,085,014 people and while this makes for a vibrant, bustling city it also has its downsides too, namely pollution and overcrowded venues. Meanwhile, the TIAA Bank Field (the home of the Jacksonville Jaguars) charges an eye-watering $11.50 for beer, which doesn’t make it the most budget-friendly stadium to watch a game in.
