An In-Depth Look at the Top Cities for 2023
Los Angeles
The City of Angels tops the list of the best sports cities this year because of its rich sports culture, numerous professional teams, and iconic stadiums and arenas. Some venues of note include Staples Center, Dodger Stadium, SoFi Stadium, BMO Stadium, and the Rose Bowl. They host professional teams across various sports, including two each in the NBA, MLB, MLS, and NFL.
For soccer fans, Los Angeles has some of the lowest season ticket prices in the country. On top of that, the city is home to several prominent colleges and universities, including UCLA and USC, providing even more opportunities for sports fans to enjoy the games they are most passionate about.
Green Bay, WI
Green Bay, Wisconsin, is the best midsize city for sports fans, with its deep-rooted and passionate sports culture, highlighted by the Green Bay Packers. The city is known for its enthusiastic fans and a passion for local football at all levels.
The Green Bay Packers are one of the most storied and successful franchises in the league's history, with the third-highest win percentage, 19 division championships and four Super Bowl titles. Nevertheless, attending a Packers game at the iconic Lambeau Field can be less expensive than games in some larger cities since the team’s nonprofit ownership structure helps keep ticket prices reasonable.
Clemson, SC
Clemson, South Carolina, is the best small city for sports fans, particularly for college sports enthusiasts. Clemson University strongly focuses on its athletic programs, including its highly successful football team, which has won 15 ACC conference championships since 1978 and three national titles. Their soccer and golf teams have also been highly successful.
A Clemson Tigers football game at Memorial Stadium, also known as “Death Valley,” is a unique and exhilarating experience, with many cherished game-day rituals, such as the “Tiger Walk” and the Howard’s Rock tradition. Die-hard Tigers fans pay more than most other college football fans for season tickets, though, with the lowest season ticket costing about $380 this year.

FWIW, they did put Columbia up there at 42 on the list of mid-sized cities and North Charleston at 59.
That said, I would rather not willingly go to either place.

Absolutely agree that Orangeburg is far superior to Columbia.
Such a true and profound statement! Orangeburg sucks, but the entirety of Richland County is a dumpster fire. Easy win for the 'Burg
