LISTMAKER: CHAMPION CITY

"Winning is not a sometime thing; it's an all time thing. You don't win once in a while, you don't do things right once in a while, you do them right all the time. Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing." 
- VINCE LOMBARDI

For this week's big list, I looked at NFL championships, from 1920 to the present, starting with AFPA/NFL championships, followed by Super Bowl championships beginning in 1967. Because franchises move and change names, I have credited championships to the city that the team resided in (with the exception of the ever in flux Oakland/Los Angeles Raiders... close enough), rather than to a specific franchise name. The top eleven cities are listed below. In cases where a city had the same number of championships, the year of their most recent championship decided the tie-breaker.

LISTMAKER: LARGEST VENUES


Perhaps one of the most important things to consider when choosing an NFL team is ticket availability. If I'm going to be travelling out of state to go see my team, I would want to make sure there were seats available for my, my family, and crew! That's why I'm making a list of the top ten NFL stadiums by capacity for football seating*. Additionally, I took a look at the stadiums with a bird's eye view, courtesy of Google Maps.

*some stadiums have differing seating for concert venues, or multi-sport arrangements. For the purposes of this list, only seating for football games is considered
