	I think you missed one: Baltimore (Ravens, Orioles, No NBA, No NHL)

	toobuff1000:	Oct 30th, 2009 at 02:48 GMT	6 points
	yea, you def. missed baltimore. and anaheim should probably be an answer, or a bonus (angels and ducks).

	FliryVorru:	Oct 30th, 2009 at 02:51 GMT	1 point
	Also missing San Francisco, Oakland, Miami, Dallas, and Philadelphia.

	bdon:	Oct 30th, 2009 at 02:51 GMT	1 point
	For this quiz, its probably worth it to split up washington/baltimore and the SF Bay area. This adds in San Francisco (49ers, giants), Oakland (Raiders, Warriors, A's), and Baltimore (Ravens, O's) Good quiz though

	zzz:	Oct 30th, 2009 at 02:51 GMT	1 point
	Oakland (NFL, MLB, NBA (Golden State) is missing, as is San Francisco (MLB, NFL); neither has an NHL team (the Sharks are in San Jose, which is a separate city in plenty of other Sporcle quizzes). As a couple of other have pointed out, Baltimore is missing as well. toobuff, I'm guessing that the author considers the Angels to be in LA now that the team has changed its name, but otherwise, you're right.

	Fliry, Dallas and Philadelphia have all four major sports. If we're going to worry about stadiums that are in suburbs, this quiz will be wrecked (my hometown's NHL team is in Buffalo, but the NFL team is in Orchard Park), and there will be a lot more cities that don't have "all four," including New York. Not sure if Sunrise, FL counts as a suburb of Miami or not.

	FliryVorru:	Oct 30th, 2009 at 03:11 GMT	3 points
	@zzz Yeah, good point on Dallas and Philly. Hadn't thought about the fact that the quiz is for 2/3 sport cities and not "multi-sport" cities. Thanks for the correction.

	Besides the one or two missing ones, very cool quiz. I like how you broke up by which leagues each city had a team for.

	canuckluck28:	Oct 30th, 2009 at 05:04 GMT	1 point
	The way the quiz is worded "U.S. Cities with 2 or 3 teams from the big 4 sports", Los Angeles doesn't qualify because it has at least four teams within the city limits (lakers, clippers, dodgers, kings). I guess the quiz should say Cities with teams in two or three of the big 4 leagues or something of that nature.

	About the Baltimore/San Francisco/Oakland thing, the source went by metro area (which is what I prefer to use when measuring population). I suppose I could add them in, though. I was trying to avoid winding up with cases like Buffalo, where the stadium/arena is in a suburb. I'll add those three, though. @FliryVorru: Miami, Dallas, and Philadelphia all have all four teams. @canuckluck28: Yeah, the wording is awkward. I'll try to fix that.

Comment below threshold: show it

	No, Jmonkey, no one forgot Chicago.

	mflournoy:	Nov 14th, 2009 at 00:28 GMT	1 point
	Tampa should be the displayed answer, with Tampa Bay and St. Petersburg as alternates, not the other way around. There is no city called Tampa Bay.

	piano_guitar:	Nov 14th, 2009 at 20:20 GMT	1 point
	mflournoy: all three teams are listed as "Tampa Bay", referring partly to the metropolitan area (which I was trying to use; hence the earlier absence of Baltimore, San Francisco, and Oakland). I'll fix the alternate answer thing, though.

	jfeigen06:	Jan 2nd, 2011 at 10:09 GMT	1 point
	Only one missed was LA. Oops..

	Rob42:	Mar 5th, 2012 at 22:31 GMT	1 point
	Excellent and fun quiz. Personally I just LOVE quizzes which are related to big four sports teams, especially geography-related ones. I just can't get enough of them. However, just one small technical point, Toronto is not a u.s. city, though I understand the need for it's inclusion in such a quiz. Maybe you could put an asterisk in the header denoting that one of the cities is Canadian. On another note, I somehow missed Pittsburgh yet again. When working from east to west I usually do the east coast cities first, then skip to Ohio, forgetting all about a certain major city which is in western Pennsylvania.

	Rob42: Toronto is technically a bonus answer, so it shouldn't count against the score.

	ekrakauer10:	Mar 17th, 2012 at 19:48 GMT	3 points
	New Jersey/Newark? They have NBA & NHL, and you can even stretch to say Giants and Jets play there, but definitely no MLB team

	Ryanmg2:	Mar 18th, 2012 at 02:07 GMT	1 point
	Anaheim: Ducks and Angels

	piano_guitar:	Mar 18th, 2012 at 07:59 GMT	1 point
	ekrakauer10: As per my source, Newark is included in the New York metropolitan area, so I didn't split it off. Also, since the Nets will be moving into Brooklyn next season, leaving them with just an NHL team, I feel less compelled to count it as a separate metropolitan area. I can definitely see the gray area, though. Ryanmg2: Again, see the source. Also, since their official name now starts with Los Angeles, I feel see it as more reason not to count it as a separate city.

	piano_guitar:	Mar 18th, 2012 at 08:08 GMT	1 point
	Also, with regards to Newark, I tried to make it a bonus answer, but because its team combination is unique, it does not work. To clarify on my last statement, the reason I split up the Bay Area and Baltimore-Washington areas that were given in the sources and did not separate Newark is that there are teams with New York in their name playing in Newark, which made it too close to a suburb, while the other two areas are more clearly defined.
