Yep, for many reasons including venue location, but not because people in the south hate hockey or wouldn’t enjoy it.

only because ATL is a transplant city & most support other City’s teams

And this is how I learned that NY Ranger fans are the worst fans in the country. By far.

Never said I hate hockey. I was simply implying that I hate MZ being a SEC state.

13 years later. Time to move along & accept it. Missouri ain’t going anywhere. Sh-t, MO borders as many SEC states as GA. I could see b-itching if we were Oregon or Rutgers, but come on, it’s not like MO is that far off the footprint. And the “culture “ thing is bogus. GA & FL are full of “Yankees”. That culture is fading fast. It’s 2025 bruh….

Clearly you’ve never been to Missouri. But ok…. And as mentioned, large swaths of the south of filled with NY & CA transplants. Way more than MO. So… no … wrong again

We don't have much...

Although it isn't even a blip on the radar screen nationally...

The OKC marathon is a huge deal locally.

Probably third on the list.

ATL is a huge Yankee outpost, makes up a huge chunk of GA’s population. Look at how they vote. Nuff said!

8 Sundays in the fall at Arrowhead, not withstanding MNF/SNF & playoffs, but with Mahomes and multiple SB’s that’s a tough ticket to get.

I live on the outskirts of COMO, so with friends & family on both sides of the state it’s incredibly convenient, < 2hrs & you’re at someone’s house. Works great for MLB with inter league play you can watch the stars/teams live besides traditional rivals & Royals/Cards I-70 series.

STL. Cardinals still have multiple businessmen specials a month, a hidden gem & great way to spend the day with the boys.

STL. is hosting the Frozen Four this weekend and it’s sold out, STL. is hockey town USA, they’ve outpaced the Cardinals.

K.C.& Arrowhead Is one of the host cities for the World Cup next summer. 6 matches and the Quarterfinals.

K.C. is hosting the Rugby World Cup in 2031.
