Best Cities to Watch Football

Whether it is a Friday, Saturday, Sunday or Monday Night, these are the best places in the nation to watch football:

1.	Atlanta: It's not only because it's my hometown. The ATL has the doggone Falcons, a resurgent Georgia Tech and more high school football than Buzz Bissinger would know what to do with. Plus, within driving distance, the following worthwhile teams ply their trades: the Carolina Panthers, the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Universities of Georgia, Alabama, Auburn, Tennessee, Clemson, South Carolina and Wake Forest. You can also drive up to Duke, although I'm not sure why anyone would want to see its football team play.
2.	Columbus: The biggest and best college football stadium in the world - the Shoe - along with the crazist die-hard college football fans give reason to the need for a "the" at the beginning of the The Ohio State University. Match that with the passion, gusto and loyalty for the Cleveland Browns and the uprising of Cincinnati Bengals fans in the State's capital - a 90-minute drive from Cinci and 120-minute drive from Cle.
3.	Dallas: Texas is the state that spawned Friday Night Lights and the nationally ranked TCU Horned Frogs play in Fort Worth, but the Cowboys remain religion in the Lone Star State. With Dallas as your hub, Austin and the Longhorns are just a few hours down the interstate, Lubbock and Texas Tech are a few hundred miles west and Houston and the Texans are to the southeast, with Texas A&M along the way.
4.	New York: While high school football in the tristate area is still not an obsession like it is in many other parts of the country, the area does boast two NFL teams and a Rutgers team in the Top 25. Also, Penn State is about four hours to the west, but I do not recommend that drive to anyone except the adventurous.
5.	Chicago: The Bears are here, and the Colts are just a few hours down I-65. Notre Dame and Michigan are each within driving distance, if you enjoy watching struggling college programs. If you prefer to stay closer to Chicago ... hey, Stewart Mandel, remember when Northwestern used to be good?
6.	Las Vegas: I know, the only real team located here is UNLV (at least since the Las Vegas Outlaws closed up shop). But at any sports book in Vegas on any given Sunday (or Saturday), every TV in the joint is tuned to football. Plus, if you know what you're doing, you might be able to make a little scratch while you watch the games. Allegedly, of course.
