(college sports play second fiddle to pro sports in chicago)
if we only had one MLB team, it'd certainly be higher on the list, but the cubs and sox cleave the city in two on that front.
neither one can unite the entire city and metro area behind them like the first 3 can.

Interesting. I would have guessed that the Cubs and White Sox would both rank higher than the Blackhawks, even with the division.
This is a good city thread topic... though likely has been done at least once before?
Anyway, for Pittsburgh, I'd go with:
- Steelers
- Penguins
- Pirates
- Pitt football
- Penn State football
- Pitt basketball
Penguins and Pirates at #2 and #3 could arguably be switched around, but since the Pirates have been bad for so long and the Penguins good, I think hockey has gained a stronger foothold at the distant second position to the Steelers. Pittsburgh is so Steelers dominated that it's really annoying.
