LAS VEGAS, NV (KXNT) – The Raiders just became the Las Vegas Raiders.

The 2020 NFL Draft will be held in Las Vegas.

Hundreds of thousands are coming to town for the Big Game.

Allegiant Stadium promises to be the best football stadium in America.

Yet, a new survey from the financial website WalletHub scores Las Vegas low on its new survey of the Best Cities For Football fans.

If you can believe it, Las Vegas finishes 207th.

Not a typo. 207th.

WalletHub compared more than 240 U.S. cities with at least one college or professional football team across 21 key metrics. The data set ranges from number of NFL and college football teams to average ticket price for an NFL game to fan friendliness.

Vegas does ok in the “Pro Football” rank category, coming in 31st. That’s the highest ranking for any city that did not have an NFL team in 2019.

The “College Football” rank, though, is way down there at 196th

The top rankings in the survey are all occupied by well-established NFL cities. Pittsburgh, Boston, Dallas, Green Bay and New York occupy the top five spots.
