Weird Football Trivia Question.
Edited on Tue Nov-08-05 06:04 PM by XNASA
What are the 5 most populous US cities that currently host NFL games and have done so for at least the last 10 years consecutively?

Sorry, I'm just trying to kill some time.

2. Houston is incorrect.
They didn't have a team for a couple of years not long ago.

4. OK, I'll try
I'll guess Chicago, Philly, San Diego, Dallas and Detroit. That's probably wrong but I'm stuck on #5. I'm not confident in Detroit but nothing else seems right. I'm not even sure Detroit qualifies because of the stadium issue with where they used to play. I know San Diego has higher population than many people think. Well worded question because Houston is excluded via the 10 year rule and New York isn't where the Jets/Giants techically play.

6. Chicago, Philly and San Diego are correct.
Dallas plays in Irving, and Detroit plays in Pontiac...

8. Detroit doesn't play in Pontiac anymore
The opened Ford Field a few years ago, downtown. That I'm sure of because I visited and took pictures. But you're right, my guess of Detroit is wrong because they did play in Pontiac for decades. That was careless of me to forget Dallas played in Irving.

13. Last guess before I give up
Chicago
Philadelphia
Jacksonville, FL. (Silly guess, but as the largest city in the US in area it has to be higher than people think.)
San Diego
Indianapolis

16. I'll substitute San Francisco for Jacksonville
I noticed XNASA never rejected San Francisco from your earlier guess, nor Indianapolis from your second guess. So this might be the right combo: Chicago, Philly, San Diego, Indianapolis and San Francisco.
