Super Bowl Sunday is almost here! Football fans across the country will be tuning in to see the New England Patriots take on the Philadelphia Eagles at the US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

While Minneapolis may be hosting the big game, it doesn't make the top 10 of the best cities for football fans, according to a new ranking.

WalletHub ranked the best and worst cities for football fans in the US. They compared 241 cities across 21 metrics, including the number of NFL and college football teams, average football game ticket prices and attendance, stadium capacity, and fan engagement (the number of Facebook and Twitter followers each team has), and gave each a total score out of 100.

They also created a "Pro Football" ranking out of 32 (the number of teams in the NFL), which was determined based on similar factors such as ticket prices, attendance, and stadium capacity, but also factored in metrics such as the number of NFL championship wins, head coaches in the Hall of Fame, and franchise value.

Here are the 30 best cities to show your team spirit.
