This is the US of A (aka soccer is not a major sport)

Outside the scope of the quiz, but Providence (NBA), Rochester (NBA), and Hartford (NHL) used to have sports teams. But I'm sure that quiz idea has been done before.

These are very unusual numbers - what is your source?

I disagree that Providence does not have a team. The New England Patriots' Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts is only 20 miles from downtown Providence and less than 8 miles from the Rhode Island border.

Different state + the Pats aren't specifically a Providence/RI team. Under this logic, the Giants/Jets are Newark teams and the Cardinals is a Glendale team
