The goal of our Sport Cities project is to come up with a statistic that will describe the success of a city that has multiple sports teams.  We compared five cities that each had a major league baseball, hockey, football and basketball team.  We chose to compare each team using four major statistics: years played, titles won, players in the national hall of fame, and winning percentage.  JLM

Research

In Math class, we searched various sites to help acquire our information. Many of these websites offered lots of interesting facts and statistics such as the winning percentages, the titles, and various other items. We went on various websites about the NFL, NHL, and MLB to find interesting facts such as the teams that used to be in some of the cities we did research on and the teams that used to be around but no longer exist. We found many of the players that are in the League Hall of Fames as well as their team Hall of Fames. We looked at the team history in every league and found that the divisions in each sport progressively got bigger due to the expansion of each league. Some of the interesting facts for instance are the fact that New York once had a hockey team called the Americans. We also read about how the Stanley Cup was established and why its the most recognized trophy in sports.  BG

And Now?  Possible Project Extensions

The things we could do to extend the project are adding more cities and putting in more statistics for each individual team.  We could go to more websites to get more information.  We could also pick just one sport that a city is doing well at and compare that team to the teams of other cities that are doing well.  BK
