Football fans! Clarksville ranks #155 on this list!

You know you live for Saturdays and Sundays in the fall!

And for Clarksville, we ranked #155 for best cities to be a football fan! I mean, we have Ausin Peay football, Murray State football, Western Ky. football and many high school teams to follow!

But in the south and Clarksville is in the south!  For many people football is far more than just a game: it’s a sacred tradition. These fans aren’t just spectators but are also participants. They do more than just proudly wear a team’s jersey, perfect game-day chili or tailgate with fellow fans. They show their passion by roaring in approval when their team scores a touchdown or crying out in disappointment when they fumble their way to failure. Football is by far Americans’ favorite sport to watch, with more popularity than basketball, baseball and soccer combined. In fact, 62% of Americans consider themselves either a fan or “somewhat” of a fan of professional football, and 54% say the same for college football.
