CBS DETROIT - The Michigan State Spartans make East Lansing the second-best city in the nation for football fans, according to a study by WalletHub.
Only Green Bay, Wisconsin, where the Green Bay Packers reside, ranked higher.
The study ranked 142 cities based on 11 criteria, including number of NFL or FBS teams there, the performance quality of those teams, ticket prices, the friendliness of fans in that location, stadium accessibility, and sports bars per capita.
East Lansing ranked fourth in the category of most friendly and engaged college football fans, while Ann Arbor - home of the Michigan Wolverines - landed in fifth place.
Overall, however, Ann Arbor ranked 29th. Detroit, where the Lions play, almost cracked the top 50, landing in 53rd.
