i don't know the distance, but i lived in a small town in south georgia for a few years during my childhood. closest team would have been in atlanta since we moved before jacksonville got a football team.

 

[vi edit]

Right now I am easily 4.5-5.0 hours from any major sports team.

I live in the middle of Pennsylvania, so it's about 2 hours to Pittsburgh, and farther to Philly.

Okinawa. It's a 16 hour flight from LA to Kadena AFB or roughly about 10,000 miles.

Never more than about 10 miles--livin' in the burbs. I'm back in the city now. I'm happier here. I hate time lost to commuting. Makes me late for stuff. Work is 4-8 minutes depending on traffic, and school is about 4 minutes by car (or I bike--that's faster than driving, or I walk--that's 10 minutes). I've now got 3 pro sports teams who play less than a 0.5 to 1.5 miles from where I sit. (A cheap cab ride to be sure!)

The furthest away I lived was about 3 hours. I used to live in Omaha. The closest sports teams were in Kansas City. I live about 2 hours from Charlotte now.

Lets see. Helena, MT. Closest would be in seattle/portland/denver? Too lazy to look up the distances.

 

[McCarthy]

4 hours when i lived in florida before the magic became a team.

Manila...too many miles to count

 

[PlatinumGold]

would have to be someone that lived in alaska or hawaii for a while

Well I'm about 20 miles from Milwaukee. SO if you count the Bucks and Brewers as Pro Teams (not sure I do), then it's about 130 miles or so up to Green Bay.

 

[Excelsior]

30 minutes from the Panther's stadium.

Damn, I was gonna make that joke about my hometown, San Diego. Haha. I have much love for my ever-struggling Padres and Chargers!
