    red sox have only been back for about 15 years. they sucked from like forever until now. ESPN actually has a lot to do with their resurgence. Not that ESPN are homers, it's a New England company.

    don't get me wrong. the sox have always had their fans. they just sucked and aren't much of shit compared to the Yankees, Celtics, Red Wings, Lakers, Packers, Cowboys.

    I think the scale for evaluating this would be to say, What sport would never be the same if the team didn't exist or they got rid of them. When you say prestige you need to evaluate not only revenues and titles, but also fan base, and importance to the sports world.

    Most valuable - Cowboys.

    by prestige i meant history, fanbase, popularity. this was the reason why i didn't add the steelers to my list as dallas is by far more popular than the steelers.

    Current #1 value in NFL today is Cowboys. The Redskins were the first NFL franchise to break the 1B club in 2004, at least Dan Snyder can do one fucking thing right <sigh>.

    I would guess some European Soccer teams are in the 1B+ club as well, although I seriously do not follow the sport and could not name even one of them.

    sorry, not gonna go do research that is readily available info for you.... three people have said it in the thread and it was obv reported after the stadium was built.

    Yanks were close and their pricing debacle hurt them, I believe.
