I'll include the following for consideration:
- World Series 2025
- Super Bowl 2026
- NBA Finals 2026
- Stanley Cup 2026
- NCAA College Football Playoff Final 2026
Exact locale/suburb/etc will not matter, only major metropolitan area.
For example, the Arizona State Sun Devils play their home games in Tempe, AZ, while the Phoenix Suns play their home games directly in Phoenix. If AZ State won the CFP, and the Suns win the NBA Finals next year, I would accept this as a YES resolution since both are part of the greater Phoenix area.
I don't follow Major League Soccer, but I'm willing to hear arguments for including the MLS Cup here if there is enough demand for it.
Update 2025-12-08 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): As of the creator's comment, the following metro areas remain eligible for YES resolution (based on teams still in contention for their respective championships):
Los Angeles
Miami, FL
Columbus, OH
New Orleans
The creator will continue updating this list as NFL teams lock in postseason berths.
