Study says New Haven and Bridgeport are 2 of the least fun cities in USA

According to WalletHub, New Haven and Bridgeport, out of 182 cities in America, rank in the very bottom of cities in America where you can have fun. New Haven comes in at #152 (behind Manchester, New Hampshire! at #151) and Bridgeport at #174. Vegas is #1.

This was their methodology:

In order to determine the most fun cities in the U.S., WalletHub compared 182 cities — including the 150 most populated U.S. cities, plus at least two of the most populated cities in each state — across three key dimensions: 1) Entertainment & Recreation, 2) Nightlife & Parties and 3) Costs.
We evaluated those dimensions using 65 relevant metrics, which are listed below with their corresponding weights. Each metric was graded on a 100-point scale, with a score of 100 representing the greatest number and variety of fun and cost-effective activities. For metrics marked with an asterisk (*), the square root of the population was used to calculate the population size in order to avoid overcompensating for minor differences across cities.
Finally, we determined each city’s weighted average across all metrics to calculate its overall score and used the resulting scores to rank-order our sample. Our sample considers only the city proper in each case and excludes the surrounding metro area.
