Zack_of_Steel+ 3,014 Posted January 26, 2013 Nobody in Nebraska likes the Chiefs. Everyone here bandwagons and/or hates the NFL. Out west people like the Broncos and everywhere else it's "Packers fans" for the most part and then a whole mess of bandwagoners. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PackIsBack 124 Posted January 27, 2013 I live in a different part of WI now near the Minnesota border and there seems to be a lot more interest hockey on this part of the state than on the other side of the state near Milwaukee where I'm from. The Wild games are even recapped on the news around here. However near Milwaukee, hockey isn't even talked about. It depends on what part of WI you're from.

Piggly Wiggly 960 Posted January 27, 2013 Giants fans dominate North Jersey. Probably most of NYC, too. The masses of Jets fans are all on Long Island. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WindyCitySports 407 Posted January 27, 2013 Just because a sport is not popular in an area does not mean that fans of that sport are nonexistent, nor does it mean that that area is not in one team's territory. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ATL_Predator+ 1,196 Posted January 27, 2013 2 issues. The entire state of VA has been taken over by RG3, and Falcons nation takes up a majority of south carolina. Lots of family that live in Charleston and they say Panthers fans and Falcons fans are about equal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted January 27, 2013 Iowa is NOT that Bears dominated. There are quite a few Bear fans, but it is a mish-mash of the NFC N teams for the most part. TONS of Packer fans, lots of Viking and Packer fans. Some Lions, some Chiefs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Virginia has been Skins territory since long before RG3, I don't know of any Panthers fans in VA that aren't from NC 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JetsFan4Life 542 Posted January 27, 2013 Virginia has been Skins territory since long before RG3, I don't know of any Panthers fans in VA that aren't from NC Yeah my cousins live in Virginia and whenever we'd drive through and stuff I've never seen Panthers stuff but I've always seen Redskins stuff, Go Redskins on receipts, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Omerta+ 1,206 Posted January 27, 2013 Jags and Baltimore battling it out for the least amount of fans lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WindyCitySports 407 Posted January 27, 2013 Thanks for all of the input. As far as Virginia goes, I thought that the D.C. suburbs would be Skins but south of that would be Carolina. I know that Iowa is a bit of a melting pot, but I know that they have a pretty close relationship with Chicago. For example, Cubs fans dominate, an Iowa newspaper coined Iowa as "Chicago's Far-Western Suburb," and Iowa has carried Obama to three election victories (primary '08, general '08, general '12), which some theorized was because he is from Chicago. To Ngata, although Jags and Ravens territory is very small, the area that the Ravens own is much more populated than the NE sliver of Florida. So, don't feel too bad.

Maverick 791 Posted January 27, 2013 I lived in North Jersey for the first 12 years of my life and still visit occasionally. I'm obviously saying this based on my personal experiences, but for New York sports it seems you're either New Yorker A or New Yorker B: A- Giants, Yankees, and Rangers B- Jets, Mets, and Islanders/Devils Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thanatos 2,847 Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) When I drove through SC on the way to Bama to visit family, we stopped at a restaurant and at at a friends place of business to say hi. In both cases, I saw several Panthers jerseys and not a single Falcons jersey. Edited January 27, 2013 by Thanatos19 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oochymp 2,393 Posted January 28, 2013 As far as Virginia goes, I thought that the D.C. suburbs would be Skins but south of that would be Carolina. yeah, having no professional sports teams in the state Virginians pretty much claim all of the DC sports teams (except baseball, but it's trending that way) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
