NFL fandom map

[bearmick]

(CBS) We’ve seen a few fandom maps of America for various sports over the past few months, and today Twitter has released one on the NFL based off its own data (they’ve often been based off Facebook data). The map is broken down county-by-county, and you can see it above.

It comes as no surprise that the Bears dominate as Illinois’ favorite team, but you can see that their fans are quite concentrated within the state boundaries. A few counties in western Iowa love the Bears, but soon turns over to the Packers, Colts, Rams and Chiefs elsewhere. The Rams also have more fans in southern Illinois than the Bears, as would be expected.

What’s a little more shocking is that the Bears only bring in 33 percent of the favorite team vote right here in Cook County. Most areas around the cities that other teams play in have a higher percentage of support, so perhaps it’s a nod to Chicago being a destination to live or work in for people who grew up in other areas and keep their original fandom.

It’s also interesting to see what out-of-state areas the Bears have a fair percentage of fans in. Somehow, they have heavy support in Franklin County in Florida. There are also more small pockets of Bears fans out West than on the East Coast.

According to that map, where I live in Nebraska is Broncos fans, but I have seen more Chiefs and Bears fans here than Broncos fans.

I live in the Britain, so, null and void.

Maybe there's a regional map showing NFL fandom there? I'm sure Edinburgh and the Lothians are Bears all the way.

There's also no way the Vikings have that many fans.

Outside of Minnesota itself, it's mostly ND and SD, where there are like 8 people.

Probably...Bears and Arsenal. Im going on a London vacation. That's all there is to it.

 

[Woods]

No one likes the Raiders?

I know personally about 12 people who live in London, they are all Bears fans

I think London is a Patriots town. If you go to the north of it, around an area called Islington, you'll find some unwashed people. Those are Arsenal fans.

 

[Warrior Spirit]

Representing in NY. Yeah, that's right I chose the Bears over 2 local teams. My geographical location cannot confine and define me.

hahahaha

 

[FatBabiesHaveNoPride]

I don't believe this.

And all of those green Seahawks fans were as of 2012.

I'd like to see a hockey one.

Red everywhere!

So much so that Nashville, where the Hawks are playing tonight, is doing a 'get the red out' campaign.

Funny.

Probably because the Bears have a better QB.

Than the Jets, sure. He's a lot like Eli if you take winning the big games out of the equation.

Same. I don't see many Broncos fans. Usually Chiefs and NFC North teams.

I met the biggest Bengals fan in Scotland when I was in Sterling. He was also a big Hearts fan.

Nice try, Mick. We all know if you go North of London you'll be in the North Sea.
