I grew up just outside of KC, KS and even though they aren't always the greatest...go Chiefs! Now living in NY I'm also a big Giants fan. I also root for a few other teams for random reasons.

You're not allowed to live in Wisconsin and not love the Green Bay Packers.  I swear, world war 3 could break out and the breaking news would be about the Packers winning a game vs the war starting. 

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy football, but you would NEVER catch me wearing a foam cheese head or sitting outside in 5 degree weather to watch it.

GO PACKERS!!!

 It is pretty much illegal to live in WI and not love the Packers.  If a game is on, streets are empty, the grocery store is abandoned.

I never really know what to call Pittsburgh, so I voted northeast... My DH would strangle me if I said Midwest! (I grew up in Ohio, but didn't like football until I moved here nine years ago!)

I think it's a city to city (or state to state) thing.  Seattle is a football town so it's what I grew up with.  Pro basketball has been there the longest (and is still the city's single championship).  And oops, I should say *was* there the longest since it's gone now.   Pro football and baseball started at the same time but baseball was bad bad bad for a long time.  Pro football was big all along.  And college football is huge too. 

Meanwhile, in Oregon or especially in California it could be very different.  Portland has NBA and that's it, and until recently college football was big but not that good in Oregon!  California is very diverse.

Here in NC, it's all about college basketball.  Football is seasonal but it doesn't rule.  Baseball means next to nothing here.  But cross over into Tennessee, and it's all football.

The main sport that I think it more regional is hockey since it's most popular in the north (central and east) and in Canada.  I've been to a handful of pro games here in NC and I just don't get it, LOL.  It's very popular in NC now but it helps that there are tons of people from the northeast in the area where the team is based!

FWIW, I prefer basketball as a sport now, but football is more in my blood.  DH (from NY) watches basketball more, but baseball is more in his blood.  He follows baseball big time though...it helps when you're a Yankees fan since they're on TV all the time.  All the time.

So I am FROM the southeast and have a couple teams I cheer for from the south, but I live in the Northeast and am cheering GO PATS

I root for the Bears because DH is from Chicago.  Nico has his own little Urlacher jersey!

Dh cannot WAIT to live in WI! We are from MN (But his family is from green bay) so we have always been packer fans in vikings territory. Now we live in Bears territory, he can't wait to go "home" . lol
