What sports teams are most popular where you live?

Hello everyone! I am doing a little sociology project, looking at the demography of sports. I want to know which major league teams are the most popular in your *immediate* area where you live. This could mean your town or your neighborhood if you live in a big city. If two teams are even in your area, please describe. There's no right answer, it's just what you perceive to be most popular. I am collecting data on 5 sports. If you don't know any, just leave it blank. Baseball Football (NFL) Football (college) Basketball Hockey Please also to remember to tell me what town you live in! Thanks everyone!

1. Baseball Minnesota Twins Football Minnesota Vikings Football college Minnesota Gophers Basketball Minnesota Timberwolves Hockey Minnesota Wild
2. In Philly basically I would say 1) Phillies 2) Eagles 3) Flyers 4) Sixers Mind you though, the top three teams get alot of attention in Philly and even at 3rd, the Flyers sell-out almost every game and have great TV ratings. So if you could I would say Eagles, Flyers, and Phillies all together then the Sixers well.....they're just....not popular.
3. New York Rangers New York Yankees New York Giants New York Knicks St. Johns
4. Baseball: Giants Football: Niners Hockey: Sharks Football: Stanford or Cal Basketball: Pick a team. Any team. Except for the warriors
5. baseball: Astros nfl football: Cowboys college fb: Texas basketball: Spurs hockey: Bees are our local minor league team. NHL varies depending on where you're from originally, most people who grew up here like the Stars.
6. Football- Bills (unfortunately) Hockey- Sabres then.... way..... down..... ....... Baseball- Yankees.... though nowhere near Buffalo Basketball College football thumbs down... I guess my answer of what I believe the most popular teams are is incorrect
7. In South Florida : Football = Miami Dolphins College football = Miami Hurricanes Basketball = Miami Heat Hockey = The Florida Panthers Baseball = The Florida ( soon to be Miami)Marlins Down here baseball though cheap isn't a huge draw unless they are winning and in the playoffs or world series. Football is still King. The ONLY reason the Heat are listed as ahead of the Panthers at this time is the better record of the past few years has given them the slight ( and eroding) edge in bodies in the building.
8. I'll go with the Leafs since you put this in the hockey section....even though the Leafs ARE the most popular in Toronto anyhow....
9. Twins Vikes Gophs we have a basketball team??? Gophs more then the TWolves then tie Wild/Gophs
10. Vancouver, BC, Canada Baseball - None Football (NFL) - Seattle Seahawks Football (College) - None (we mostly focus on CFL and High School teams) Basketball - Toronto Raptors (only Canadian NBA team left) Hockey - Vancouver Canucks
11. I live in Northern Colorado. I would say the Denver Broncos are the most popular. Then the Colorado Rockies, then the Colorado Avalanche, then Denver Nuggets. Then college is mostly CSU since I live where CSU is located. Most of this is based on how often I see people wearing a team's apparel. I actually see more people wearing Rockies and Avalanche stuff than any other team, but I think anyone who lives in Colorado knows that it is a Broncos first state.
12. I'm from Boston, so obviously mine would entire state would place it like this: Baseball - Red Sox Football - Patriots Basketball - Celtics and in last place Hockey - Bruins Some people might even watch BU or BC hockey over the Boston Bruins.
13. I live in Los Angeles, CA Here are the teams listed (in order of popularity): Lakers - NBA Dodgers - MLB Kings - NHL USC Trojans - College Football - although I like the UCLA Bruins Galaxy - Soccer
14. I live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Baseball - Phillies Football - Steelers Football (College) - Pitt or WVU Basketball - 76ers Hockey - Penguins

16. I'm from Buffalo, and hockey and football are most popular. We have a pro lacross team thats gaining some notoriety. There is no pro basketball team, and a minor league baseball team which I guess the locals enjoy but not to the extent of hockey or football.
17. Baseball - Yankees / Red sox Football - Patriots / Giants / Jets Football (college) - Uconn Basketball - Hockey - Rangers Connecticut
18. Baseball Cubs, and White Sox Football Bears Basketball Bulls Hockey Black hawks College, Norte Dame, Iowa, and Northwestern
19. Football (NFL): Washington Redskins (who are quite embarrassing) Football (college): Virginia Tech Basketball: Washington Wizards Hockey: Washington Capitals (yeah baby!) I live in Northern Virginia.
20. Baseball: Well, Toronto Blue Jays I guess. Football: Saskatchewan Roughriders. Yeah. Basketball: I have a friend who likes the Cavaliers. Hockey: Edmonton Oilers, because of location. But Calgary Flames and Vancouver Canucks are very close.
21. Baseball - Mets (we have their minor league team the Bisons Football (NFL) - BUFFALO BILLS Football (college) - UB Bulls Basketball - Probably Toronto Raptors, theyre the closest team Hockey - BUFFALO SABRES
