ESPN ranks the Football states.

**Crazyswordsman** · 12-31-2006, 07:51 PM

There were three factors considered: High School, College, and Pro.

I'll only show the top ten.

10. Wisconsin
9. New Jersey
8. Louisiana
7. Michigan
6. Georgia
5. Ohio
4. Pennsylvania (got #1 in pro football)
3. Florida
2. California
1. Texas (got #1 in HS and college football)
-CSM

penn has #1 in NFL? all thy're teams stink!

**Crazyswordsman** · 12-31-2006, 08:00 PM

Well, they have the best NFL fans, especially in Pittsburgh. -CSM

GURU ANT · 12-31-2006, 08:43 PM

^ PIT has great NFL fans, but Philly just mostly has some idiots, they're just very.....expressive.

At least their fans aren't as dumb as the Falcons ones (most of them), I can't believe the thoughts some of these idiots have.

I'm surprised Tennessee is not on that list, at least for HS/College.

**Crazyswordsman** · 12-31-2006, 10:15 PM

Sometimes I wonder how many Philly fans went to Ohio State. -CSM

Bomby · 01-01-2007, 01:01 AM

How is Wisconsin only #10? Do I bring it down that far?

ShyGuy727 · 01-01-2007, 01:03 AM

Actually, the Browns have the best (well, most loyal at least) fans: Cleveland No. 1 in NFL fan loyalty - NFL - MSNBC.com ^^'

Saw that a couple days ago on another sports board. Everyone was pretty much shocked PA was ahead of Ohio, was I. Most similar lists I've seen usually have Pennsylvania and Ohio cemented in 5th and 4th respectively, and then Cali, Florida and Texas are pretty much interchangeable.

**Crazyswordsman** · 01-01-2007, 12:36 PM

^^I don't know. Maybe it's because they have no college programs outside the Badgers, and they have had some limited success. But Green Bay should be probably the best fans next to Cleveland and Pitt. Green Bay tickets are always the most difficult of any football game to get, and Green Bay football games for some reason always get the highest ratings. -CSM

My experience with Philly fans is pretty interesting.

The Saints hosted the Eagles earlier this year. They managed to grab several thousand seats and get a weak E-A-G-L-E-S-EAGLES chant going, and before the game had enough people to have a massive parade down Poydras (major street by the dome) after doing a huge cleanup project in a different part of the city. They travel well, and they're organized, and second only to Steeler fans.

Let me take this time to say that New Orleans is a beautiful city, I went down there on a college tour two years ago, and I was blown away much.

How is Michigan is so high?
All we have is U of M. -_-

Yeah, well Michigan is Michigan. -CSM
