What sports teams are most popular where you live?

Question

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!

Answer 1

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

I live in the area of Chicago, so the area teams would be most popular. The baseball teams are Chicago Cubs and Chicago White Sox, neither is popular for me. For NFL football is the Chicago Bears. College Football I would think the 2 main ones would be, and a few others, would be either Northwestern Wildcats, or Illinois Fighting Illini. For basketball, the Chicago Bulls. And for Hockey, for the NHL you have the Chicago Blackhawks and for the AHL, you have the Chicago Wolves. Most of the teams plays on a TV station that is has a super station, and that is WGN TV, and a lot of them will have certain number of games on their a year.

Edit: If you need the name of the actual town I live is Palos Park. But for baseball, for Chicago is up between 2 baseball teams, and usually fans on the Nothside of Chciago will be Chicago Cubs fans, and for the Southside of Chicago, will be Chicago White Sox fans. But you never know, you could run into people onm either side of town, that might cheer for the other baseball team.
