Biggest football town/city

[johnnie]

I know in Cleveland we pride ourselves in our love for football (although I don't consider it such a huge thing), I was wondering what you all think is the number one football fan town/city?

[Beware the Beast Man]

1. Pittsburgh

Naturally! :hi:

[johnnie]

2. Pffffffftttttt.........

Of course they are...:hi: :toast:

[Beware the Beast Man]

3. But since I live in C-Town

I have to say between Ohio State and the Browns, Cleveland fans are pretty passionate about football.

4. Don't forget Massillon

The Tigers are huge also.

7. I forgot.

Western PA is huge for High School football. Namath, Marino, Montana, Ditka, Jim Kelly, all are from western PA.

11. Western PA

My cousin (somewhat removed) came from New Castle. He also played for Penn State and then off to the big leagues. His name was Ted Kawalic.

26. Played for the Niners and Raiders A very tough and gifted TE

I remember watching him in a bowl game. I think it was the Orange Bowl.

[johnnie]

28. He played in the world football league too

He was a wide receiver.

12. Massillon is the correct answer.

EVERY newborn baby boy receives a football from the freakin' high school boosters club.

I watched "Go Tigers" with my wife. She was amazed. I said "eh -- that's Massillon for ya."

[johnnie]

16. Yeah

I used to hunt down that way, and knew some people from that way. They love their football boy..I tell ya.

5. Green Bay, Wisconsin

C'mon even their fire hydrants are green and yellow.

10. I don't know but DC can be a challange to Green Bay

Man, I moved here 8 years ago and they sucked pretty much the entire time but they are CRAZY about the Redskins around here.

I cannot take the Redskins propaganda in the local DC media!

The team can suck but they are always acting like they are going to win the Superbow.

6. Hey, good question. I'm going to say Green Bay, WI ...

... though you can make a case for Jacksonville or Columbus.

[NMDemDist2]

8. Green Bay no contest IMHO -- where else are season tickets

handed down in wills?

[johnnie]

9. Green Bay.....

That's what got me to ask this. There is a show on A&E right now (City Confidential) and they are talking about Green Bay.

13. Green Bay...

I am so happy that I am going to my first game at Lambeau this year -- Monday night after Thanksgiving. What a great November... it starts with Kerry winning in a landslide and ends with me in green and gold eating brats! Ain't life grand...

[Magrittes Pipe]

14. Congrats. There is no experience in the world like a game at Lambeau.

I've only been to one game there, but it is truly incredible.

[BeyondThePale]

19. Thanks!

I'll be sure to have a Leinie's or two while I am in WI.

17. not to mention

the multiple year long waiting lists

my grandpa waited for season tickets for 17 years!

[Taverner]

15. WAHHHH Football is just for imperialist tools!!!

WAHHHH all you people are tools!!!!!

I'm going to go home and bite my wooby...

Seriously, the biggest city for pigskin has to be somwhere in Texas. It borders on religion down there...

[BeyondThePale]

18. I'm not voting for...

anything from Texas!

[johnnie]

20. I know that high school football is huge down there.

The Cowboys though....ehhhh???? :shrug:

[Taverner]

22. I hate the Cowboys too

But in Dallas football is religion, ya gotta admit.

[johnnie]

23. Only been to Texas once

About a month ago, so I really don't know. I know a woman down there and the yap yap yap about high school football tends to make me think it's pretty big there.
The Cowboys had some great years and maybe that is what makes Dallas a big football town.

[Texasgal]

24. Hey now......

WATCH IT!!! :P

We're not all chimpy lovers downhere! :)

[Meshuga]

21. East Rutherford, NJ!

Giant stadium BABY!

It is the home for two NHL teams!!!

[HEyHEY]

25. Manchester, England

29. You're just trying to stir things up aren't you?

27. Escalon, CA

Not really but this town is comprised mainly of Portuguese and Dutch dairy farmers. There is a growing population of long range Bay Area commuters. Anyhow, they are a small school power. A recent quote from their head coach was something to the effect of, we can not wait to play in the big game and look in the stands and see the whole town up there. For a lot of these kids football is their only chance to get off the dairy. Go Cougars.

30. Chicago, Pittsburgh and Green Bay.

All three are 'football mad'.
