Blog Topic #11


The above map shows the distribution of NFL team fans who are the majority of the population in the given geographcial areas. For the most part, the corresponding teams are at or near the state boundaries where the team originates. I absolutely love professional football, namely the Denver Broncos which is my home team and I have bled orange and blue nearly my whole life. As you can see, my Broncos cover more land mass area than other teams but if you were to look at the population distribution of those states, they are far less than California or other states on the East Coast. The Raiders, our rivals, cover two seperate places having been originally located in LA but is now in Oakland. The Jets don't even make an appearance on the map, which is funny, at least to me. Another thing I wish to mention, if you check out Nebraska it is divided between the Broncos and Chiefs; unfortunately for me, Seward lies on the eastern edge which means I get the Chiefs game here more often than the Broncos. Next year, unless they resolve the all these issues, the NFL may not even have a season which means I'd be watching nothing but the Huskers all year long. Again, football is one of those things I am really passionate about and here is a map that gives a little insight to our nation's favorite teams.
