This is pretty neat!
Social media is increasingly becoming a popular way to understand
regional fandom in professional sports. Recently, DNAinfo found that the Knicks have more fans than the Yankees by looking at Facebook likes in
NYC.
The interactive map below shows NFL fandom across the U.S. based on the
number of people following the teams' official Twitter accounts.
Take a look and play around with it to see where and how popular certain
teams are in regions of the U.S.
It's interesting to see the popularity of big-name teams like the Dallas
Cowboys or Denver Broncos and their far reach around the country.
The "compare" option is also a cool feature, especially for areas with
several teams in the same region. For instance, the Philadelphia Eagles
have more Twitter followers and a wider range of fans than the Baltimore
Ravens.
However, the Pittsburgh Steelers have more followers and more
fan regions than the Eagles.
It's not exactly scientific, but it makes for fun data to explore.
