For those in states without a professional sports team...

that's what i figured. people will usually root for a team closest to them. i would think that the state of texas are more dallas cowboy fans than houston texan fans.

which new state do you think is ready for a professonal football (or other sports) team?

I would agree that there are probably less Texans fans, if only because they are a relatively new franchise, and Dallas is one of those "bandwagon" teams that people root for when there's no one else.

Well, Nebraska obviously has no professional sports teams and only one big college, so that's why there's border to border devotion to Nebraska football. As for what pro teams, I grew up in NE Nebraska and my dad has always loved the Vikings. My husband grew up in Western Nebraska and they were all Denver Broncos fans. I think that people in SE Nebraska probably follow the KC Chiefs. And most people I know follow the KC Royals (although now with the Rockies, Western Nebraska fans probably follow them) because Omaha has the Royals AAA farm team.
