I grew up in the panhandle of Florida and it is total Braves country...you can't even get a Marlins game on the radio. Now, a lot of that has to do with the fact that when I was growing up the Marlins didn't even exist, so the nearest pro team was Atlanta (6 hours away) and you got them on the radio and TBS. South Florida, the times I have visited, seems to be more Yankees territory than Marlins country due to all the transplants.

The whole Orlando region is crawling with Tiger fans. I'm down here for about week every year (I stay an hour from downtown) and every single place I go people ask me if im from Detroit. I've been all around Florida and never seen a Marlins fan. I'm not sure they exist. The state is basically a mix of Tiger/Braves/Yankee fansJayElectronicaBluElzhi2PacTheNotoriousB.I.G.ReksSc arfaceFashawnJeruThaDamajaComment

Here in Pensacola I only see Braves games on TV if they happen to be playing in the Sunday TBS/ESPN national game, or if they are playing the Marlins. It sucks.Comment

NE Oklahoma should probably be Cardinals, but there are a lot of Rangers fans popping up here. Before 2010, it seemed like I was the only Rangers fan around here, but after they went to the World Series, everyone had a Rangers shirt or hat.Comment

The panhandle is certainly Braves country, but less so than it used to be. Cox in Pensacola and Fort Walton does not have Sports South in its lineup but does have Fox Sports FL and Sun Sports, which show Marlins and Rays games, respectively.

I know it's an old map, but Jays territory is now blue, not grey.
And I'd actually expand the Mariners one abit more north, since they do have a fair amount of fans in BC as well. But almost all of Canada is Jays territory though.Comment

I don't know many O's fans. Two off the top of my head. It's definitely saturated with Phillies fans, but they didn't exist as outwardly until the Phils started making the playoffs. Now every car has a Phillies logo on it...NHL - Philadelphia Flyers
NFL - Buffalo Bills
MLB - Cincinnati Reds

I can speak for Indiana, it seemed like alot of Cubs fans in that area, and Reds fans were all over Kentucky.Last edited by DamnYanks2; 03-08-2013, 06:44 AM.Comment

I'm about 5 minutes from Maryland. If you are over towards Wilmington, understandable. I know/see plenty of Phillies fans, but there is a fairshare of O's fans as well, but like I said, they might have just popped up last year.Comment

Yeah I'm in Wilmington. I'm sure around Newark and the UD area there's probably more O's and possibly Nats fans since it's right on the Maryland line.NHL - Philadelphia Flyers
NFL - Buffalo Bills
MLB - Cincinnati Reds

South Florida is where you find all the Marlins fans, they exist they just don't go to the games because most of them don't live in Miami and those that do well have no reason to go lolSaints, LSU, Seminoles, Pelicans, Marlins, LightningComment
