Question on fan loyalty

Question, how can Raleigh with a reported population of 401,552 be ranked 26 and Columbus coming in with 754,885 slotted at 34??? Odd; either way my choices / best guess are above
Because they're including Durham and Chapel Hill (UNC & Duke) in the "metro area". Chapel Hill is a stretch. By that count the Cleveland "metro area" should include Lorain to Painesville, and everything north of Brunswick.

It actually includes everything you mention plus down to south of Canton.

The reason Columbus is so large is that they incorporated Franklin county. If Cleveland were to incorporate Cuyahoga it would be higher in population.

It really doesn't matter.....everything is based on metro area. For marketing purposes, all of it is Cleveland TV Market....Mentor, Lorain

Speaking for Greenville/Spartanburg (#36):
Years ago folks who lived around here were primarily Dallas fans. Atlanta has never been an attractive choice for some reason. People watch the Falcons but I can't say I've ever seen any fans.
Judging by the gear the kids wear, I'd say the Panthers have more fans but you just don't see much Panthers paraphernalia on cars and such. People are more likely to display Clemson or Carolina loyalties.
As for the Sports Bars I've been in (a total of three or four) the Pittsburgh fans seem to be more plentiful. In fact, I was at a place last week and the guy running the trivia contest is a Pittsburgh fan who claims he "used to be a Browns fan." There's a fairly active Browns Backers group here in Greenville. I haven't been to a club to watch a game since before smoking was banned.

Thinking back, I was pulling for the Hawks as well...and even with the Steelers or the others, it is probably better defined as pulling for rather than rooting for.

Not sure where you got these numbers but they are not even close to the real TV markets for a lot of these teams.......especially those who metro areas exceed the numbers you quoted

Rich is absolutely not a fan of the Browns.
BY DEFINITION, you cannot be a fan of both the Browns AND either the Steelers or Ravens.
You can be a champion-chaser. You can also be a moron. But you can't be a fan.
Loyalty matters. The definition of the term "fan" isn't up for debate. Ballpeen and rich, your definition was rejected long ago. You are welcome to go talk amongst yourselves - but don't run that line of BS in here.

You are friigiging totally stupid............by definition a FAN is short of Fanatic and fanatic means you really want that team to win................so by definition a fanatic can root for as many teams as he wishes............and a moronic less that intelligent fool will limit that to ONE TEAM.......thus you are a complete mental midget....among masses of mental midgets
-
No offense intended, but for the life of me, I can't comprehend how anyone could root for the Steelers and Browns....
You have to cross that mark in the sand one way or the other..... It's impossible to be a fan of both teams....
Coming from a family of hard core Steeler fans, (my father grew up a few houses away from Art Rooney Sr and they life long friends) Theres no way you can root for both....It's in the blood from around age 8 to 10 and you become a fan for life...

Not sure where you got these numbers but they are not even close to the real TV markets for a lot of these teams.......especially those who metro areas exceed the numbers you quoted

These are the Neilsen numbers for Designated Market Area. These numbers are for "TV households", not straight population figures. Even if a "household' has 4 different people watching 4 different things on TV it still counts as one household apparently.
