The ultimate rivalry? Alaskan Seahawks fans vs. Hawaiian 49ers fans.
Facebook has put up their 2014 Fandom Map (broken down by county) for the NFL season and — at least locally — it’s very predictable. The Eagles zone expands as far north as Carbon County, PA, as far west as Schuylkill/Lebanon/Lancaster, and as far south as the southern tip of NJ and Kent County, Delaware. Almost everything else in PA belongs to the Steelers (Pike and Monroe counties in NEPA go for the Giants). Also not surprisingly, the Jets claim no county as their own, and the Cowboys reach out to fair-weather fans and their children all across the country.
