No idea but I’d assume it’s a north/south split

I am in the middle but I would say the Falcons due to having to watch them every Sunday before you had choices.

I grew up in Alabama, and I think it mainly depends on who is winning more. I latched onto the Redskins at 7 or 8, when they won their 1st SB. I've been with them ever since. Tons of Raider and Cowboy fans, since they had the coolest merchandise.

BTW, the Titans are just as close to most parts of North Alabama as Atlanta. They've been there for a long time now..

Gulf Coast Bama seems like Saints territory for the most part, so this tracks

Southwest Alabama is definitely Saints territory.

Northern Alabama I think would probably be split between Falcons and Titans

Fun fact.... Mobile claims to have an NFL team called the Saints 3 years before New Orleans.

Titans for north Alabama, Falcons for central and east Alabama, Saints for southwest Alabama/the coast.

Cousinfricking Alabama fans shouldn’t be allowed to pull for the Saints. This goes double for the ones Montgomery and north that are closer to Atlanta. Pull for your shitbirds.

Most people don't really give a shite. I went to the very first Titans game and it still didn't stick.

Around the gulf coast, I've never met a Falcons fan. It's mostly Saints but I know a few Steelers fans actually.

I've never been north of Birmingham honestly. People say there is a difference between north and south Alabama. But I've gone to a lot of Florida cities mainly for the beach. Pensacola, Destin, Fort Walton, etc.

I've been going to Saints games since 1989. I'm a proximity type of traveler


for what it's worth my favorite college team is the red, white, and blue. The South Alabama Jaguars

not sure about N.Bama, but along the coast they are hard core supporters of the Saints

Wouldn't be surprised if a sig percentage are fans of teams outside the South. National teams, like Dallas or Washington. Maybe moreso than the avg states, even without NFL teams. B'ham and Alabama are big markets for football, so fandom stretches a bit.

Not sure but I have a friend from South Carolina who is a cowboys fan.

And people from Texas like the saints more than the falcons
