"Two-thirds (66%) of adults in Columbus, Ohio are avid sports fans, making the city the #1 sports town in America, according to (pdf) a recent analysis from Scarborough Sports Marketing.
Boston, Buffalo and Pittsburgh round out the top four sports markets. Nearly two-thirds (64%) of Boston adults are avid sports fans, as are 63% of those in Buffalo and Pittsburgh."
The Bills dominate Buffalo, with 66% of its residents reporting they are Bills fans. Based on percent of the market, Buffalo also is home to Sabres, the NHL team with the largest home-city fan base in the country: 59% of Buffalo adults are Sabres fans. In Pittsburgh, the Steelers are most prominent, with 75% of Pittsburgh adults saying they are fans.
