From what I've seen, they are into the WA teams there. Even as far east in the Panhandle area as Wallace, I saw Seahawks paraphernelia (sp?).
Of course, with all the southern Californians moving there, you may see a few Raiders flags. I know, Oaklands isn't in Socal. Try and tell that to a Socalian.

I agree with the other poster, most root for Washington teams as there are no teams in Idaho (professional). They are more into basketball and hockey though, not so much baseball. As far as football and baseball most people I know have a modge podge of teams all over the country they like.
Go Braves!

That's not going to fly in Missouri! 
Better leave the tomahawk behind and pack a red bird or two in the moving van.

Basketball is very big here... Hoopfest in Spokane is quite popular in the summer. Several blocks of the downtown are closed off and over 400 courts are set up for 3 on 3 basketball. The Gonzaga Bulldogs, Washington State Cougars in Pullman for college basketball and Football. I've watched the Spokane Chiefs play hockey at the Spokane Arena, and the minor league Spokane Indians baseball puts on a pretty good show. So Spokane is much more a sports town than CDA, but it's an easy commute. CDA does have the Ironman traithlon, and various other runs and bike rides throughout the region. For professional sports, Seattle Mariners and Seahawks. Many of their games are televised locally...

It will be our little secret. I'd hate for word to get out that a Braves fan was moving to town. No one would sell you a house!

I wouldn't worry about the Cardinals fans too much - I even saw someone wearing a *gasp* Cubs shirt at a local diner a few weeks ago, and he was not followed by a gang of hecklers! So I think you'll be okay being a Braves fan in MO.
As for me, I'll be pulling my Cub-loving butt out of here soon enough to get to Idaho this summer...they even have a Cubs minor-league team in Boise, I see.
