Hey, I'll chime in for a fun thread
MLB: don't really like baseball...only games I've been to are Tigers and to a few Brewers games so if i cheer it's for them....even though I live in Philly (shhh)
NFL: Packers (my mom is from WI) and cheboygan is almost WI (hehehe)
NHL: Red Wings
NBA: Pistons
NCAA:
Basketball: Michigan, MSU, Marquette
Football: Michigan (MSU when they are playing OSU or Penn State)
Hockey: Michigan, WMU (alma mater)
I really only like watching NCAA sports on tv.....unless it is an important game for professional sports

Ya know, Yaz, when we lived in AZ briefly earlier this year, my dh, who normally is a baseball nut, just could not get into the D-backs at all. I couldn't even get him to go to a home game. I guess it didn't help that they were pretty bad this year, but mostly, he just couldn't get into rooting for a recently formed (relatively speaking) expansion team. After being a lifelong Tigers fan, he just didn't want to even try to be a D-backs fan. None of us are into the NFL in a big way, so the whole Cardinals thing was kind of off of our radar, even though we lived in north Glendale and were only a hop, skip and a jump from the stadium.

I guess I'm a true HOMER.
MLB- Tigers have and always will be the only team I can follow.
NBA- Don't care much for B-ball but hope the Pistons do well.
NFL- Been a Steelers fan since I was a kid, but do pull for the Lions to turn it around. Can't say I'm a huge Lions fan because they are rarely on the tube anymore. LOL
NHL- Sorry but Wings fan since I was a very young. My buddy and me would fight over who was going to be Dale Mccourt playing hockey in his back yard.
NCAA- Grew up in a Michigan house. Remember watching games with my dad. He was a big Michigan fan unless they were playing Notre Dame. The he just hoped for a good game but secretly pulled for the Irish.

MLB: TIGERS! (Second-favorite team is whoever is playing the Yankees.)
NBA: I do not like the NBA's style of basketball, but in theory I root for the Pistons.
NHL: Not much of a hockey fan, but in theory I root for the Red Wings.
NFL: LIONS!
NCAA: Michigan State. Also root for all the other Michigan schools. In hoops, I also like Duke. In football, I find myself pulling for South Carolina recently.

Despite living in (near) South Bend, I hate the Irish with a passion. I couldn't stand them when I moved here, and now I hate them as much as I hate Ohio State. My favorite NCAA teams: Michigan, and whoever's playing Notre Dame.

NCAA: U of M, but MSU is growing on me. Just wish at least one of them was good at football.
Others: Shock. R.I.P; EMU - They totally suck but it's my alma mater.

My wife has lived in The Valley for 20 years.....so, she's been following them for their entire existence. I have "sorta" become a Diamondbacks fan by default.....i.e., cuz that's what's on TV.
The Tigers were in town last year for a weekend series; that was great. Our seats were right behind home plate and we had a wonderful time. Pretty cool ballpark.

Not very old. If I remember right they only changed to the Eagles in 91 or 92.

Yes, Chase Field is gorgeous! I went to a game with my son when his favorite player, Albert Pujols, was in town with the Cardinals. What a cool venue! When they opened the roof right before the (evening)game began, it was amazing!
Phoenix has some wonderful sports venues, don't they?
