I'd say it's 60/40 in football and baseball it's closer to 2/3 Yankees

I know. I just wanted to shout that out. It's pretty board on who's a fan of who these days. Gentrification, has removed plenty of fans to the burbs and to far off places in the country, while in its wake is nothing more than college sports fans. In the NY metro area and even further includes eastern PA. I can say about 2/3 are Yankee fans. Yankee fans extend to far south Trenton NJ and far west as Allentown PA. Giants fans to me seems like 60/40 over Jets in the metro area. There are maps that show where are fans located by regions.

Looks like the metro area is overwhelmingly Yankee Giants.

Here is NBA map. Tri state area is knicks http://www.si.com/nba/2015/01/13/nba...er-lakers-heat

I don't know. I would've agreed with the other posters but prosperity brings fans to the table. Right now, it seems like every native baseball fan outside of the Bronx is rooting for the Mets. You see that stadium in Queens jammed every home game and the fans are more loyal and crazy for their team. I'd say if we're talking fans within the states, then it's no question it's like 2/3 or even 3/4 dominated by Yankees fans but within the metro area at least this year, it seems as if it's a lot closer than in recent years... And the way they're set up right now, they could be looking at a potential dynasty team. Their pitching goes 6 deep and Cespedes has played like the MVP of this league ever since he came to NY

I'd guess there are way more Yankees fans compared to Mets fans and that the numbers are pretty close football wise. But as far as I know there's never been a real study done on this so this is just anecdotal.

Mets fans seem to be concentrated in Queens/Brooklyn/LI whereas Yankees fans are in a good amount everywhere throughout NY Metro. Giants I would think would comfortably have more fans but something tells me it's a lot closer than most realize.

I only care about the Giants. Never liked baseball. Use to like basketball and the Knicks until about 2000, then it because unwatchable except for the brief period of Linsanity.

I've always liked the Yankees. My family has always like the Cubs, so I grew up cheering for the team that wasn't terrible haha. Go Black Hawks too! A Rangers vs Blackhawks would have been nice to see for the Stanley Cup.

Bigger gap between Yankee and Mets than the 2 football teams.
