And Americas team is just a nickname. I wish the country would get over it. Besides, Harris interactive says that Dallas is the most popular team in the NFL for the fourth year in a row. They have ben doing this poll since 1999 and Dallas had never dropped below number four. Here is a link.

I was at both Skins/Boys games and they didn't take over Fedex Field. Skins fans are in Dallas too homey. It goes both ways.

In smaller cities (Pgh, GB, KC, Buffalo, Cleveland) the local teams are integral to the culture of the city. In the vast sprawling cities like Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, Phoenix there is no such connection (although Dallas is ahead of the rest of that pack), largely due to the fact that a lot of the population recently relocated there from Pgh, GB, KC, Buffalo and Cleveland.

Plus Cowboy fans are fickle. When the boys lose, they don't show up and their stadium doesn't get loud. I would say Packers and Steelers have the best fans. Dallas has one of the largest fan bases though.

Of course for Cowboys fans, the stadium doesn't get as loud as it used to. It's not like we've had MUCH to cheer for the past decade and a half....
