In your opinion, which NFL team has the most fans in the central Illinois area of Peoria, Champaign-Urbana, Bloomington-Normal, and the surrounding areas.

I am asking this because I want to try and figure out if the Bears are limited to Chicago, or if they are truely the "Pride and Joy of Illinois."

From my experience in Springfield, I'd say the favorite NFL team there is the Bears, followed by the Colts. Although, I think if you asked people there their favorite football team overall, they'd probably say the Illini...

The Cardinals used to play in Chicago. In fact, they were in Chicago before the Bears were.

Which makes sense because the cardinal is the Illinois state bird, not the Missouri state bird!
