CKWS is responsible for many Maple Leafs and Canadiens fans too might I add. Utica gets that.
Theres a ton of Red Sox, Celtics and Patriots fans Upstate but no Bruins.
There are also a lot of Eagles and Flyers fans and lesser extent Phillies.
Very true and they get CKWS in Oswego and Watertown. Syracuse did until the 1988 Summer Olympics or so. I used to watch Expos games on there or on Channel 15 on a fuzzy screen and in French on the non cable TV at my parent's house. Same with the CFL. Binghamton has the Ottawa Senators AHL affiliate. So, they may have a few fans.
VintageSunlight, don't forget that Cortland has the Jets training camp. So, that is something to keep in mind. Not sure about a Jets bar, but I'm sure that there is one close by.

I know- that's awesome. There's probably no dedicated Jets bar, there aren't even any of those in NJ that I'm aware of. Probably some in NYC or out on Long Island. Usually the Jets are on at 4:00, and the Giants play at 1:00, or vice versa. So usually there's a place I can watch, like a TGI Fridays or Buffalo Wild Wings. Or I can cough up some dough and get the NFL Sunday Ticket with Direct TV. Whatever I need to to, I'll do it!
I always wondered if Jets held their camp in Cortland to capture the Central NY audience and fan base. Albany is clearly Giants-NFC and Patriots-AFC territory. Western NY is solid Bills Country. But CNY, being that it is somewhat on a cusp between Bills and Giants territory, with some Patriots mixed in, I think the Jets strategically chose that area to make in-roads in a 1,000,000+ population area. To basically suck up fans that would normally choose Bills and Pats (both which are in their division):

I live in Syracuse and am a Red Sox fan, but I've been a Red Sox fan as long as I've been a baseball fan... it has nothing to do with where I live. I don't follow football, basketball, or any other sport
I'll be checking out Tully's for sure- looks like a good local place.
If you go with High Acres, the closest location is in Fairmount on W. Genesee Street. If you go from ESF, the location on Erie Boulevard East is the closest. Think of perhaps a scaled down Dave and Busters.

I'm going to the Yankees/Red Sox game down at Yankee Stadium on Saturday! I'm super excited, haven't been down there yet. And guarantee I will be the only person in my group sporting Red Sox apparel
I grew up in the Albany area as a NY Giants fan (yes, I am old enough that they were still playing in NY when I became a fan). As for the other sports, my mother was born in Boston so she raised me to be a Red Sox, Bruins and Celtics fan. The Patriots are my AFC team, but the Giants are still my favorite football team.
You don't have a "Both" in your polls. Any team that plays in New York State is a New York team imo.
