This is a completely RANDOM question but I thought it would be fun to get everyone's opinion!

We all know that most Wisconsinites are huge Packers fans. But I was just wondering about the people in St Croix, Dunn and Pierce Counties. Those three counties are considered to be part of the Metro-Minneapolis area. So I just wonder if the people who live in that area are mostly Packers fans (since they are Wisconsites) or if they are mostly Vikings fans since they are so close to Minneapolis.

What do you think...or what do you know?

Vikings territory overall, but Packers fans are in the area as well. St Croix, and Pierce counties are part of the Twin Cities metro area, Dunn county has a stand alone city, Menomonie.

I've heard that the wsestern WI counties bordering the Twin Cities tend to go for the Vikings. I've also heard that some of WI's southern counties, near Lake Michgan, can go for the Bears, among some segments..

Back in the 90's I serviced stores on both sides of the border. During the Packers SB runs there were plenty of Pack fans even in the twin cities. Then suddenly the Vikings fans came out of the closet when they had that one great year.... until a field goal was missed.... and many fell off the bandwagon lol.
After that, seemed the true fans for either team held firm, and the transplants in the city tended to go for the Vikes.

I grew up in the NW and it is most definitely Packer country through and through. There are Vikings fans sprinkled in the mix, but it makes my skin crawl to think that anyone would call it Viking Country!!!

I have two sisters that graduated from UW-Eau Claire. From what they've told me, the people up there are pretty split, but lean more Packers. There are plenty of Vikings fans in this part of the state, but Green Bay is going to have the most prominent fanbase I'd assume. Again, this is just based on observations from others, not actual first-hand experience.

All of the Bears fans that I personally know who live in SE Wisconsin are originally from Chicago. I refuse to think that any Wisconsin native would be a Bears fan! I'm sure there are some, though. I just refuse to believe it. I'm in denial!
