How many fans here actually live in their team's market?

[BabyBull]

Same.

But a 9 and a 1/2 hour drive to Boston.... or a 1 and a 1/2 hour plane ride. Last time it cost about $300 taxes included.

That's not near the Boston market man, that's a reach lol.

[BabyBull]

im from the Bay area, and technically I with the Lakers or Warriors but I like the Bulls more.

[Derka]

Boston is exactly 45 minutes north of my home on the Southcoast of Massachusetts. Truth is the entire New England region is considered the "market" for all of our pro sports teams.

[kurple]

I live in Oslo

[HorryIsMyMVP]

If I was born in Iraq I'd be dead. If I was born in Africa I'd be starving. And **** the Pistons I don't care if I live close.

[Hittin_Shots]

Google directions say 56 days but I'm not sure how the car goes on the water.

An hour from the AAA. I live in West Palm Beach. It's Heat country though, it's only once you go north and reach Ft. Pierce and Vero Beach where it starts to turn into Magic country.

yeah yeah, every kid who spends two weeks visiting their grandparents in Naples, Florida has been a heat fan their whole life

[LBJDW305]

I live about 3 min from the arena in my new apartment...I can see the arena from my balcony

[TrueRob]

I live about 10 miles from Staples Center. 15-35min commute depending on traffic. I work less than a mile away from Staples Center, and I usually pass it by during my weekday commute.

[macpierce]

I live 10 minutes outside downtown LA

[NumberSix]

Used to.

[bleedinpurpleTwo]

I go to the University of Minnesota-Duluth so I'm 3 hours away from the Target Center.

Before moving here I grew up 15 minutes away from the Target Center and I will be relocating there once I graduate. (3 hour drive to see Wolves games sucks.. still managed to see 10 games last season)


If you don't live near your team, let us know where you're at (even if it's not in the U.S. )

yup, kinda figured you were a college kid.

[Ken_Masters]

Live in the city of Chicago, about 45 mins from the United Center via public transport, however i'm not a Bulls fan. I am a Celtics fan. Became a Celtics fan when the Big 3 formed and love the team tradition so much i decided to stay rooting for the Celtics even after the big 3 leave. Consider me a bandwagoner turned real fan.

[miles berg]

2 hours from the Mavericks AAC.

I think it's funny that fans believe living where their team is something to be proud of. More than anything, it proves you have been sucked into a hype machine without making your own decision.

I think college teams are good to follow if you went there or live where it is, but NBA teams? It's accepting the bare minimum. Obviously, it's cool to go to the games, and it would be odd to dislike the team that you were near, but to force yourself and like them and their players because you live there and everyone else does it? Doesn't seem like something to be proud of to me...
