I can guarantee you that the Minnesota Vikings are more popular than the Packers in North Dakota, South Dakota, and Iowa. Not to mention Canada.
——————————————————–

Your “Guarantee” is a little shallow ! ! !

Because what You say is not only Un-true…..
as the Packers are far, far more Popular in the
Dakoitas &amp; Iowa (&amp; Canada) than the “Purple”….
The Packers are an extremely strong #2 in Minnesota ! ! I know for a fact ! I live here !!
Check out the local Fleet Farm store as much Packer stuff for sale as Viking !! HaHa
I believe that speaks volumes ! ! ! ! !
---------------------------------------
I used to live there too.  I once had sideline passes to see Brett break the all time TD record (it was pretty much a guarantee it was going to happen at the Metro Dome that day) and so I went to a sport wear store to buy a Favre jersey, finally, after living and dying by every pass he threw for 15 years or whatever it was then.  The dude at the store had Woodson and some others, but not Brett.  He said he was so sick of constantly stocking them he quit carrying them.  That makes no business sense to me, and I told him so, &quot;so you DON&#039;T want to make as much money as possible?  You are a unique breed of entrepreneur.&quot;  That&#039;s a true story though, and as much as it actually bothers me sometimes how popular the Pack is everywhere, it is a fact that Minnesota is (at best) equally split.  Don&#039;t believe me?  Check out Herkimers on Lake and Lyndale ANYtime the Packers are playing.]]></description>

I live on the east coast and I have met 1viking fan in my entire life.. .perhaps poll Oregonians on what color helmets they prefer since we put so much stock in their opinions and then tell the vikings what a very viable oregonian fanbase. .]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[1 year of success is apparently quite the confidence buster for &#039;9ers fans.  First gay marriage and then a devision title?! The sky&#039;s the limit for the &#039;fabulous&#039; 49ers! 

9ers fans your fervor is commendable but despite what the media tells you the Hawks own the west cost.  Loudest stadium, every home game sold out regardless of a 4-12 record or a 13-3 season.  Enjoy the crash back to reality this season 9ers fans and savor your next 2 months before  you resume your more comfortable position on all fours taking it from every team but the rams because they aren&#039;t &#039;ramming&#039; anything anytime soon.]]></description>

 Not sure why Packer fans have such a HUGE inferiority complex when it comes to Minnesota. No matter what the post is about there always seems to be a reference to MN. You guys are funny.

No come on, thats a different story. Its real cute that you sent over your money so that you could get a serialized &quot;stock certificate&quot; so that you can go around and call yourself an owner of an NFL team. You literally paid money to go around and tell fans of other teams that you are better than them because you gave your team money. Its so cute, love it!]]></description>

Not sure why Packer fans have such a HUGE inferiority complex when it comes to Minnesota. No matter what the post is about there always seems to be a reference to MN. You guys are funny.
-------------------------------------
Actually sweetie it was &quot;thankheavenfornumberseven&quot; who first came in here and started bringing up how popular the Vikings are in major metropolitan areas like North and South Dakota and Iowa.  No Packer fan had mentioned the Vikings yet.  

So who has the inferiority complex again?]]></description>

Band Wagon Fans…It’s the way it is now days.
Look at all the so called 9er’s fans…
Where were they before last year?
Rooting for some other team that was winning.

_____________

most of the 49er fan&#039;s i know, myself included were right behind our team for many many years.  Granted we didn&#039;t have much to brag about in the last 10 years so no sense sounding stupid.  What were we going to talk smack about? How Tim Rattay is a stud qb? Rashaun Woods is the next jerry rice? Not a lot has been written about them in the 2-14 years - but we were there.  There&#039;s a reason our fanbase is alludes to &quot;Faithful&quot;.  

Granted a lot of band wagon fans out there - but every good franchise has those.  We can smell em from a mile - but no need to generalize, good sir.]]></description>

Get a freaking clue!  The Niners have never had a blackout at home and have some of the highest radio and TV ratings in NFL!
