To create this map, analysts determined which NFL team has the most Twitter followers in each county across the nation. Some of results make perfect sense, but other aspects of the map are pretty surprising. The Cowboys, for example, not only dominate Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Arkansas, but have pockets of fans just about everywhere. There are several different ways to compare and contrast fan bases — so if you’re watching a football game right now, we recommend waiting till halftime to play around with the map. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3537532/sunday-night-football-map-fanbase-america-twitter/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3537532/sunday-night-football-map-fanbase-america-twitter/"},"headline":"This Map Shows How Big Your Football Team's Fanbase Really Is","datePublished":"2014-10-24T21:20:13.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:14:03.065Z","description":"Cowboys fans are EVERYWHERE","url":"https://time.com/3537532/sunday-night-football-map-fanbase-america-twitter/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Sports topic","twitter","Football","NFL","Maps"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3537532/sunday-night-football-map-fanbase-america-twitter/","name":"This Map Shows How Big Your Football Team's Fanbase Really Is"}}]}] ```
