Debatable. I for one don't get and might have gotten for a year or two when I was about 10 die-hard fans but they don't seem to be limited to any one team.
The thing I like about the Packers is the people and the city own the team. Jerry Jones would move the Cowboys to Tehran if he could make enough money off it. I have one Cowboys ball cap left from before Jones buying the team. I refuse to buy Cowboys merchandise because of Jones, and that's extended to NFL merchandise the past two seasons.
It annoyed(s) the crap out of me when owners move teams. The cities are dumb as f*ck about it too. Cleveland spent more money getting the Browns name and building a new stadium than had they given Modell what he wanted. Conversely, Modell got less from Baltimore than the Browns did in the end.
We didn't get to see any of those Northern Midwest games when I was a kid. Not to mention my dad didn't like pro football so we were lucky to see a game period. Then it was the local team wherever we were stationed.
