Geographic Fan Distribution
(Al posted this a really long time ago (I think on his old site), but a recent school project led me to look it up again.)
Have you ever wondered just how widespread Cubs fandom really is? Geographically speaking, we're everywhere, as evidenced by BCB's readership. But wouldn't it be nice to be able to look at a map and see how many Cubs fans live in what part of the country?
Such a map actually exists, provided by the CommonConsensus Project. Check it out here:
http://www.commoncensus.org/sports.php
They've done this for each sport, but I'm interested in the baseball map. Some interesting things to note:
You can contribute to the statistics by completing the poll data.
The data also helps with the sister project. That project attempts to draw borders as citizens view them, rather than as they are drawn on maps. Read about it at the site, where they describe it better.
This is a FanPost and does not necessarily reflect the views of SB Nation or Al Yellon, managing editor (unless it's a FanPost posted by Al). FanPost opinions are valued expressions of opinion by passionate and knowledgeable baseball fans.

that same shirt
However the Cub fans just smile and say 'Go Cubs', it's hard being on the South Side, but being Irish and on the south side, I fit in, therefore, it's home.
