summer in Minny.Ive been to the Metrodome more times than ive been to the Kingdome and Safeco combined!
Man I feel bad for you on that one. We'd play our first 6 games of the year there every year in college, it doesn't even feel like a major league field to a kid who played his HS ball at White Center Park lol.

Even the Kingdome had a beauty and magic to it that the Metrodome lacks, the place is a piece of shit.

Broncos...born and raised Denver! It sacraligious not to be a broncos fan
Nuggets....Denver born again
Mets...When I was little and we got cable all that was shown was damn Braves and Cubs, and I remmeber 1 week the Mets beat both teams and I didn't like always watching those 2 teams so I became a mets fan and have been since.....1982. I like the Rockies since they are are hometown, but the Mets always are my fav when the 2 are playing...gotta stay loyal to who was the first.
Avalanche...hometown and never really got into hockey prior.
College football...First is CU only because homestate, but I root for Michigan as well. Micigan as been My fav college basketball team so it flowed over into football as well.
Soccer....go rapids..I guess...since it's hometown....and go Chelsea <--This is becuase I work with a guy that is from england and is a HUGE chelsea fan and I never got into soccer so to have something to talk about I started watching them as well.

Raiders, because they gave some of my favorite players (Ronnie Lott, Jerry Rice, Aaron Brooks) a second chance after the critics wrote them off.

L.A. Lakers because of Kobe. That fool is ill.

Raiders - my dad started takin me to games once they moved back to Oakland...after about the 3rd game I was hooked..before that I didn't watch much football.

Giants - grew up going to games at Candlestick when they had guys like Will Clark, Robby Thompson, Matt Williams etc.

Warriors - Liked them since the Run TMC days...Didn't watch them much after that era until around 2000 when the Warriors drafted J-Rich, Murphy and Arenas and I slowly started watching them more and more...now I watch every game I can.

I don't have any ties to players or pro teams. I have to like the player(s) in order to like the team. If the team is garbage I ain't fuckin' with them.

Blazers - Originally from Portland and been a fan since I met Clyde Drexler when I was 5.
Aw man.... I used to be a Portland Trailblazer fan because of Clyde. One day (back in 1990) I didn't have anything to watch on T.V. So I was flipping throught the channels and seen the Warriors playing basketball. So I was like ain't shit on TV so let me watch this. And then I seen Clyde playing. I was like damn... I like the way he plays basketball. So I began to follow Clyde and the Blazers. Terry Porter, Jerome Kersey were sick too. When he got traded to the Rockets I started rolling with Houston.

Now that Clyde has retired, Kobe is my favorite player.

boston redsox
n.e. pats
boston celtics
boston bruins

atlanta braves
atlanta falcons

first teams i ever followed was boston. lived there when i moved back here from venezuela in 85. moved to atl in 90 with my pops lived there off and on til 95. followed the falcons and braves because they were in opposite conferences and at that time neither was a threat to the boston teams since they were in opposite conferences, not to mention THEY FUCKIN SUCKED. i follow atlanta teams closer but i love both just the same. i still have a satin atlanta falcons starter jacket (remember those?)

i live in ohio now so as long as the cavs arent playin boston i'll go for them because lebron james is a hogg.

college teams i like probably one for every conference.
acc= georgia tech
big ten= penn state
big east= wva
mac= marshall

Seattle Seahawks - my father has been a big Seahawks fan for as long as i can remember. as the years went by, i always remember watching the games with him every season.

San Antonio Spurs - i've become a Spurs fan around the mid 90's. they were my second favorite team aside of the Bulls, but soon as Jordan retired, Spurs became my new fav team. David Robinson always been my fav player.
