College Football Fan Map: Where Are Your Team's Fans?

August 16, 2024 by Madison Marx


College football is back in all its glory, and so are the fans. 

Amidst competitive regional rivalries and decades-old traditions, different college football programs reign supreme in their own corners of the country. 

As America’s favorite Saturday fall tradition kicks off, Vivid Seats explores America’s rooting interests by identifying the top college football team in each county, according to college football ticket sales from 2023 to present day. 

It’s clear that there’s no shortage of passionate fan bases across college football. To find the most popular college football team in your region, view the interactive map below: 

Deep Devotion in Tennessee 

The Tennessee Vols boast one of the most passionate fan bases in college football and have a stronghold on the state’s football fans. “Vol Nation” is known for its unwavering support, filling Neyland Stadium, one of the biggest stadiums in the country, with over 100,000 fans each game. It comes as no surprise that the Tennessee Vols are the most popular college football team in 93 counties in the Volunteer State.

Michigan Defends Its Turf

While the Michigan Wolverines have enjoyed plenty of success on the gridiron as of late, they also have a sizable fan domain in their home state. Entering the 2024-25 season, the reigning NCAA football national champions have the most geographically widespread fan base in Michigan, claiming 46 counties to Michigan State’s 27 counties. 

Lone Star Loyalties: Allegiances Run Deep and Wide 

Unlike the NFL, where the Dallas Cowboys are Texans team of choice, the state’s college football loyalties are a little bit more diverse. The Texas Tech Red Raiders claim most of the rural northwest part of the state, and even counties in New Mexico. Meanwhile, the other major Texas college programs claim territory in their respective counties and surrounding areas: Brazos County (Texas A&M), Harris County (Houston Cougars), Travis County (Texas Longhorns), McLennan County (Baylor), Tarrant County (TCU) and El Paso County (UTEP Miners).
