Connecticut Suns Dominate the Northeast
Connecticut’s fandom footprint stretches far beyond The Constitution State.
The Suns are the most popular team throughout most of the Northeast, claiming Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont.
In the women’s college basketball scene, UConn has a similar hold on the region. Geno Auriemma’s program is responsible for sending household names like Sue Bird, Rebecca Lobo and Dianna Taurasi to the WNBA.
Minnesota Lynx Own the Midwest
After the Sun, Wings and Storm, the Minnesota Lynx follow in popularity.
Led by Sylvia Fowles for the past seven years, the Lynx dominate their respective state while enjoying a foothold in adjacent states as well.
The Lynx enjoyed a nearly unparalleled level of success throughout the 2010s, making a league-record six appearances in seven years and winning four championships.
