The above map comes from the unofficial Twitter account @NFL_Stats. It reportedly shows fan loyalties to National Football League teams throughout the contiguous 48-states. It is neat comparing this map to the map of Major League Baseball team loyalties.
- The Minnesota, western Missouri, and Colorado teams battle for the most wide open space, the Interior West, in both football and baseball.
- The South has more teams so the Georgia, eastern Missouri, Florida divide in southern baseball fan loyalties is not repeated in American football.
- And the Oakland Raiders is the only team in professional baseball or American football to still have a hold on their historical home (Los Angeles, which the Raiders left in 1994).

You mean the Raiders moved back to Oakland from LA in 1994. They left Oakland for LA in 1983.
