I would say I know more people who are NFL fans in Calgary than NHL and that is no lie. Most of my buddies wives are into it and play fantasy and all my friends are pretty hardcore NFL guys. I have increased my football fandom each year for the last 7-8 years.
I heard Matt Rose state he thought the NHL was 1 in this city (I fully agree) then he thought the Blue Jays would be ahead of the NFL and I had a hard time buying that one.
Maybe it is just a far more vocal minority but I get the feeling the NFL surpasses the Stamps for fandom in this city by quite a bit and I would put it second to the NHL albeit a very distant one.
Me personally I prefer the NFL to the NHL (in the sense of 2 random games) but the Flames are number 1 over anything else by a huge margin.
