You’re more likely to run into a Giants, 49ers, or Warriors fan than a Sharks fan in San Jose. But, at the same time, you’re more likely to run into a Sharks fan in San Jose than anywhere else in the Bay Area, so there is that.
Vegas is a valid example, though. Nashville is debatable.

Nashville had an NFL team before the Preds. And Vegas about to be a 3 sport town. Honestly Vegas is like nothing else anyway.
Yea for sure the NoCal teams are all relatively close together but it doesn’t seem right saying that San Jose had the Raiders for example. It’s a bit like Anaheim and LA, it’s such a populated area that you have teams serving different markets.
Not how it would be in Austin in any case.
