Colorado:

56.7% Denver Broncos
21.5% Colorado Avalanche
10.4% Denver Nuggets
3.7% Colorado Rockies
3.0% Dallas Cowboys
2.9% New York Yankees
1.8% Utah Jazz

Fifth in your own state! The Cowboys may be more popular than bread when they get good again


Other than Salt Lake City, Dallas is about the next closest sporting city to Denver.
