Taylor Swift, U2, country ... what music act does your NFL team like best?

Taylor Swift, U2, country ... what music act does your NFL team like best?

The folks at StubHub have cross-referenced their NFL ticket sales with people in those various cities purchasing concert tickets and, wham bam, we have a pretty fun list. Yes, these musical acts are the ones that NFL fans are most flocking to in each of the 32 areas.

Here they are:

Arizona Cardinals — U2

Larry Mullen Jr. is huge in the desert, apparently.

Atlanta Falcons — The Rolling Stones

What, no Widespread Panic?

Baltimore Ravens — Florida-Georgia Line

Geographically confused fans.

Buffalo Bills — Garth Brooks

Guessing Rex named-dropped him in his opening press conference or something. (Saving "Friends In Low Places" joke for later.)

Carolina Panthers — Taylor Swift

Getting serious for a minute, Swift is not bad. Really. She's like the Panthers: You don't want to give them respect, but at some point you just relent.

Chicago Bears — The Rolling Stones

I once saw the Stones at Soldier Field, and it was so cold I seriously thought Keith Richards might keel over on stage. Then I remembered he's immortal and his blood is actually brandy.

Cincinnati Bengals — Jason Aldean

Got nothing. Don't listen to his music. Is Aldean the Andy Dalton of country music? No clue.

Cleveland Browns — Garth Brooks

The tie that binds the Bills and Browns. Poor Browns.

Dallas Cowboys — Taylor Swift

Seriously, guys, she's not that bad.

Denver Broncos — Kenny Chensey

Chesney and Peyton Manning are bros and once sang a duet and it was predictably awful.

Detroit Lions — Kid Rock

Seriously? At least it wasn't Bob Seger.

Green Bay Packers — Luke Bryan

There was a huge fight at a country music show at Lambeau this summer, and it wasn't one of Bryan's shows. It was Aldean and Chesney. Go figure.

Houston Texans — Kenny Chesney

It appears Texans fans behaved at this show.

Indianapolis Colts — Ed Sheeran

Nothing says "Amber Waves of Grain" like the saccharine crooning of Ed Shee—sorry, wait, what?

Jacksonville Jaguars — Elton John

The Shad Khanification of the fans.

Kansas City Chiefs — Luke Bryan

Need to brush up on my country. Or not.

Miami Dolphins — Ariana Grande

Perfect.

Minnesota Vikings — Ed Sheeran

Dude performed a 9-minute gjallarhorn solo up there on his last tour, winning over area fans for life.

New England Patriots — Billy Joel

The only New York State of Mind any self-respecting New Englander ever will admit to be in.

New Orleans Saints — Garth Brooks

Supremely disappointing for the best music city in the country. Maybe that unofficial title should be stripped until further notice.

New York Giants — Kenny Chesney

I somehow always pictured Giants fans liking Beck or Björk or something.

New York Jets — Billy Joel

Always trying to keep up with the Patriots. J-O-E-L! JOEL! JOEL! JOEL!

Oakland Raiders — The Grateful Dead

Both entities still basking proudly in the glory of 1977.

Philadelphia Eagles — Maroon 5

The only worse choice? Going to see The Eagles, the band.

Pittsburgh Steelers — U2

Maybe Bono appears larger in smaller cities.

San Diego Chargers — U2

Los Angeles, upon hearing this news, immediately rejects the Chargers from any relocation possibility.

San Francisco 49ers — Grateful Dead

To borrow a line from "Cumberland Blues," the 49ers can't win for losing this offseason.

Seattle Seahawks — Rush

I profess love for no one NFL team, but I immediately am buying a home jersey with "LIFESON" on the back.

St. Louis Rams — Ed Sheeran

Seriously, how much does Sheeran rake in the damned midwest?

Tampa Bay Buccaneers — Luke Bryan

Another rebuilding season ... for music taste.

Tennessee Titans — The Rolling Stones

More twangy tunes in their repertoire than you'd realize.

Washington Redskins — Foo Fighters

Similar to how I like Dave Grohl but dislike the band, there are people who love their team but also have a hard time not hating everything about it.
