What college you go to Deerkick?
University of Michigan is absolutely huge on sports. American Football games sell out in the 45,000 stand stadiums each and every game. Michigan State University has the number 2 basketball team in the country, and has like 20,000 people attend a game. It's crazy.
College sports are a huge deal here. People wear college sports apparel more than actual professional teams. Don't forget that all the atheletes that play in the college sports get full scholarships (20,000-45+,000 a year) plus get picked up in the professional leagues in 10+ Million dollar contracts once they're out of school. It's a huge deal.

I go to U of Minnesota.
Yeah you're spot on about football (american). Soccer here gets terrible crowds like I've said. And FIFA's been trying to improve that here for ages. I mean if FIFA can't really make a breakthrough here I doubt ICC can.
