NOTE: The UP is not full of anything... it is mostly empty. But what is there are generally Packer fans. There are significantly more Lions "fans" in Detroit area than people in the UP. I've also lived on both WI borders: IL and MN. There is plenty of hate of the Vikings and Bears, but once again...far more people on the IL border than the MN border. I grew up in the UP and it is a pretty even split between Lions/Packers fans. My entire family roots for the Lions minus 2 relatives and myself. It was about a 50/50 split in my friends as well. The western UP has a higher Packer fan volume than the eastern UP.
