Football fans have some free time in the summer as they wait for preseason to being or their star quarterback to finish battling the NFL via the justice system. Football fans, like most regular people, seem to enjoy music and so StubHub decided to see which concerts fans were attending. The list is based on fans who purchased tickets on StubHub for both NFL games and live concerts. The results are at times totally expected, sometimes surprising, and marginally hilarious (Eagles fans).
Arizona Cardinals
Favorite Band: U2
Atlanta Falcons
Favorite Band: The Rolling Stones
Baltimore Ravens
Favorite Band: Florida Georgia Line
Buffalo Bills
Favorite Band: Garth Brooks
The Cardinals and Falcons open up the list with strong candidates for king of dad music. Garth Brooks appears multiple times on this list and Buffalo is the least surprising location. Baltimore apparently forgot Dru Hill exists.

Carolina Panthers
Favorite Band: Taylor Swift
Chicago Bears
Favorite Band: The Rolling Stones
Cincinnati Bengals
Favorite Band: Jason Aldean
Cleveland Browns
Favorite Band: Garth Brooks
Garth Brooks is now the preferred choice of Browns and Bills fans. Is the infinite sadness within the arena swift and acute or dull and steady?

Dallas Cowboys
Favorite Band: Taylor Swift
Denver Broncos
Favorite Band: Kenny Chesney
Detroit Lions
Favorite Band: Kid Rock
Green Bay Packers
Favorite Band: Luke Bryan
This is the most sensible foursome on the list.

Houston Texans
Favorite Band: Kenny Chesney
Indianapolis Colts
Favorite Band: Ed Sheeran
Jacksonville Jaguars
Favorite Band: Elton John
Kansas City Chiefs
Favorite Band: Luke Bryan
I would have believed Jaguars fans would pay money to watch a dumpster get lit on fire if you told me so it’s nice to see that they fill their spare time listening to one of the most prolific composers in a generation. Which brings us to Ed Sheeran as Indianapolis’ hottest ticket. Seriously, Indianapolis? Ed Sheeran? Have a modicum of respect.

Miami Dolphins
Favorite Band: Ariana Grande
Minnesota Vikings
Favorite Band: Ed Sheeran
New England Patriots
Favorite Band: Billy Joel
New Orleans Saints
Favorite Band: Garth Brooks
For The Win’s own Micah Peters, a native of New Orleans, was irate when he discovered the betrayal that had befallen him at the hands of his home. Micah’s betrayal is nothing compared to that of the state of Massachusetts committing themselves to the patron saint of New York City and grandmothers from New Jersey, Billy Joel. AND ED SHEERAN AGAIN.

New York Jets

Pittsburgh Steelers
Favorite Band: U2
San Diego Chargers
Favorite Band: U2

I’m shocked Rush appears only once on this list and I’m also shocked that U2 isn’t the most embarrassing band featured.
This is Ted Berg with Rush
St. Louis Rams
Favorite Band: Ed Sheeran
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Favorite Band: Luke Bryan
Tennessee Titans
Favorite Band: The Rolling Stones
Washington Redskins

Seriously why do people like Ed Sheeran so much?

Whatever. He’s nice enough, I guess.

Don’t get cocky on me, Sheeran.
