Top Premier League Club in Minnesota
Based on Premier League shirt sales, Tottenham Hot Spur has the biggest fan base in the state.
Here is an explanation as to why that might be the case, courtesy of the Star Tribune:
Tottenham Hotspur is not the most successful soccer club in England, but it might be the most popular team in the Twin Cities, given that the Minneapolis Spurs fan club boasts more than 500 members. Explaining the Spurs’ popularity requires explaining the club’s star-crossed history, which might go a long way toward understanding why this North London club seems so very Minnesotan.
Tottenham is one of the “big six” clubs in England that traditionally run roughshod over the English Premier League, and as a rich, fashionable London team, the Spurs aren’t exactly underdogs. Although the club’s trophy case is more barren than you might expect: no league titles since 1961, no FA Cup wins since 1991. A couple of lonely triumphs in the League Cup, England’s secondary cup competition, is all the team has to show for the last quarter-century.
“Tottenham has a very Minnesota-like track record. They’ve been around forever, they have a storied history, but heartbreak is the central piece of being a Spurs fan like it’s the central piece of being a Minnesota sports fan,” said John Eichten, the vice chairman of the Minneapolis Spurs.
Minnesota has its own state MLS team, the United.
Not surpringly, Minneapolis ranks 14th of WalletHub's top soccer fan bases in the US based on over 60 key metrics.
