I live in Illinois, just outside of St. Louis:
MLB: Overwhelmingly the Cardinals, with some Cubbies fans as well.
NHL: Overwhelmingly the Blues, with some Blackhawks fans as well.
NFL: When the Rams were in St. Louis, they were the main NFL team. Nowadays, it's Bears, Chiefs (moreso on the Missouri side), Packers, Patriots, Cowboys, Broncos, Steelers, Cardinals (once based in St. Louis), and assorted teams. This region had a fairly significant NFL loyalty drop-off.
NCAAF: Mizzou dominates, but Illini is a decent 2nd. Others: Alabama, Florida, LSU, Ohio State, Notre Dame.
NCAAB: Illini leads here, but Mizzou has some sizable support, as do SLU. SIUE and/or SIUC support also not uncommon. Others: Kentucky, UNC, Duke, Kansas, Gonzaga.
Soccer: EPL is most supported league, with ManUtd, Man City, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool leading the way from that league. Real Madrid and Barcelona from La Liga have decent support among soccer fans. In addition, Juventus and AC Milan from Serie A, and Bayern and possibly Dortmund from the Bundesliga also are supported among soccer fans. MLS support is basically non-existent, at least until St. Louis ever gets a team. There is also a small pocket of Liga MX support, with Chivas and Club América leading the way.
