  3. Miami Dolphins

    'Dol-fans' are respectably crazy about their team, even if a Super Bowl showing has evaded them since 1985. Games are wildly popular and the Dolphins are painfully successful, in that they always raise fans' hopes but never quite fulfill them. Sun Life Stadium is in Miami Gardens, 15 miles north of Downtown.

  5. University of Miami Hurricanes

    The Hurricanes were once undisputed titans of university football, but experienced a slow decline in 2004. They've recovered a bit as of research, and attending a game surrounded by UM's pack of fanatics is lots of fun.

    Saskatchewan Roughriders

    Not to be confused with the Ottawa Rough Riders, the Green Riders, as they're known to legions of rabid locals, have achieved cult status within the Canadian Football League (CFL). Mosaic Stadium usually sells out to mobs of fans who don, of all things, watermelon hats.
