The Geography of Baseball Fans SeatGeek's interactive map titled Where do MLB Fans Live? is an interactive map that shows which teams are the most popular teams in each county in the United States.

On a related note, here's a nearly realtime USGS map of the latest seismic activity around the world.   50 Tech Tips and a Tech Tuesday Webinar.png) Every month this year I've hosted a webinar for people who have purchased a copy of 50 Tech Tuesday Tips.
