I have actually been through this one. I am in central Illinois which is much closer to St. Louis than Chicago. For most of my childhood there wasn't an NFL team in St. Louis (where my rooting interests in the other sports are), so I was a Bears fan. When the Rams moved to St. Louis many people in my area became Rams fans but I couldn't make the switch.
