StubHub Study Unveils NFL Fans' Favorite Concerts
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – Music and sports pretty much go hand in hand.
From walkup music in baseball, to Jock Jams blasting over the PA system during stoppages in play, music is a growing part of sports.
With that in mind, StubHub took a look at what concerts NFL fans were attending in their spare time.
To conduct their investigation, they looked at fans that purchased tickets to NFL games and live concerts.
You might be surprised to learn that Styx is not the preferred choice for Steelers fans, according to the study.
Instead, the survey suggests that Steelers fans love U2.
Here's a look at some of the bands that fans of rival teams prefer:
Cincinnati Bengals – Jason Aldean
Pittsburghers can appreciate this choice for the Bengals! Aldean performed at PNC Park with Florida Georgia Line last summer.
Speaking of Florida Georgia Line…
Baltimore Ravens – Florida Georgia Line
"This Is How We Roll" is kind of catchy, but it's at least a little surprising this band was the preferred choice for Ravens fans right?
Cleveland Browns – Garth Brooks
The AFC North's country theme continues!
Here's the thing, Brooks is a self-proclaimed Steelers fan, so you have to wonder how many Browns fans made their way across the state border to see him perform at Consol Energy Center.
One thing is for certain though, Brooks wasn't writing "The Dance" about the Browns.
They haven't made the playoffs since 2002, where they lost to the Steelers 36-33.
Here are some other notables:
New England Patriots – Billy Joel
You've got to have some quick and nimble fingers to play the piano. You've also got to have quick and nimble fingers to deflate footballs in the NFL, so this makes perfect sense right?
Steelers fans were hoping that Tom Brady's four-game suspension would hold up in court. However, that didn't happen and he's now free to suit up against the Steelers in the season-opener.
Seattle Seahawks – Rush
Rush...get it?
If you can't appreciate the irony in this one, perhaps you missed the end of Super Bowl XLIX.
You know, the part where the Seahawks were on the one yard line and elected to pass instead of hand the ball off to Marshawn Lynch. Inevitably, the pass was picked off and the Patriots won the game.
Oh, irony.
