ESPN SportsNation Survey

In summer 2002, the Entertainment and Sports Programming Network (ESPN) conducted an online survey of more than 40,000 sports fans nationwide. ESPN called the survey ESPN’s SportsNation and published some of the results in the August 5, 2002, edition of its magazine.

This work used ESPN’s data from the survey to create maps showing geographical patterns in the voting results. In a survey of approximately 30 questions, the mapping possibilities are seemingly endless, leading to in-depth mapping analysis for specific sports-related topics. This poster presentation shows a sample of sports maps derived from the data.
