Most of Missouri, including St. Louis, backs Chiefs for the Super Bowl
[ad_1]
ST. LOUIS – For most of Missouri, including St. Louis, loyalties lie with the Kansas City Chiefs ahead of Super Bowl LVII.
VividSeats.com released an in-depth report last year naming the most popular NFL team in each county of the United States of America. Findings show that Missouri football fans largely backed the Kansas City Chiefs, though that wasn’t the case for quite everywhere in the Show-Me State.
According to Vivid Seats, in Missouri’s 114 counties, fans are most likely to root for the Chiefs in all but nine. The research is based on data analyzed from 2021-22 ticket sales, specifically zip codes of sales for team tickets.

For the St. Louis region, nearing a decade without an NFL team, the Chiefs are considered the most popular team in St. Louis City, St. Louis County and most areas within two or three counties away from both. The more west you look from St. Louis, the more you notice major support for Kansas City.
The nine Missouri counties more likely to side with NFL teams not named the Chiefs include:
Bollinger
Carter
Clark
Dunklin
Iron
Madison
Mississippi
New Madird
Pemiscot
All of those counties, aside from Clark in the northeastern border, are located in the southeastern portion of the state, hours away from St. Louis. That list includes pratically the whole Missouri bootheel with Dunklin, New Madird and Pemiscot counties.
Favorite teams among those counties include the Dallas Cowboys, Indianapolis Colts, New Orleans Saints, Las Vegas Raiders and Tennessee Titans, per Vivid Seats.
The Chiefs’ next Super Bowl opponent, the Philadelphia Eagles, were not the most popular among those counties, and only one was most devoted to a Chiefs’ division rival in the Raiders. So perhaps that leaves room open for fans questioning their loyalty to side with Missouri’s team this weekend.

According to Vivid Seats, the Chiefs are also the most-popular team in the Metro East, along with most of Kansas and parts of Arkansas, Iowa, Oklahoma and Nebraska.
Super Bowl LVII will kick off at 5:30 p.m. on FOX 2 on Sunday, Feb. 12. The Chiefs are battling for their second Super Bowl title in four years, while the Eagles are battling for their second Super Bowl title in six years.

JEFFERSON COUNTY, Mo. – Two people are behind bars after a man reportedly attacked a Jefferson County deputy with a screwdriver during an attempted arrest over the weekend.
Prosecutors have charged Nicholas Davis, 47, and Amanda Davis, 45, of Dittmer, Missouri, with felonies in the investigation.

The alleged attack followed a traffic stop of a driver in the 9500 block of Jones Creek Road on July 7, though the driver was not Nicholas or Amanda.
According to court documents obtained by FOX 2, Nicholas reportedly came out of his nearby home, yelled at a deputy and started approaching him while holding a screwdriver. The deputy initially ordered Nicholas to back away, then used pepper spray.
Per court documents, the deputy attempted to arrest Nicholas, who then struck him in the chest with the screwdriver. Amanda reportedly approached the deputy and pulled him away from Nicholas before both ran inside their home.
The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office says the situation prompted an hours-long standoff involving negotiators, a SWAT team and a K-9 deputy. The situation led to Nicholas refusing warnings and being bitten by a K-9.
Nicholas and Amanda are both jailed in the Jefferson County Jail without bond. Nicholas is charged with first-degree assault on a special victim and armed criminal action. Amanda is charged with resisting/interfering with arrest.

ST. LOUIS — A gasoline tanker truck crashed into a Metro transit center near Riverview and Hall Streets early Tuesday morning and knocked over a power pole. The pole is leaning on other power lines. Police have the area blocked off here because there is a downed power line. Ameren and Metro crews are also on the scene.
The incident happened around 12:30 a.m. It’s still unclear exactly what caused the crash, but we do that there was a second vehicle somehow involved. The airbags on that second vehicle did deploy.
Accused killer’s case thrown out over one question at trial
Police at the scene have not been able to give us a lot of details. Metro officials tell FOX 2 that the transit center here is operating this morning for passengers and buses. Access to certain areas will be limited here as clean up unfolds.
A Metro spokesperson says half of the station isn’t being used right now because of safety issues. It isn’t impacting overall bus operations, everything is just happening on the other side of transit center.
The extent of the damage to the actual transit center is still unclear, but I’m told it does not appear to be extreme. A Metro spokesperson tells me there were no injuries to any metro workers or passengers. The tanker driver also was not injured.
