why do you think cle adopted nd? again, no big college and many more catholics and irish than cinci, thats why.
so no the overall osu fandom does not rate per capita there as it does vs many, many other ohio cities.

Sigh...
Take a look at the top 10 media markets for Notre Dame's 2020 football season. You'll see three Ohio cities listed, and Cleveland isn't one of them! Cincinnati is #4. So you were saying?

The whole midwest, and even midwest adjacent metros like Louisville and Pittsburgh, have large contingents of ND fans. Cleveland is not special in this regard. I also don't think Cleveland is much more Catholic, or substantially more Irish than Cincinnati. Cincy has a ton of Irish people, and most of the German immigrants to the city (far and away the biggest group) were Catholic, as they tended to come from Bavaria.
