I think it would be more proper to say that certain teams have a "national following" such as the Red Sox, Yankees, and Cubs (there may be more) as opposed to teams such as the Rockies, Brewers, Diamond Backs and Nationals for example who have a Regional-Local following.
Using the Cubs as an example I believe they are second to the Yankees (I could be mistaken but they're up there.) in attendance on the road.
If you include revenue from Minor League Baseball it may exceed the NFL or at leasr come close.
