The Most Passionate NFL Fans in America Click image to enlarge Notes on our data collection Web Presence: Teams were ranked 1-32 in 5 categories: Number of Instagram followers, number of Twitter followers, subscribers to their subreddit, Facebook pages likes, and results when searching the teams name in Google. All 5 scores were added, and the team with the lowest score was #1 all the way to #32. Attendance: Teams were ranked 1-32 based on attendance as a percentage from 2000-2019. Sources: http://www.espn.com/nfl/attendance/_/year/2019/sort/homePct https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2019/attendance.htm Loyalty: Loyalty Score provides a ranking of all teams (1-32) based on their correlation reading R between their league standings and home attendance ranking. The closer a teams R is to zero the weaker their correlation between attendance and league standing. That is, the closer one's R is to zero the less indicative it is of that team being said to have a "bandwagon" fan base. At the other end of the spectrum, those whose R is further from zero, indicates a stronger correlation between attendance and league ranking, and therefore more reasonably accused of showing signs of a bandwagon following. Sellout Score: The Sellout Ranking ranks teams based on a study conducted by Reviews.org to determine how much money home team fans would accept to root for a rival team. The lesser amount of money in such an exchange does worse for the team's reputation for having passionate fans. The greater amount of money required to root for a rival says more about the allegiance of that team's fan base.
