City with the best football fans?

[ATL96Steeler]

Really curious to know how they ranked Pittsburgh so high on the college football side?

And ATL so low on the CFB side?

Yeah that one truly voided the whole list. #110 I guess they never been to Atlanta before or even know what is in Atlanta?

Idk about the most, BUF has to be up there...but the Browns fan base has to be one of the most loyal...some of that had to be spurred on by losing a franchise to Baltimore...LA w/o NFL football...okay, land of the sun and surf, etc...CLE w/o NFL football had to really suck...especially pre-Lebron.

Most loyal...I agree with. Even back in the 80's with the Dawg Pound.

I have a feeling that in 5 years the Pat's fan base disappears again.
Hope I'm wrong.

 

[Rock Strongo]

I remember, but, didn't they have a hard time drawing fans for most of that time?

no, not at all. once parcells came here? absolutely the opposite. before parcels and drew? yea, we were the browns, or the hapless jets...but worse. laughing stock of the nfl.

They have always supported the Bruins, Celtics, and Red Sox, fanatically. Those teams rule in Boston. Years ago, I did not think of Boston as a Pro Football town.

how long ago is years ago? 85 and 96?

long before that, I can remember watching Jim Plunkett and Jim Nance. I did not attention to them because they were usually pretty bad, and we had our own drech to disgust us.

I doubt it, but I will tell you, there's a generation of people in the greater Boston area that know nothing but winning SB titles and a generation before them that had never seen a SB winner until the BB/Brady era.

I was curious enough to put a face to the name of this article...

ok, so you go WAY back. I'm 44. i sat thru the blackouts, rod rusts opening day win and 15 straight losses...

plunkett was given no chance here. no line, no help. most of his issues today are a direct result of his time here.

we got jobbed in 76. hard. sugar bear got ripped off. that team was gonna win a super bowl. they ran for nearly 3,000 yards.

You are on the money there.
My son reads about the bad old days with awe to where they are now.
I remember them being blacked out on TV because they weren't selling tickets.

I still have a bad taste in my mouth thinking of Parcells bailing out just as they made the SB in 97.

IDK what criteria was used but I think the low college ranking fits for CA. Never been a college sports region. Nothing close to other parts of the country.

I have to give it to the Packers fans. Isn't Lambeau Field the only stadium left in the NFL with bench seating? I mean to pay that kind of money and either have to sit on a cold, hard bench or bring a seat cushion, and with no back support to boot. Yet the Packers faithful fill up that stadium each and every game each and every year, thru good and at times terrible weather. Nope, gotta give it up for the Pack fans. They're looney tunes for paying top dollar in accepting these high school seating conditions, but they're damn faithful looney tunes.

Unfortunately that's all GB has to offer. So for 8 games a year the faithful show up in droves and have a great time. What's insane is the amount of money the hotels get during a football weekend.

To echo your comments I thoroughly enjoyed attending a game there with the looney's and would do it again in any weather condition. Gracious gracious hosts and knowledgeable fans
