The Green Bay Packers have the best fans in the NFL, according to market researchers Nielsen Scarborough.
The research says that 84 percent of adults in Green Bay are Packers fans and have admitted to having watched, attended and/or listened to the team’s games.
According to Forbes, the rankings are based on five criteria hometown crowd reach (defined by Nielsen Scarborough as a percentage of the metropolitan area population that watched, attended, and/or listened to a game in the last year), 3 years worth of television ratings (per Nielsen), 3 years of stadium attendance based on capacity reached, 3 years worth of merchandise sales (per NFLShop.com), and social media reach (a combination of Facebook likes and Twitter followers based on the team’s metro area population).
