What NFL Team Has the Least Fans?
Contents
If you’re looking for the NFL team with the least fans, you might be surprised to learn that there are a few different contenders for that title. In this blog post, we’ll take a look at some of the teams that have fewer fans than others, and we’ll also explore some of the reasons why some teams have more fans than others.
Introduction
It is a commonly accepted fact that the Dallas Cowboys have the most fans in the NFL. But which team has the least fans? That is a harder question to answer.
The Five Least Popular Teams
In the NFL, some teams have more fans than others. This is due to many factors, such as the team’s history, the location of the team, and the team’s recent success. There are a few teams that have fewer fans than the rest. Here are the five least popular teams in the NFL.
Buffalo Bills
The Buffalo Bills are a professional American football team based in the Buffalo–Niagara Falls metropolitan area. They compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member club of the league’s American Football Conference (AFC) East division. The team plays their home games at New Era Field in Orchard Park, New York. The Bills are the only NFL team that plays its home games in the state of New York. The Bills conduct summer training camp at St. John Fisher College in Pittsford, New York, an eastern suburb of Rochester.
The Bills began play as an original franchise of the American Football League (AFL) in 1960. They joined the NFL as part of the AFL–NFL merger for the 1970 season. The club has appeared in four Super Bowls, winning none. They are 0–4 in those appearances. The Bills have won ten AFL/AFC Championships, and played in an additional four AFC Championship Games. They have also played in and lost seven Super Bowls appearance, which is tied for the most appearances by any NFL team without a win.
Cincinnati Bengals
The Cincinnati Bengals have been one of the least successful teams in the NFL over the past few decades, and their fans have had enough. The Bengals have only made the playoffs four times since 1990, and they have zero playoff wins in that span. As a result, Cincinnati has become one of the least popular teams in the NFL.
The Bengals struggled again in 2019, finishing with a record of just 2-14. This was good for last place in the AFC North, and it was Cincinnati’s worst record since 2002. Head coach Zac Taylor was widely criticized for his poor coaching performance, and many fans called for him to be fired.
Due to their poor on-field product and lack of success, the Bengals are one of the least popular teams in the NFL. It is unclear when or if they will turn things around, but it is safe to say that their fans are fed up with them at this point.
Detroit Lions
Right now, the Detroit Lions are one of the least popular teams in the NFL. In fact, they’ve been near the bottom of the league in terms of attendance for years. In 2015, they ranked 28th in attendance, and in 2016 they were 29th. What’s even more incredible is that despite having some of the worst attendance numbers in the league, they still managed to sell out every home game in 2016.
This can partly be attributed to the fact that Detroit is a small market city and there just aren’t that many football fans to go around. Additionally, the Lions have been one of the worst teams in the NFL for most of their history. They haven’t won a championship since 1957 and have only made it to the playoffs ten times since then. In other words, there hasn’t been much to get excited about if you’re a Lions fan.
Of course, all of this could change soon. The Lions have actually been pretty good over the past few years, making the playoffs three times since 2011. They also have a young quarterback in Matthew Stafford who is one of the best players in the league. So maybe things are finally looking up for Lions fans… but don’t expect too many people to start jumping on the bandwagon anytime soon.
Miami Dolphins
The Miami Dolphins are the least popular team in the NFL, according to a recent poll. The team received only 8 percent of the vote, which is down from 14 percent in 2017. The Dolphins have been struggling on the field in recent years, and their lack of success has led to a decline in fan support.
New York Jets
The New York Jets are an American football team located in East Rutherford, New Jersey. They compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member club of the league’s American Football Conference (AFC) East division. The team is headquartered in Florham Park, New Jersey. In a Sports Illustrated poll of 321 NFL players, Jets players were selected the most intimidating team.
Conclusion
The answer to this question is Cleveland Browns. The Browns have had the least fans for the past ten years. They have had an average of 60,000 fans per game.
