Introduction
In the National Football League (NFL), there are a lot of teams with huge fan bases all across America. Which team has the biggest fan base though? That is a very difficult question to answer. In order to make an educated guess, we must look at a few different factors.
Dallas Cowboys
The Dallas Cowboys are a professional American football team based in the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex. The Cowboys compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member club of the league’s National Football Conference (NFC) East division. Theteam is headquartered in Frisco, Texas, and plays its home games at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, which opened for the 2009 season. The stadium took the place of the partially demolished Texas Stadium, which served as the Cowboys’ home stadium from 1971 through the 2008 season.
Green Bay Packers
The Green Bay Packers have the biggest fan base in the NFL, with over 13 million fans in the United States. That’s more than double the size of the next biggest fan base, the Dallas Cowboys. The Packers’ fans are so loyal that they’ve been known to follow the team even when they’re losing.
New England Patriots
Although there are a number of ways to measure the size of an NFL team’s fan base, one common method is to look at the number of “Facebook likes” each team has. As of September 2018, the New England Patriots had the most Facebook likes of any NFL team, with nearly 5.5 million. The Dallas Cowboys, Green Bay Packers, and Pittsburgh Steelers rounded out the top four, with each having between 4 and 5 million likes.
Pittsburgh Steelers
The Pittsburgh Steelers have the biggest fanbase in the NFL. The team’s popularity is due in large part to its success on the field, as the Steelers have won more Super Bowls than any other team in NFL history. The team’s fans are also known for their loyalty and passion, as they regularly sell out Pittsburgh’s Heinz Field, even when the team is struggling.
Conclusion
Based on the results of the study, it appears that the Dallas Cowboys have the largest fan base in the NFL. The team garnered support from fans all over the nation, as well as from a significant number of international fans.
