Green Pay Packers got #1.

Seems like a pretty accurate list. Denver that high shocks me a little though.

Seattle at #9? I guess this is a year to year thing, because 3 years ago they would have been #26, and they will be again in a few years.

I hate rankings like this. How do you tell if a team has better fans? Raider fans will murder you for liking another team. Shouldn't that say something? Browns fans still sell out games yet they haven't been good since the 80's. 4 of the top 5 teams on this list have great QB's and have had a lot of recent success. Where were the Saints/seahawks/Patriots fans before they won their Superbowls or got to them? seattle fans get too much credit when all credit should go to the stadium. When it is as loud for a soccer game as it is a football game in America, you know it is the stadium.

So true!! I moved to Seattle for work in 2001 and until last year I could get tickets to the Niners games cheap. I never saw people going overboard as fans. Now it is like a SEC college town on game day with flags flying from cars and everyone taking homerism to new heights. The bandwagon over the top fandom just drives me crazy! I kid you not I was debating with a Hawks season ticket holder last week about who had better RB depth, the 9ers or Hawks and he could not even tell me the names of the back up RBs on the hawks, only that they were better than the 9ers.

I was never a fan of lists like this because every team has it's diehard fans, it's stupid fans, and it's bandwagon causal fans.
