Not sure I understand how the word 'Best' is being interpreted.

With Forbes, it's kind of hard to understand what the meaning of the word "is" is...:p:bng:

#7 Cows? That's a damn lie. Self proclaimed "America's team" - I don't recall voting whose America's team was but I demand a recount.

SMH.

Never mind that. How did the SuperDome not rank in the "NFL's Most Overpriced Beer" ranking. $9 for a 12oz beer!? Are you kidding me? Does any stadium in the NFL have the nerve to charge more than that?!?!

Damn. Used to be $3 for a half gallon Dome Foam.

It's not just the beer either. A coke is like $8. That probably has a lot to do with the lack of merchandising (not that 10th in the league is bad or anything). That and the fact that everybody already bought their Drew Brees and Rafael Bush jerseys years ago. ;)

At least it comes in that aluminum bottle and there's sooooo many options. Lol

The NFL's Best Fans - Forbes

one criterion is "% of population attending or watching", a stat also known as "how could Green Bay NOT win?" Green Bay has 100,000 people.

didn't they struggle to sell out a playoff game?

Yeah, but it was like -40 degrees that game. It only got 12 below where I live and the whole town practically shut down. You are at a very real risk of hypothermia if you're in that kind of weather for any length of time.

Interesting correlation of events how the Superdome wanted to "upgrade security" by having "NFL approved handbags" and now concession prices have skyrocketed...

The next thing you'll see is Goodell wanting NFL Superbowl Halftime performers "pay for the privilege"...wait, that has happened as well...

I have always been so proud of us WHODATS. How few games were not sold out and blacked out in our history? A history which pales in success compared to every other team on that list. Yet we remained loyal. We are DEFINETELY the most optimistic of all fan bases. I've predicted so many Saints Championships it's ridiculous. Of course I predicted John Fourcade would lead us to a title and finally past Joe Montana and the 49ers. Did he make it to week 8 as the starting QB?

1. Packers - totally understand this one. owned by the people and sold out by way of season tickets, if you want season tickets get in on a person will. that is the only way your getting them. want a really treat? frozen tundra of Lambo in December. Vikes vs Pac was a really fun time.

2. Broncos - great fans but i do not see it

3. Saints - we should leap frog the broncos.
