*** NFL Pittsburgh Steelers and Green Bay Packers Hip Flasks

The question of best football fans is as subjective as one gets. Firstly you have a biased towards your own team, demographic or favorite colors. On the flipside a Washington fan is going to hate a Dallas fan and vice versa. So how do you get realistic assessment. Things like merchandise sales are weighted towards a teams success and weather for example.

In my research I came across a study by ESPN in 2008 that makes a lot of sense. The ESPN NFL Divsion bloggers got together and ranked the following

1. Stadium Factor - Intimidating, loud etc
2. Live and Die Factor - How hard do fans take defeat
3. Traveling Road Show Factor - Do the fans travel to away matches?
4. Loyalty When Team Sucks - Fair weather fans or through thick and thin?
5. Hate Factor - How much do other teams fans hate you - Check out a Dalls Eagles game for a litmus test of hate
6. Tailgate Factor - How vibrant and original are the pre game tailgates?
7. Home Fans' Creativity - How out there are the fans?

From all that subjective ranking ESPN came up with the top ten list of best fans. Before you through a fit grab your NFL hip flask and chill. Where does your team fit in? If not why not? I would love to hear your comments on the rankings. Especially any great tailgate and home team creativity stories.
