Forbes: Ravens Fans Among NFL’s Best

Most of you already knew it, but now there’s evidentiary proof.

The Ravens fan base is one of the best in the NFL, and, sorry terrible towel holders, THE best in the AFC North. Yes, Ravens fans can officially say they are better than Steelers, Bengals and those die-hard Browns fans.

At least, that what Forbes says after an in-depth study.

How do they know?

The business magazine ranked purple and black addicts fifth in the league, third in the AFC and first in the division. And the rankings were compiled based on five criteria:

•Hometown crowd reach, defined as the percentage of the metropolitan area that watched, attended, or listened to a game in the last year.
•Three years' worth of television ratings.
•Three years of stadium attendance based on the percentage of capacity reached.
•Three years of merchandise sales, according to NFLShop.com.
•Social media reach, using a combination of Facebook and Twitter followers based on the team’s metro population

Combine the rankings in each of those categories and – boom! – Ravens are No. 5.

The teams ahead are the Green Bay Packers (No. 1 overall and in hometown crowd rank, attendance and social media), Denver Broncos, New Orleans Saints, and New England Patriots.

Ravens’ category rankings:
Hometown Crowd Rank: 4
TV Audience Rank: 6
Stadium Attendance Rank: 1
Social Media Rank: 8
Merchandise Rank: 12

For fans that live next to pesky Redskins (n/a, didn’t make top 10) or Steelers (No. 7) fans who are constantly buzzing, Forbes armed you with a pretty legit arsenal to argue with and swat them away. http://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/article-1/Late-For-Work-822-Forbes-Ravens-Fans-Among-NFLs-Best/3ae1b15c-b913-46e9-be9f-d06e29847678
