vmax Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 (edited) We knew this anyway... Forbes: Ravens Fans Among NFL’s BestMost 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 populationCombine 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: 4TV Audience Rank: 6Stadium Attendance Rank: 1Social Media Rank: 8Merchandise Rank: 12For 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 Edited August 22, 2014 by vmax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cravnravn Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 •Three years' worth of television ratings. Iam so tempted to tell Direct TV to shove the NFL Ticket up their ass, they raised the price this year to 240.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
