Cheeseheads take the cake!

ESPN has made it official – the Green Bay Packers have the best fans in the NFL. According to a recent post, market researcher Nielsen Scarborough ranked the fans of every NFL team in a number of categories and the loyal Cheeseheads came out – decidedly – on top.

Scarborough’s research showed that only 16 percent of adults living in Green Bay are not fans of the team. But, as we all know, it’s not just the Green Bay citizens that bleed yellow and green. The Packers have an incredible 4.4 million followers on Facebook and 701,000 on Twitter. Clearly, their fan base reaches far beyond even Wisconsin – proof that Packer fans are one of a kind. And, all statistics aside, what other NFL fan base could touch a Cheesehead tailgate?

Pack fans were followed in ranking by the Denver Broncos and the New Orleans Saints, but we can’t say we’re surprised that Wisconsin takes the top spot. After all, you don’t win 13 championships without some intensely loyal fans backing you up.
