Good work patriot fans, we have now been called the best fans in the NFL by Michael Lewis, a professor at Emory College in Atlanta.
These ranking seem to be very well thought out and seem to be none bias. Michael Lewis is currently an Associate Professor of Marketing at Emory College. He has obtained a Ph.D. in Marketing from Northwestern Lewis earned an MBA from the University of Chicago and a Master’s in Industrial Engineering from the University of Illinois.
When explaining how he came up with the rankings he said: “These models are used to determine which cities fans are more willing to spend or follow their teams after controlling for factors like market size and short-term variations in performance.”
The Patriots have been ranked number here is why: “The Patriots victory is driven by fans willingness to pay premium prices, strong attendance and phenomenal social media following. The final competition between the Cowboys and the Patriots was actually determined by the long-term value of the Patriots greater social following. The Patriots have about 2.4 million Twitter followers compared to 1.7 for the Cowboys. Of course this is all relative a team like the Jaguars has just 340 thousand followers.”
So hats off to all the Patriots fans out there!
