Best Fans in the NFL...
Alright it's time to settle which team has the best fans based on this criteria:
-Most loyal (selling out games in hopeless seasons)
-Best Homefield Advantage- Obviously KC has a huge advantage because of their huge stadium but imagine if every team had a 50,000 seater. Which team would have the most advantage from their fans.
-Best Traveling Fans (How many fans show up at thier team's away games all across the country and superbowls)
-How crazy is the town (Do you walk around seeing your team's jerseys everywhere and people going crazy for them everywhere)
Feel free to add any other kind of criteria to determine which team has the best fans.
My vote goes:
1. Pittsburgh Steelers (Great tradition, fans travel extremely well along with tons of fans all over the country, toughest tickets to get, plus record training camp attendance records over 15,000 for preseason camp, and overall bonds with the players-you can't go anywhere without seeing steeler fans and the town is completely crazy for the team anyone who's ever been to Pittsburgh has seen it)
2. Green Bay Packers (great traditon, decent road attendance, town loves them)
3. Oakland Raiders (Decent road attendance, their stadium has tons of diehard fans who go nuts for them, tough place to play anytime, Great traditon)
Honorable mention: Denver, Seattle, Washington, Dallas, others
Thank you

Packers by far IMO, they have sold out every game since 1960 and have a 35 year waiting list for season tickets.

Bears Fans dont seem very passionate, your more likely to see one cooking hotdogs then to be cheering for the team

I would tend to disagree but of course I would I'm a Bears Fan!!
I think the cold weather teams like Pittsburgh, Green Bay, Chicago, etc. have the best fans. Any fans that will sit at a game when it snowing -10 degrees outside with a -40 degree windchill, even if their team is losing in the 4th QTR, are the best fans to me!! Just my $.02!!

Obviously I would pick Pittsburgh, but I have seen a lot of other cities but none as football crazy as the burgh. I agree that the bears aren't as passionate and as for the packer having 35 year wait for tickets, that didn't stop the many steeler fans from getting tickets to that game last year

I don't know what you all are talking about!?!?!? Chicago just got ranked as the #1 city for sports fans by Sporting News. I know a lot of that has to do with the White Sox World Series victory and the pitiful Cubs selling out just about every game. But guess what, out of those White Sox and Cubs fans, I would venture to guess that 90% of those fans are Bears fans who are just as passionate about football as they are about baseball.

Pittsburgh is crazy, we have passionate fans, if your not a steeler fan in Pittsburgh...your not welcomed. Ask any comentator and they will say the Steelers fans travel more than anyone. Greenbay, well its tradition and the entire city can fit in the stadium so evertone goes to the games.
You said the cold weather fans, which is usually the case. But NE only has fans because they won 3 superbowls...theyre not great fans up there. But the best fans are the ones that will go anywhere and sit in -20*snowy weather in a playoff game.
