Likability Index: Final rankings for all 32 franchises

The Packers are the closest thing we have to a perfectly run franchise in North American sports. Green Bay is the only publicly owned franchise in major professional sports, rocks iconic green-and-yellow uniforms, and boasts a cunning, calculating general manager in Ted Thompson. A perennial Super Bowl contender led by reigning MVP Aaron Rodgers, the Packers are the most likable club in the NFL.

 

 

A silly and probably non-scientific criteria, but a fun read nonetheless.

Great ideas rooted in love.(R)

"The Bears' classic uniforms and rich fan traditions are a stark contrast to the intense unlikability of Jay Cutler. Essentially, a single player drops this team out of the top 10"

 

Nailed it!!!

They nailed it that the Pack is the most likable, but I hope by the end of the season we're the most hated because we won another SB! Or maybe it's just us fans who should be most hated for all the bragging we'll do.   

I guess this is a good place to post this, as it supports the idea (fact) that the Packers are the most likable team.  In another thread, I commented about how much more a ticket costs when the Packers are coming to town here in Phoenix vs. when other teams come here. 

 

I looked at the other 7 away games for the Packers (at StubHub), and compared them to the rest of the season's games. 

 

Here are the results.  The first dollar amount is the cost of Packers tickets when they visit, the second amount is the average of the other 7 games played at that venue:

 

CHI - $243/$126

SF - 173/100

DEN - 355/307

CAR - 91/52

MIN - 95/43

DET - 75/65

OAK - 86/38

ARI - 137/47

 

Supply and demand would indicate that people want/demand to see the Packers play, hence the increase in their games compared to the rest of the teams.

Biggest draw, too.

According to information provided to CBS Sports by SeatGeek, the Green Bay Packers are the NFL's biggest road draw for the 2015 season.

The median price of a ticket to a game against the Packers is 57 percent higher than the team's typical home game, according to SeatGeek's data, which is culled from secondary market sources.

After the Packers, the top five is rounded out by the Pittsburgh Steelers (53 percent), New England Patriots (45 percent), Dallas Cowboys (41 percent) and Denver Broncos (37 percent).

 

On the other end of the spectrum, the median price to a home game against the Jacksonville Jaguars is 24 percent lower than the team's typical home game. The Jags are joined in the bottom five by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (20 percent), Cleveland Browns (19 percent), St. Louis Rams (15 percent) and Cincinnati Bengals (14 percent).

Thx a million for taking the time to pull it together and share it T-bird, good stuff.

 

 

Dallas, Philly, and Seattle in the top ten?  Dallas has the bandwagon fans but they also are universally hated by almost all fans of other teams.

 

Seattle?  to me they also have a ton of new fans but  to me their players are mostly world class D'bags

 

Philly?  I have always for some reason always disliked that team and I just don't see what there is to like about them.  I spent 3 long hours around their fans once and I will never do that again.
