Rams fan base ranked last in NFL by new studyRams fans have been put through the wringer in recent years. From watching games at the outdated Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis to the team leaving for Los Angeles, it certainly hasn’t been easy for Rams fans.
And that’s without even considering how bad the team was from 2005-16.
Things are looking up now, though. The Rams are on the rise as one of the best teams in the NFL, their new stadium opens in a year and the future looks bright with Sean McVay and Jared Goff leading the way.
That’s all good news, but according to a new study, the Rams’ fan base is the worst in the NFL. It’s a study done at Emory University each year and it analyzes each team’s fans based on a number of factors. They include attendance, revenue, following on social media and fan attendance on the road.
The Rams are still building a following in L.A., which will be made easier by their success on the field.
For the Rams (and the Chargers), we should probably include an asterisk. Moving markets and playing in temporary stadiums can lead to questionable data. The Rams – like the Chiefs and Browns – are well positioned for on-field success over the next few years. The good news for these teams is that on-field success is the best way to create brand equity and fan loyalty. The bad news is that it takes a good amount of success to move the needle long-term.Go to Full Article-
