Fox Sports article: "Study reveals NFL's most 'unstable' fan base -- any guesses?"

 

The Emory University study confirms that the Patriots, Steelers, and Raiders have the most unstable fanbases when it comes to positive fan responses after wins versus negative responses after losses.

 

In constrast, the most stable fanbases belong to the Cowboys, Colts, Eagles, Texans, and Falcons.

Not surprised that "America's Team" has the most stable fanbase.

[CR91]

um half our fanbase is in denver

[IndyScribe]

um half our fanbase is in denver

That's true. I guess half our fans are bandwagon fans.

[BOTT]

um half our fanbase is in denver

So, they moved to Denver?

[shakedownstreet]

do they base this on psychiatric drug prescriptions? 

[Synthetic]

I do not believe those articles are accurate by any means

[Coltsince4]

um half our fanbase is in denver

Are we talking about Peyton jumpers??

Unfortunately

Evidently a lot....LOS stadium is always sold out.

Well seeing how this is after the 2011 season, a lot.

yea is that why season ticket renewal were an all time low for 2012. All the fans that came back where bangwagoners not true fans

As long as people buy tickets who cares how they buy them? I wouldn't ever buy season tickets, I guess I'm a bad fan. So I guess you think the steelers don't have true fans either.....lots of empty seats last night.

[Jules]

Our fanbase is fine. People get too caught up at times in the internet Broncos/Peyton craze and think it's the norm everywhere. It isn't from my experiences.

 

Most I know who are Colts fans LOVE Andrew Luck. They loved Peyton too and still might root for him if the Colts are eliminated but that's about it.

Yeah, that probably has nothing to do with our crashing economy.

what section are your seats in?

our season ticket renewal was never that low. You think thats coincidence

[jvan1973]

our season ticket renewal was never that low. You think thats coincidence

actually it was and has been far worse. I listened to many games on the radio as a kid when the games were blacked out.

I just don't think it matters. Maybe it was a bunch of old people who didn't want to sit through a rebuild. If people believe it's going to be a poor product they have every right not to renew. If people were mad at Irsay for dumping manning...who cares? People will take there seats.

You're missing the point

And im glad they left

No your point is invalid.

Do you have season tickets?

[jvan1973]

A lot

Yea right

[jvan1973]

Yea right

Don't speak about things you have no clue about. I go to about four games a year. Downtown is always packed on game day, as is the stadium. I'm positive i know a lot more colts fans than you do, and we are all still fans

It was doomsday in 2011. Reading nothing, but negative things about the team and their leaving to Denver so dont tell me I dont have a clue

You don't have a clue if you base the biggest majority of the fanbase on things posted in this forum.

I gave my season tickets in 1984 and renewed them in 1996. I really liked the ownership change.

You were the guy who had season tickets in the last year the colts were in Baltimore?

[The Old Crow]

Yes. I was at the last game against the Oilers that year. I guess there weren't many season ticket holders left. The Elway trade killed what was left.

I confess I'm flat out shocked -- SHOCKED!! -- that the Cowboys and Eagles fans are considered....  stable?!?

 

Really?

 

Something tells me that study isn't worth the paper it's printed on.....

[deedub75]

Emory doesn't have anything worthwhile to study?

Thank god

[The Old Crow]

Thank god

Let's just say I'm not a " new era " Colts fan.

Here we go again. I gave mine up due to a job loss , been a diehard since Baltimore, you gonna call me a bandwagon fan since I'm wanting my ST back? You got a lot of nerve. How do we know you didn't just jump on the wagon when they got Manning and started winning.
