We could take lessons from them, before proclaiming we are the best and most loyal fans on the planet. Sadly, the proof is in the pudding that the Steeler fans are more loyal to their team...and that's truly sad folks. The irrefutable truth is that Steeler fans produce the numbers in the seats while we have a neverending list of why we can't sell our own stadium out, from it's way more comfy at home to we were really bad in the 90's so they gotta win a playoff game before I'll go watch them; it's sad really.
It is very simple so I will explain it to you, teams that have long history of winning have more fans all over the country than teams who have a history of losing. Green Bay and the Steelers are the two teams with the most championships in the NFL. Now teams like Tampa, Jags, Titans and us don't have any so we did not get the extra fan bump of those band wagon jumpers. Green Bay also draws from a larger area than you are representing as Milwaukee is close by as are other midwest northern cities that spilt between Vikes, Bears and Packers.
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
