See where the Arizona Cardinals sit in the NFL fan base ranking
Nielsen, known for its measurement of TV ratings, has ranked each NFL fanbase based on metrics that include live attendance and TV viewership.
As the new NFL season approaches, Nielsen, a market research firm renowned for quantifying TV ratings, has ventured into assessing the fervor of NFL fan bases. Their evaluation is grounded in eight key indicators: apparel sales, stadium attendance, traditional TV viewership, streaming practices, radio engagement, betting intentions, online social activity, and overall interest levels.
It remains uncertain how Nielsen quantified the last three factors. Nielsen's assessment was conducted by geographic market rather than individual teams, resulting in a ranking that encompassed 30 markets. Predictably, the Arizona Cardinals' home market found itself positioned at 25th place in this list. However, the Cardinals' immediate division rivals fared even less favorably, ranking 26th through 30th.
This group comprised Tampa, San Francisco, Miami, Los Angeles, and New York. The markets that topped the rankings were primarily smaller cities hosting two or fewer "Big Four" sports teams. Buffalo claimed the number one position, succeeded by Kansas City, Pittsburgh, and Cincinnati. In the realm of major markets, Philadelphia emerged as the frontrunner, securing the fifth spot.
