Steelers Fans Ranked Best!


When you have fans that wave Terrible Towels at the Olympics, take them with them to the top of mountain ranges, and wave them after saying “I Do,” then you know that you have a strong fan base.

Now, others are acknowledging it as well.

As a part of their 2008 NFL Preview ESPN.com ranked the NFL’s 32 teams fan bases. And the Steelers finished first.

ESPN’s divisional bloggers were asked to rank fans over the past five seasons, using criteria such as how well they travel, tailgating, loyalty during tough times and other topics.

The Steelers finished tied for first in the poll with the Green Bay Packers, but with a winner needing to be determined the Steelers were given the edge by ESPN.com’s football writer John Clayton cast the deciding vote.
