If someone posted this already sorry, I havent been on as much and might have missed it.
The Green Bay Packers rank ninth out of 122 U.S. major-league sports franchises in the latest annual “Ultimate Standings” report by ESPN the magazine
The rankings are intended to “measure how much MLB, NBA, NFL and NHL franchises give back to the fans in exchange for all the time, money and emotion the fans invest in them,” ESPN says. Major-league baseball, basketball, football and hockey teams are listed.
ESPN The Magazine based its rankings of 122 teams on fan surveys, financial analyses of each team, win-loss statistics and other data.
The report assesses teams on a variety of factors, including:
As for other Wisconsin teams, the Milwaukee Brewers ranked 31st overall, rating highest in affordability (second) but low in coaching (83rd) and title track (89th). The Milwaukee Bucks ranked 69th with its best showing in coaching (30th) and worst in stadium experience (108th).
The New Orleans Saints of the National Football League — winners of this year’s Super Bowl — took top spot on the ESPN list, followed by the Orlando Magic of the National Basketball Association (ranked No. 1 for “bang for the buck”), baseball’s Los Angeles Angels (No. 1 for both affordability and coaching), football’s Indianapolis Colts and hockey’s Pittsburgh Penguins (No. 1 for fan relations).
At the very bottom are basketball’s Los Angeles Clippers, hockey’s Toronto Maple Leafs and basketball’s Washington Wizards.

Im okay with the colts being higher and cant rip that since I havent been to a game there to judge everything. But I find it odd they make the saints #1 with a year after they missed the playoffs. I would be more open to a more consistent team I think.
