yankees? red sox? fuhgettaboutem! who has the #1 fans?? the philadelphia phillies! according to the results of the 19th annual sports loyalty index survey which was released today, the fightin's have the most loyal fans in major league baseball.
as the president of the company who oversees the survey explains, "with the phillies, every game seems to count to the whole team. they seem to take it more personally." uh, yeah!! and so do the phans! david buck, senior vice president of marketing for the phillies, said, “the place is loud and the fans take it seriously. the fans are loving it and their support is enabling us to do the things we’re doing on the field.” one reason the place is so loud: the phillies sold 104% of their seats in 2010 (that's including standing room only). and 99% of seats for the 2011 season (which hasn't even started yet) are already sold.
i take pride in the fact that alanna and i are contributing significantly to that fan loyalty. we <3 our phillies!
here's even more philly pride: the philadelphia flyers are ranked #2 in loyalty for the national hockey league.
