Are Mets fans more ‘die-hard’ than Yankees fans? Well, I suppose they’ve had more to die over…
Click here to see more on this interesting study and its pretty chart.
The Mets lose more so, based on the formula, sure, they’re more die-hard because the formula rewards attendance relative to losses. Don’t know how that gets us an accurate measurement of fan loyalty but it definitely was a pretty map.
The graph is what I expected.
The Northeast fan base is rabid. The Astros have a surprisingly decent fanbase.
But honestly, do we expect anything less from the Boston, New York, Philadelphia “megapolis”?
Doesn’t surprise me. Think about it – if you identify as a Mets fan in this town, and during this era, you’re pretty hardcore. Being a Yankee fan, not so much.
