![]() ![]() My only complaint with Pittsburgh Steelers fans: They are possibly the most annoying fan base in the entire world. ESPN described them as “maybe the most fun group of fans in the entire league.” Raiders fans dress up in ridiculous costumes for all of their home games. One lifetime Raider fan, asked to describe “Raider Nation," responded with, “The massive Raider Nation is beyond doubt the sleaziest and rudest and most sinister mob of thugs and wackos ever assembled.” Sitting in the Black Hole is not a safe place for an opposing fan. “Raider Nation” is one of the rowdiest fan bases in the history of the NFL, particularly the Black Hole section of the Oakland Coliseum. They've been to the Super Bowl five times, and they have won 15 division titles. They won the Super Bowl three times: 1976, 1980, and 1983. Younger fans don't realize the history of winning that is associated with the Oakland Raiders. The 2006 Raiders team is frequently considered one of the worst teams in NFL history. Since going to the Super Bowl after the 2002 season, they have become the only NFL team to lose at least 11 games for six straight seasons. They have suffered through one of the most pathetic recent strings of losing in the NFL, maybe in all of professional sports. ![]() I admire them more than any other fan base, with the possible exception of the Cleveland Browns. The Chiefs are often referred to as the " Green Bay of the AFC," which, as you'll see, is a huge compliment. The Chiefs are also famous for their barbecue, easily the best in the NFL. How could anyone not admire a Chiefs fan? Their stadium is frequently referred to as the loudest stadium in the entire NFL. The Chiefs have sold out almost 150 consecutive home games. But their fans still show up and turn the stadium red. They haven't won a playoff game since 1993, despite three home games (1995, 1997, 2003). It's simple: Kansas City is the sixth smallest market in the National Football League, yet they have had the second highest attendance over the past decade. Matt Mosley of ESPN called Texas Stadium “one of the safest places in the league to wear an opposing jersey.” Many are bandwagon jumpers from the dynasty in the early 90's who have now transformed into 'diehards.'.The only knocks against Cowboys' fans are as follows: The Dallas Cowboys' star has become a thing of legend. The Cowboys have fans in every city across the United States and no conversation with a Cowboys fan is complete without the phrases “five rings,” and “America's Team.” The reference “America's Team” may be debatable, but the Cowboys are the definition of a love 'em or hate 'em team. There are more Dallas Cowboys writers than any other team on Bleacher Report. Trust me, I wanted to, but it just wouldn't be right. There's no way I could leave Dallas Cowboys fans out of my top 10. Their patience is well-known and admired throughout the NFL, which has come in handy with the recent string of head coaches. ![]() Their stadium is located 45 minutes away from anything resembling civilization, but fans still flock the stadium. Their fans were voted the 10th most loyal fans in the National Football League. They also have a season-ticket waiting list of 200,000, which is the largest waiting list in the NFL. This is the longest streak in the entire NFL. They have sold out 327 consecutive games, dating back to the 1960s. Fans have filled the stadium to capacity in six of the past eight seasons, sporting their trademark feathers and face paint. The Washington Redskins ranked second in attendance during the 2008 season, despite finishing in last place in the NFC East. They also routinely deal with -10 degree weather on game days. Bills' fans are famous for their tailgating, with parties frequently lasting the entire weekend leading up to a game. Give the fans more credit for showing up, considering the Bills' home-field situation-they are the only NFL team to have two home sites, one in New York, and the other in Canada. That's pretty impressive for a franchise that has suffered through four consecutive Super Bowl losses, the Music City Miracle, and zero Super Bowl wins in its history. Last season, the Bills possessed the most season-ticket holders since the team went to the Super Bowl following the 1993 season. The Bills haven't fielded a playoff team since the 1999 season but that doesn't stop the fans from showing up to games. ![]()
