For the Love of the Team
- Date Issued:
- 2017
- Summary:
- Professional sports is a large industry that reaches millions of Americans today. Those Americans are called fans- the ones that support the teams, fill the seats, and cheer them on from home. Occasionally these professional sports teams decide to relocate to another city, state, etc. Relocation has become increasingly prevalent in the past few seasons. This puts the dedicated fans in a difficult situation in which they can remain loyal to the city or the specific team itself. In order to analyze how someone would react to their favorite professional sports team being relocated, we developed a survey to addresses the underlying question of would your favorite team remain your favorite team even if they relocated. Our results found that the decision to remain a fan or switch to another team depends on gender and the level of education.
