GREEN BAY – A recent survey of NFL cities ranks Green Bay in the top 10 of “Best Cities to Visit for NFL Gameday.”
“We ranked all cities that have an NFL and/or NHL team, based on how good they are for their fan experience. To do this different factors were used, which were then normalized and scored. The locations were then ranked from highest to lowest, based on their total scores. For any cities that had multiple NFL teams, an average of the teams score was used,” Betway said.
The method for determining the rankings figured in stadium capacity — the maximum number of supporters each stadium can hold; stadium rating — the average Google review rating for the stadium of each city’s NHL team, out of five; Super Bowl wins — the number of times each city’s NFL team has won the Super Bowl; performance level — the win percentage of each city’s NFL team using data from 2020-23, including the regular season and playoffs; cost of ticket (NFL data only) — the average ticket price (USD) for one game of each city’s NFL team as per the fan cost index; cost of hotel — the average cost of a hotel in each city from Oct-Jan 2024; and total fan engagement – the number of followers each city’s NFL team has on Instagram and Twitter.*
Green Bay fell in the No. 7 spot, behind Arlington — Dallas Cowboys; Pittsburgh —Steelers; Kansas City — Chiefs; Foxborough — New England Patriots; East Rutherford — Jets and Giants; and Baltimore — Ravens.
The ratings showed the No. 1-ranked Arlington with a 80,000 capacity, five Super Bowl wins, 58.5% performance level, ticket cost of $116.69, hotel cost of $230 and fan engagement of 9,246,923.
Green Bay displayed an 81,441 seat capacity, four Super Bowl wins, 66% performance level, ticket cost of $141.48, hotel cost of $391 and fan engagement of 5,262,679.
