2. Kansas City Chiefs

NFL's Top 10 Fan Bases

Kansas City may be the sixth-smallest market, but they've had the second-highest attendance average over the last decade. Also known for having the best food at a tailgate, KC will blow your doors off with its BBQ. Arrowhead is widely regarded as the loudest stadium in the league and that is directly attributed to its fans. What's even more amazing is that Kansas City hasn't won a playoff game since 1993 and their last Super Bowl was the same year as Woodstock. -- FOXSports (AP Photo/Tom Gannam)

10. Dallas Cowbo... This fan base, which was really a bunch of bandwagon jumpers during the Aikman-Irvin-Emmitt dynasty, transformed into diehards. With fans in every city, "America's Team" has become wildly popular. Simple folks flock to the star and seem to be enamored with it, but the rules about cheering for a team you have no connection with is still a violation. -- FOXSports (AP Photo/L.M. Otero)
9. Chicago Bears Where else can you not put any kind of offensive threat on the field for 20-some years and still have a packed stadium every season? Bears fans come out regardless of the terrible management keeps rolling out players such as Grossman, Orton, Griese, Benson, Salaam, Enis, etc. -- FOXSports (AP Photo/Charles Rex Arbogast)
8. Buffalo Bills After all the heartbreak from four straight Super Bowl losses and the rebuilding years since, Bills' fans pack in every Sunday, usually in -10 degree weather to root on their team. Yes, you can argue they are on this list out of pure boredom — what else is there to do in Buffalo? — but people in Atlanta, Miami, and Arizona don't show up in perfect weather so the loyalty of a Bills fan can never be questioned. -- FOXSports (AP Photo/David Duprey)
7. Denver Bronco... Always in the top five for attendance, especially with the hazardous weather Mile High has to offer, Broncos fans also do quite a bit of traveling to see their team. I've attended Broncos' away games that are one-third filled by Denver fans. That being said, they do have the dumbest "fan participation" since "The Wave." Whenever the opposing QB throws an incompletion, the crowd stands up and screams at the top of their lungs, "IN-COM-PLETE." After about the fifth time you hear it, you start to question Denver's football IQ. Are they doing it because some of the fans are a little slow, or are they trying to annoy the other team's QB by razzing him with the dumbest response ever invented? -- FOXSports (AP Photo/David Zalubowski)
6. Pittsburgh St... The "Stillers" fans are a very annoying bunch. If you ever encounter one and the subject of football comes up, all you'll hear about is how many rings they have. Whatever your argument is, they will counter with that. That being said, they have Heinz Field and sports bars around the country rocking on Sundays. They're very passionate about their football and it's completely understandable. Before Sidney Crosby, what else have they had to root for? -- FOXSports (AP Photo/Gene J. Puskar)
5. Green Bay Pac... I'm sure John Madden is coughing up a bratwurst after reading how low on the list they are, but before Lord Favre, did you ever hear about them? But Green Bay is one of the few places where players actually have interaction with the fans. The Lambeau Leap, although played out, is still pretty cool and no one else's fans have anything like it. Their dedication during subzero temperatures is second to none and the waiting list for season tickets is insane. -- FOXSports (AP Photo/David Zalubowski)
4. Cleveland Bro... How can you not have complete respect for Browns fans? They have every reason to go the way of a Falcons fan, but their loyalty to the Browns has no rival. Art Modell ripped their team out from under them and as soon as the expansion team showed up, the Dog Pound was back in full effect. The Pound was firing on all cylinders last season as the team seemed to turn the corner and if the team ever does get over the hump, the city of Cleveland had better watch out! -- FOXSports (AP Photo/Bill Kostroun)
3. Oakland Raide... Raiders fans still don't understand that it's beyond lame to dress up for Halloween every Sunday. They still don't know the rest of the league laughs at them and not with them. Dressed more for a Star Trek convention than a football game, Raiders fans have fallen on tough times with moronic ownership and season-ticket holders like Kevin Federline being the faces of The Nation. That being said, sitting in The Black Hole is not safe — and that's coming from an Eagles fan. It's hard to put your finger on whether Raiders fans love their team or if they just have a hatred for yours. At any rate, they are the only fans in the league that Eagles fans actually respect, so that's saying something. -- FOXSports (AP Photo/Dino Vournas)

1. Philadelphia ... Some might call this biased, but the most passionate fans in all of sports are without question Philadelphia Eagles fans. They're cold-blooded and probably give KC a run for their money as being the loudest. They are by far the most knowledgeable fans in the league, and invented the perfect "boo." What cemented Philadelphia fans' reputation as the most amoral, loathsome collection in sports is famously called The Booing of Santa Claus. You would boo and throw snow balls too if Santa came out drunk in a half-done costume. The Eagles haven't hoisted a championship flag in 48 years, but the waiting list for season tickets is so long that you could sell out three stadiums full of Eagles fans for games. -- FOXSports (AP Photo/Joseph Kaczmarek)
