Bizjournals.com has released an interesting study which ranks the Bucs 23rd in terms of fan loyalty. If I can find a hole in the study they seem to give a lot of weight to cold weather teams. The only warm weather team which even cracks the top ten is Dallas. After all, is it really the Bucs fault that the citizens of Tampa Bay can go to Clearwater Beach, Busch Gardens or Mons Venus instead of the game?
And a big thanks to Tommy at Sticks of Fire for the heads up.

I'm buying Bucs gear in a hostile environment (D.C.) I feel pretty loyal.
Also, those assholes never sat through a one o'clock game in Tampa Stadium in September. People would get heat stroke watching the Bucs lose to Detroit.
If that isn't loyalty, I don't know what is.
i hear ya on being behind enemy lines sarah, skins fans are a thick-headed and thin-skinned crowd.
john's right, there's a strong northeastern (liberal?) bias to this study and it almost works against the Bucs that they play in a warm weather stadium.
