Business First, a Buffalo-based business journal, released
the results of a study that gauged NFL Fan Support for the last
ten years.  Support factors (high average attendance, high percent
of capacity, low attendance fluctuation) accounted for two-thirds
of a team's score; difficulty factors (low winning percentage, a
large number of seats per 100,000 population, high ticket cost per
$10,000, chilly December temperature) accounted for one-third of a
team's score.  Denver's top score of 100 is the benchmark for the
other teams' ratings.  ATTEND FLUX = Difference between best/worst
annual attendance totals.  WIN % = Team's winning poercentage from
'85-94.  SEATS/100K = Stadium seats per every 100,000 metro
residents.  $/10K = Ratio of '94 average ticket price to every
$10K of local per capita income.  DEC. TEMP = The 30-year average
high temperature for December.
