Description
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.
