The Green Bay Packers are ESPN The Magazine's number one franchise in their Ultimate Standings.
Last year the Packers ranked ninth in the standings. Winning the Super Bowl, among other factors, propelled them to the top of the rankings. The list consists of 122 teams from the NFL, MLB, NBA, and NHL.
Fan feedback is the base for the eight major categories that help define what franchise deserves to be number one. Basically every category is based on how fans feel toward the team, players, management and their reactions. The categories include:
Bang for the buck (wins over the last three seasons per fan revenues), fan relations (team organization/players openness and loyalty toward fans), ownership, affordability (price for game day), stadium experience, players, coaching, and title track (championships already won or expected to be won).
The Packer's category rankings (from ESPN The Magazine):
Bang for the Buck: 4th
Fan Relations: 10th
Ownership: 5th
Affordability: 17th
Stadium Experience: 1st
Players: 5th
Coaching: 26th
Title Track: 1st
