3. Green Bay Packers Fans
If you're looking to get season tickets for the Green Bay Packers, you'll end up in a waiting list so long you may die with plenty of names still ahead of you.
The Packers, with all their rich football history, have one of the biggest and best fan bases in all of sports. Even in a small town like Green Bay, fans come out in droves.
The most amazing thing is how the Packers always sell out, even if the weather outside is 10 degrees.
Last season, the Packers ranked first in the NFL with a 116.5 percent capacity, which is hard to even fathom.
Even with the retirement of town hero Brett Favre, Packers fans will continue to come out and support this team.
You know the fans are loyal when they are willing to pay yearly to be on a waiting list for season tickets they will most likely never receive.
2. Chicago Cubs Fans
The lovable losers in sports, Chicago Cubs fans have gone 100 years without a World Series title, and that stretch could go on a lot longer before the Cubs finally win one.
The fans, however, are some of, if not the, most loyal fans in sports.
Each year they come into opening day saying "this is our year," and, more often than not, it turns out that it isn't their year, after all.
Even with that, the Cubs have one of the best attendance figures in pro sports. In 2007, the Cubs finished second in the MLB with a 97.7 percent capacity.
That is amazing, especially given a large portion of Cubs home games are during the day—a work or school day, no less.
No Cubs fan can be accused of jumping on the bandwagon because they haven't won anything since the year the Ford Model-T was put on the market.
Keep being loyal, Cubs fans: One day a championship will come, and, when it does, the rest of the sports world will salute you all rather then hiss or boo.
1. Manchester United Fans
When one thinks of loyal fans, not many here in the United States even consider fans across the Atlantic, who are soccer hooligans.
But on this list, they get recognized.
With that said, the No. 1 sports fans right now, in my eyes, are fans of the Manchester United Football Club—or soccer team, for us Americans.
Manchester United fans travel in droves to matches seemingly eveywhere. A great example is yesterday's Champions League final in Moscow, which saw an absurd amount of Man U fans that were there.
Manchester United fans are so loyal, they would fight to the death, it seems, on behalf of their team.
Old Trafford remains a sports landmark, and is always filled to capacity when a Manchester United game is taking place.
Don't think Man U fans are the best? Don't say that to an actual Man U fan in England, or you could be in a world of trouble.
A great example is from the movie "Euro Trip," which shows a group of Man U fans on a bus arrive in Paris, spot a man in a France jersey, and then chase him through the streets.
To me, that is what a Manchester United fan is—and that is why they are the No. 1 fans in sports right now.
