Survey Reveals Americans’ Football Obsession Runs Deep
As football season kicks off, a new survey confirms that Americans’ love for the sport is as intense as ever. Their obsession with the game affects everything from their schedules to spending, and even their productivity on the job, but rising prices and streaming challenges are making it tougher and more expensive to watch.
According to the Savanta survey of 1,000 U.S. adults:
- Some folks plan their lives around football, including 71% of Americans who admit to skipping, rescheduling, or turning down plans in order to watch a football game.
- Even when a game isn’t on, half of those with full-time jobs say football affects their productivity at work.
- Four in 10 (41%) now mainly watch football on streaming services, but 56% are frustrated by NFL games being exclusive to certain streaming platforms.
- More than half (55%) spend less than $250 a season on football-related expenses, like tickets, merch, streaming, food, travel, and fantasy leagues. Another 27% spend $500 or more and 14% splurge on at least $1,000 per season.
- That’s nothing compared to the 7% who spend over $25-hundred and the 3% who shell out more than $5-thousand a season on football.
- But not everyone is happy about the costs, as 64% say NFL games aren’t affordable anymore.
- More than two-thirds (69%) say they’re now cutting back on attending games because of rising ticket, travel, and concession costs.
- Lots of fans enjoy both pro and college football, but 60% say they prefer the NFL and only 20% prefer college games.
- When it comes to safety, 36% believe the NFL has made some major safety improvements, but 11% still say the sport is too dangerous.
- And only a third (34%) would encourage their kids to play football.
