Fan Support
The many traditions at Angel Stadium i.e. (Rally Monkey, Break out the red, the big A), and fan made sites such as Halos Heaven, Halo Space, Rally Monkey, Angels win, and Charlie’s Angels show the passion and support fans have for the Angels.
The Angels have drawn 3 million plus fans to the stadium for ten years straight, and at least 2 million for 28 seasons, and a game average in 2010 and 2011 of 40,000 fans at each game during, and after one of the teams worst losing seasons. In 2011, the Angels had the fifth best home attendance in Major League Baseball, averaging 39,090 fans per game.
In 2009, the Angels were voted the number one franchise in professional sports in Fan Value by ESPN magazine. In 2011, ESPN & Fan polls by ESPN ranked the Angels #4 in the best sports franchises in all of sports, ahead of every Major League team in baseball at #1 and also making it the #1 sports franchise in Los Angeles. The rankings were determined through a combination of sports analysts and fan votes ranking all sports franchises by a combination of average fan attendance, fan relations, "Bang for your Buck" or winning percentage over the past 3 years, ownership, affordability, stadium experience, players effort on the field and likability, coaching, and "Title Track".

Famous quotes containing the words fan and/or support:
“Being a [Chicago] Cubs fan prepares you for life—and Washington.”
—Hillary Rodham Clinton (b. 1947)
“I make this direct statement to the American people that there is far less chance of the United States getting into war, if we do all we can now to support the nations defending themselves against attack by the Axis than if we acquiesce in their defeat, submit tamely to an Axis victory, and wait our turn to be the object of attack in another war later on.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
