2015 NE Sports Survey FINAL PDF

New England Sports Survey:
A Fan Opinion Poll

Conducted and Sponsored by
Channel Media & Market Research, Inc.
August/September 2015
Introduction:
Channel Media & Market Research, a leading data collection and market research
organization, conducted an independent study among residents of New England
about their opinions about the professional sports teams in the region (a similar
study was conducted in 2012, 2013 and 2014). The focus of this study was to
determine respondents opinions about issues related to the Boston Red Sox, New
England Patriots, Boston Bruins, Boston Celtics and New England Revolution.
Channel Media & Market Research wanted to examine what teams and players fans
admire, how they rate each organization, what they believe could be improved,
which sports radio and TV personalities and shows are their favorites and to poll the
fans on important issues related to these teams. More than 14,200 people
participated in this research and this is again one of the most extensive sports
surveys ever done in the New England region. This report contains the results of the
questions each survey participant answered and provides a unique look into what
the fans of New England really think about the teams they follow.
Note: As in previous years respondents do NOT answer detailed questions about

teams they do not follow at least half the time.

Methodology:
How the Study Was Conducted:
This study was executed between August 24, 2015 and August 30, 2015. The survey
was conducted online using independent list sources (none of which was associated
with any team, television and/or radio station and was NOT the same sample utilized in
previous surveys). Respondents were invited to participate in the survey via an email
invitation and each participant could only access the survey once.
In total, the average survey lasted 16 minutes. A drawing for a number of $250.00 Visa
gift cards were used to encourage response. The results for the 14,217 qualified
surveys are contained in this report.
All Respondents in This Study:
Were from one of the following states: CT, MA, ME, NH, RI, or VT
Followed at least one professional sports team at least HALF of the time
Were males/females over the age of 18 years (one per household only)
Completed the entire survey (partial surveys were eliminated from the results)
Note: Where applicable results from this survey are compared with previous years

A Note About Surveys:
A Note About Surveys:

Market research is utilized to collect data at a specific moment in time. It is a
realistic look at the opinions, comments and attitudes of a given population at the
time the survey is taken. When using market research it is important to note that it
is not an exact science and often is subject to respondents emotions at the time of
the survey or polling. Market research is an excellent tool for understanding how
specific groups of a population think and act and how changes/modifications made
based on their responses can affect their future behavior.
The base sizes of this survey make this research significant and this survey has a
margin of error of +/- 3% and confidence level of 98%.
