The Angels have been ranked as the most fan-friendly baseball team for six straight years by an ESPN study.
Now, they’re the most fan-friendly team in all the major sports.
The Angels beat out 121 other teams in Major League Baseball, the NFL, NHL and NBA for the honor, announced by the cable network Wednesday.
The study uses fan surveys and quantitative research to rate franchises in eight categories: affordability, coaches, players, owners, fan relations, stadium experience, championships and “bang for the buck,” the ability to convert dollars into victories.
“This honor means a great deal to our organization because it was voted on by the fans,” Angels owner Arte Moreno said in a statement. “I am extremely proud of our staff for working day in and day out to provide what we call the ‘baseball experience.’
“Their focus is always on our fans, which would include providing courteous service, affordable pricing, and a clean environment. And, of course, the baseball people work hard to put a winning team on the field.”
The Lakers, coming off their 15th NBA championship, ranked No. 51 in the survey.
The Angels have won the American League West four times in five full seasons under Moreno. They have drawn at least 3.34 million fans every year.
The cost for a family of four to attend a game at Angel Stadium has ranked among the bottom six every year since 2005, according to Team Marketing Report.
The Dodgers ranked No. 50 in the survey. They were dragged down by below-average marks for affordability and fan experience. The Clippers ranked last.
