In considering a noteworthy fact for the concluding day on the countdown series, we could mention several kickers who have represented the Dallas Cowboys, or perhaps punter Matt McBriar.

Throughout the duration of the countdown series, numerous insightful fans have engaged by commenting, messaging, and sharing facts related to the countdown. This serves as a clear and compelling illustration of the strength of the fan base. The enthusiasm, knowledge, and affection that fans possess for the Dallas Cowboys were vividly demonstrated during the 100-day countdown, a level of devotion unrivaled.

Each year, as noted in the article on Day 15, AT&T Stadium, the home ground of the Cowboys, sets the record for the highest attendance at a regular season home game in NFL history. Furthermore, the stadium has maintained the highest average attendance over the past 15 seasons, which is a remarkable achievement.

In terms of television viewership, the Dallas Cowboys consistently lead in ratings for NFL games, as well as overall television ratings. From Wild Card weekend through Week 1, Dallas was the most viewed game of the week on nine occasions and ranked as the second-most viewed five additional times.

The most significant indication of Dallas having the most dedicated and widely followed fan base is the manner in which mainstream media capitalizes on this phenomenon. Frequently, NFL fans find themselves bewildered by certain points or narratives presented by media figures. The rationale behind this strategy employed by mainstream media personalities is straightforward; they are aware that they will garner the highest engagement and clicks, given the extensive and fervent following of the Cowboys.

Other NFL fan bases often highlight that the Cowboys have not participated in a Super Bowl or NFC Championship game since the mid-1990s. Despite enduring numerous years of challenges, disappointment, and steadfast perseverance, the Cowboys’ fan base remains the largest, most resilient, and most cohesive among all NFL supporters, even in the absence of a Lombardi trophy for nearly three decades.

As the regular season commences, we extend our gratitude to all who have participated by commenting or messaging us throughout the countdown series. We dedicate this final day to the passionate Cowboys fans worldwide and to the dedicated BTB readers who have engaged with us during the offseason and will continue to support us throughout the regular season. Enjoy the 2024 season, and never forget:
