Yes. My estimate has always been 5-10%. Maybe it's the people I know but we're measuring "avid" sports fans. Attending games (when we could), buying subscriptions or magazines, listening to radio and watching games, buying merchandise, joining a hokey forum, even gambling.

What's an average national Saturday night game get? 2 million viewers on average? And that's the whole country.
