| Team | Fan happiness | Stadium Rating |
|---|---|---|
| Tennessee Titans | Bad | 10 |
| Buffalo Bills | Bad | 11 |
| Tampa Bay Buccaneers | Bad | 14 |
| Green Bay Packers | Bad | 20 |

Fan Happiness is an important factor when attempting to relocate teams to a different city. Their happiness is directly impacted by the Stadium Rating, as fans won’t hide their disappointment if the facility is dingy or outdated.
This is why it’s easier to relocate teams with a Stadium Rating below 20 as the fanbase will welcome the move with open arms. In contrast, you’ll see a decline in Fan Happiness while attempting to move away from a highly-rated stadium.
