And since I did the same thing in November 2009 I can now provide some growth percentages too. Louis Rams 40,847 154.45% 31 Oakland Raiders 23,075 -61.91% 32 New York Giants No official page N/A The Cowboys are dominating, which is interesting because in November 2009 they did not even have an official page (at least that I could find).
