After some deliberations, I have done some final adjustments on the Fan (Interest and) Loyalty rating(s). Since there really is no magic formula to establish fan loyalty, I have decided to base it on perception, which would be mine. I attempted to balance the range by giving a GREAT rating to one (1) team in each league, a Very Good rating to one (1) team in each league, a Good rating to two (2) teams in each league and the rest being Average with the exception of the two (2) teams in the AL that will be moving shortly, due to poor fan loyalty???, which were assigned Fair.
I utilized the 5 seasons worth of stadium information and corresponding % of capacity filled to established a modified Fan Interest rating. Some teams were bumped over 65 to 70 and 75 and others were dropped from 65 to 60, 55 and 50, depending on how poorly their home games were attended.
FYI, Fan Interest and Loyalty ratings can change over time; at the beginning of each season, each team must have minimum settings of 25 Fan Interest and "Fair" Fan Loyalty ratings.

Next up: TV Broadcasting, Merchandise Revenue ... and then stadiums (I already established the capacity as of 1953) and weather databases as I had already indicated.
