本研究旨在探討於臺中洲際棒球場觀賞賽事之中信兄弟球迷,在中華職棒28年例行賽中對於球隊認同、地方依附與行為意圖之關係,總計問卷發放400份,回收問卷400份,有效問卷為398份,有效問卷回收率為99.5%。 研究結果顯示,受訪者以女性居多、年齡分佈以30歲以下之年輕族群為主、未婚比例較高、學歷大多落在大專院校、職業以學生與服務業為主、收入以22,000元以下最高。球迷對於中信兄弟之球隊認同為高程度,地方依附、行為意圖為中上程度。迴歸分析顯示,球隊認同、地方依附對行為意圖皆有顯著正向影響,其中以球隊認同影響程度最高。由多變量變異數分析結果顯示,球迷之基本特性在球隊認同、地方依附與行為意圖上皆有部分顯著差異。 根據結果,建議球團透過行銷宣傳將球團形象更廣為滲入於球迷與非球迷之身心生活,以提升對球隊之認知與認同。依據球迷需求,改造臺中洲際棒球場,並設計主打臺中洲際棒球場之活動,增加球迷與臺中洲際棒球場互動,使球迷對球場之依附感油然而生。藉此將球迷、中信兄弟與臺中洲際棒球場三者之間的情感做更緊密的連結,以增加球迷之消費意願。
