Philly is one of the worse cities, I mean if you win they love you that week; but if you lose they are calling for your head ...

LA isn't the best sports city, it's not nearly as bad as crappy sports towns like Miami and Atlanta.
I wouldn't compare it to more traditional northeast cities and Chicago which are strong sports towns but LA isn't a crappy sports city either.
suprisingly the Kings have a good fanbase and attendance is good at Kings games. i'm impressed for the fact that they've been mediocre for so long and with the exception of the Gretzky years haven't done anything of relevance.
the Clippers got a decent fanbase and have had actual fans despite being a joke and constantly in the Lakers shadow the majority of their time here.
the Dodgers have broken attendance records and win or lose the fans show up at Chavez Ravine
the Lakers have a huge following out here, the die hard fans tend to be priced out of the lower sections at staples which gives an inaccurate portrayal of Laker fans imo.
all in all LA is a decent sports city, not on the level of more traditional east coast cities but is decent in its own right.

green bay is not a good sports city. it's a good football city because of it's tradition and other factors. since it's a small city and there's not much option, so football is the core. not all of the people you see at the game at lambeau are from green bay. many people are from small towns from around the area, and there is a lot of people coming from milwaukee. green bay is not a sports city like chicago, where they have many options and not just football. there's NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, etc in chicago and people love their sports. i've lived in green bay, the twin cities, and chicago...green bay is the worst sports city out of those three. if it's just football wise and not sports (variety of options), it's up there with any city.

You forgot about the Galaxy (like anyone cares
Strong following from a ot of Hispanic population
and the average attendance is around 19-22 thousand in a 27000 seat stadium
Not that bad compared to other cities like KC, Columbus, Dallas

No DETROIT mentions?
y'all real foolish for that one..
Tigers- Always had a solid fanbase but it has grown even larger now that they are back good again. One of the most storied franchises in baseball.
Lions- FINALLY getting back right, but the lions had a solid fanbase waiting for them to get back good. If not for the conditions of the auto industry in MI the last couple yrs, the Lions still may have had solid attendance in their sucky seasons. Although the amount of home games blacked out on TV during my childhood led me to being a Packers fan
I must say I was really happy for them in making the playoffs last year, Michigan needed that.
Red Wings- One of the best franchises in spirts. period. No question.
Pistons- Fell off as of late but lets not forget that sick sellout streak they had during the "Its time to go to work" days (Chauncey, Sheed, Ben, Tayshaun, Rip) They still have a solid following although I stopped when they traded Chauncey smh

DC and Baltimore are different planets sports wise. Baltimore fans are pretty die hard with the Ravens. Orioles fans exist but they have been so bad lately not many people care. There are still a lot of O's fans though
DC fans are only really passionate about the Caps. I feel like there are just as many Boys fans as Skins fans in the whole area. the Nationals need to make some noise because its funny going to a game and seeing more Philly/Mets fans in the stadiums

^ Thank God you left Cleveland out, because I merely consider us "Midwest" contrary to popular opinion.

I don't know about Baltimore, that city has NOTHING to do with The DC Area. NOTHING at all.
Caps: Good Following
Wizards: Bums, but if they win good following. We aren't GSW type of fans.
********: Excellent Following
Nats: Bums, 5000 empty seats every game. New waste of $ stadium at that
United: I don't know

if they end up doing promotions again where dominguez students get free tickets i'll hit you up, you could have whatever tickets they would give me as i doubt i'll make it to a game there anytime soon.

Sound like another person just heard some stuff on Espn and ran with it. I would love to know where fans are stupid enough to be happy with a losing product and say nothing at all? That being said obviously bump the Eagles

Baltimore, die hard football fans here. It may be because the only team we have is an NFL team, I know we have the Orioles but can we really consider them a professional team. I hope that one day they bring an NBA team back to the city, but doubt that with the Bullets being so close in DC and they aren't necessarily making the argument for us to get our own team.
