Panther games get more full than that and they just were getting good. Marlins suck and they have a decent crowd with the right team playing but night in night out ? Nah, Panther/Lightning games are dope, good rivalry no matter how much they suck. Kind of like Jets/Dolphins.

Why do florida sports teams in general have attendence problems?

If I had to guess it's because it isn't like these national sports were inherently part of the culture. Like yeah, Dolphins are the one exception as far as a true, storied history, but whenever a sport is popular in FL it's because of hype and success.

Most people down here are pathetic sports fans, just straight up fakkits. You also get a lot of transplants from NYC and wherever else, so as far as "true" born and raised fans of some of these teams, it's not like a huge thing.

THe amount of bandwagon fans down here is sickening. I remember back in 07-08 you'd have more Lakers jerseys than Heat jerseys at games (15 win season though :sadcam:)

Also a lot of these owners are just milking these teams to :eat: off the marketing and promise of the future while keeping shyt in a perpetual state of rebuilding. The Heat are the only true contending nationalized team in South Florida, and when you have big name players like Bron Bron and D-Wade you're gonna get shyt tons of people showing up.

When our teams win, people show up, when they don't, you get shyt like what you're seeing up above. People are just fakkits b :yeshrug:

If you lived in the actual city of Detroit, could you think of too many reasons to make the 30+(depending on where you coming from...45 for me) drive to watch the Pistons playing the Suns in below freezing weather?

shyt, if you live in ann arbor or belleville, would you want to drive prolly an hr on i94 to 275 to 696 to 96 or 75 or whatever the fukk maze of frozen highways you gotta take to get to the palace of bumblefukk michigan and watch that squad? :whoa: we good on that too fam

Do you get an award for being a good fanbase?

Why is this thread always made?

I don't understand why people care about attendance of games.
