Which city has the worst sports fanbase and why?

Question

I live in the Tampa/St.Pete area and can tell you these fans are the worst. They are unknowledgeable, obnoxious and unloyal. Whether it be football, hockey or now baseball, these fans are only interested when the hometown team is actually in the playoffs. And even then, they struggle to sell out their venue's. (ie... Bucs vs. Giants Playoffs January 2008)They use sporting events for get-togethers whereas REAL sport towns have get-togethers for sporting events. (yes there is a difference) These so-called fans are extremely unappreciative and definitely undeserving of the SuperBowl and Stanely Cup Championships they have won.

Answer 1

It really depends on your definition of "worst". If worst means the rudest and most obnoxious, it's probably Philadelphia. But their fans are loyal, and in many cases pretty knowledgable...they're just jackasses. If worst means the least knowledgable and mostly bandwagoners, I personally feel it's Boston. The Patriots had awful attendance up until the last few years when they became a good team. The Celtics, despite being one of the most prestigious franchises in all of sports, had terrible attendance for years up until the most recent season. The Red Sox had good attendance but their fans made so many ridiculous excuses to why they weren't winning. Boston fans deny history and abandon their teams when their not performing well.

Answer 2

Tampa is such a transplant town, though.  You have so many people coming from New York, Ohio, & Michigan that already have their own favorite teams.  How many people do you know in Tampa who are supporting the team because that's the team their dad and grandpa liked?

any town that has a lot of transplants is not going to have the best fan base.  i.e. tampa
