From what I hear, attendance in the Southern states is no where near as loyal when the team is loosing. Of course when you have teams in the playoffs it gets popular, but regular season, I'm pretty sure you can get tickets. On topic: Football (soccer) is not in North America's blood and culture. | In Texas at least it has always been pretty popular, even when the Stars are losing. You can pretty much always get tickets but that's true for most sports save for the big games. |
They imported hockey enthusiasm from Minnesota along with the hockey team itself. It was a package deal.
