As said, pro teams in Florida have tended to have poor attendance. But I think that has less to do with the state being capable to support those teams as it does there's a lot of other variables in Florida which makes it kind of a bad example of a state who can't support both.


yea I'm not discounting what you said about the migration factor, it's just not an all or nothing event either though. One of the first pro expansions, the Tampa Bucs, had some good early success and since then expansions in all 4 major pro sports have been attempted with out a lot of success for the most part. Hell the Marlins could barely draw a decent crowd back when they were winning their azz off.

I also understand the "limited funds" theory, you may not be able to spend what you want on being a fan, but that really doesn't stop you from being a fan if that's what you want. So yea, if a season ticket holder at Busch has to set on the hill at Faurot, then that's what they will do.
