Top 10 Cities with the Worst Sports Fans

1. Philadelphia

   

   Philadelphia is the largest city in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and ranks as the sixth most populous city in the United States. As of 2016, it had an estimated population of 1,567,872, and its metropolitan area was home to more than 6.3 million people. Located along the lower Delaware and Schuylkill... read more

   Not to mention that Flyers fans threw bracelets onto the ice when they were losing in the playoffs. The bracelets were supposed to be for honoring Ed Snider, the Flyers owner who passed away.

   Philly fans only support their team if they're winning. If they are losing, they start booing their own team. They even booed Santa Claus! They are also classless and drunk. Come on, Philly, keep it classy.

   These fans just suck. They get drunk, wild, and can be vicious at times.

2. Chicago

   

   Chicago, officially the City of Chicago, is the third-most populous city in the United States. With over 2.7 million residents, it is the most populous city in both Illinois and the Midwestern United States. It is considered one of the most important business centers in the world.... read more

   In 2007, the Blackhawks were 29th in the league in attendance. Players even had to go on the streets and give out free tickets. But then they became good and suddenly had the largest attendance in the league. Bears fans also called Jay Cutler a quitter when he left with a serious injury in the 2010 NFC Championship. However, Cubs, Bulls, and White Sox fans are fine.

   Chicagoans surprisingly don't have a lot of pride in their city, so they turn to sports.

   Arrogant idiots who are fair-weather fans. It's obnoxious.

3. New York

   

   The City of New York, commonly known as New York City or simply New York, is the most populous city in the United States. It is also the most densely populated major city in the country. Located in the state of New York, it is a global hub for finance, culture, and media.

   Yankees fans are so spoiled, they go on strike when they don't win or go to a World Series. The Islanders almost relocated because of poor attendance, and Jets fans are way too critical.

4. Boston

   

   Boston is the capital and largest city of Massachusetts. Founded in 1630 by Puritan settlers from England, it is one of the oldest cities in the United States. The city played a vital role in American history, including events such as the Boston Tea Party and the Battle of Bunker Hill. Today, Boston... read more

   Their fan base is okay. However, Bruins fans called Joel Ward racial slurs after he scored the goal to eliminate Boston in the 2012 Eastern Conference Quarterfinals. They did the same with P.K. Subban two years later and threw garbage at him. Patriots fans will hate you forever if you think Tom Brady isn't the messiah (not an exaggeration), and they also won't admit they weren't there before Brady.

   The accent, the aggressive driving, and behavior all translate into sports.

5. Detroit

   

   Detroit is the largest and most populous city in the U.S. state of Michigan. Located on the Detroit River, it lies directly across from Windsor, Ontario, Canada. As of 2020, Detroit had a population of approximately 639,111.

   The Lions always have below-average attendance, and Pistons and Tigers fans only seem to show up during the playoffs. However, the Red Wings sell out all the time. Why? Because they've been the most dominant team for the past 25 years.

6. Oakland

   

   Oakland is the largest city and the county seat of Alameda County, California, United States. It serves as a major port on the West Coast and is the most populous city in the East Bay region of the San Francisco Bay Area. Oakland ranks as the third largest city in the Bay Area, the eighth most populous... read more

   Raiders fans are way too passionate. Great fans, but they need to tone it down. The Athletics always have poor attendance, and the Warriors fans only seem to show up when they're winning. Additionally, the Athletics and Raiders are on the verge of relocating.

   Oakland is a rougher suburb of San Francisco. I don't know if they have major sports. I'm not really a sports person (I'm sadly from San Jose).

7. Dallas

   

   I don't think that the Mavericks or Rangers have bad fanbases, but the Stars fans only show up when they're good. And why do the Cowboys get to be America's Team? Every other NFL team is in America.

   I'm going to put Mavericks fans to the side since there is nothing wrong with them. However, the Stars have trouble filling up seats, and Cowboys fans are mouthy!

   The Mavs and Rangers fans are fine. The Stars fans have trouble filling up seats even when they have good players, and most Cowboys fans are bandwagoners.

8. Cleveland

   

   Cleveland is a major city in the U.S. state of Ohio and serves as the county seat of Cuyahoga County. It is located on the southern shore of Lake Erie and is part of the Great Lakes region. Cleveland is known for its cultural institutions, such as the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Cleveland Museum... read more

   I kind of feel sorry for Cleveland. The Browns have never won a Super Bowl, the Cavaliers never won an NBA championship, and the Indians haven't won the World Series since 1948. But that doesn't mean you should wear paper bags over your head. It doesn't mean the Indians have to play in empty ballparks. Cavs fans only show up when they're winning.

9. Los Angeles

   

   Los Angeles, officially the City of Los Angeles and often abbreviated as L.A., is the largest city in California. It has an estimated population of nearly 4 million and is the second-largest city in the United States after New York City. It is also the third-largest in North America after Mexico City... read more

   It's all about the Kobe Bryant era for Lakers fans. Kings fans only started showing up when they were good. Clippers, Dodgers, and Rams fans are fine, though.

10. Montreal

    

    Montreal is the most populous municipality in the Canadian province of Quebec and the second-most populous in the country. It was originally known as Ville-Marie and takes its name from Mount Royal, a three-peaked hill located in the city center.... read more

It is known for landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz Island, and its historic cable car system. The city has a diverse population and is a major hub... read more

    The 49ers and Giants have great fans. However, they're only on this list because a Giants fan killed a Dodgers fan after a game.

The Contenders

13. Miami

    

    Miami, officially known as the City of Miami, is the cultural, economic, and financial center of South Florida. It is the county seat of Miami-Dade County, which is the most populous county in Florida. The city is a major hub for international trade, tourism, and finance.

    The Marlins always play in empty ballparks. The Dolphins have low attendance. However, the Heat seem to sell out. Why? Because they had James, Bosh, and Wade.

    Why is there an NHL team here? I know it's in Sunrise, but I'm going to include the Panthers because Sunrise is in the Miami area. The Panthers get like no fans, the arenas are literally empty most of the time.

14. Pittsburgh

    

    Pittsburgh is a city in the western part of the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. It is the second most populous city in the state, following Philadelphia. Pittsburgh is known for its rich industrial history, vibrant cultural scene, and numerous bridges.

    Fair-weather fans are all I will say. The Penguins almost relocated to Las Vegas because of poor attendance, but then they became good and started selling out. Pirates fans are fine. Steelers fans always invade other stadiums.

15. Buffalo

    

    Buffalo is the second-largest city in the U.S. state of New York and the largest city in Western New York. It is located on the eastern shore of Lake Erie and at the head of the Niagara River. Buffalo is known for its historic architecture, cultural institutions, and as the birthplace of Buffalo wings... read more

    Vancouver is a coastal seaport city in western Canada, located in the Lower Mainland region of British Columbia. It is one of the most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities in the country. Vancouver is a popular filming location and was the host city of the 2010 Winter Olympics.

    The only team Vancouver has is the Canucks. However, their fans always start a riot and burn cars whenever the Canucks don't win the Stanley Cup.

17. Kansas City

18. Jacksonville

    

    Jacksonville only has one pro sports team, the Jaguars. However, they always have poor attendance. It wasn't like that when they were good.

19. Atlanta

    

    Atlanta is the capital and most populous city in the U.S. state of Georgia. As of the 2020 census, the city had a population of approximately 498,715, making it the 38th most populous city in the United States. Atlanta is also a major transportation hub, home to the busiest airport in the world, Hartsfield... read more

    The Braves always play in empty ballparks. The Thrashers had to relocate because nobody showed up to their games. However, the Hawks sell out every home game, and the Falcons have good attendance.

20. Washington D.C.

    Redskins fans are fine. However, the Capitals always played in empty arenas until 2005 when they drafted Alexander Ovechkin. The Nationals are somewhat at the bottom in attendance. And the Wizards, well, they come and go.

21. Seattle

    

    Seattle is a seaport city on the west coast of the United States. It is the seat of King County, Washington. The city is known for its tech industry, including companies like Amazon and Microsoft, and for landmarks such as the Space Needle and Pike Place Market.

    Seahawks fans are too passionate. The SuperSonics had to move because of poor attendance. The Mariners also have low attendance.

22. Ponce

23. Toronto

    

    Toronto is the most populous city in Canada, the provincial capital of Ontario, and the core of the Greater Toronto Area, the country's most populous metropolitan region. It is an international hub for business, finance, arts, and culture. Toronto is also recognized as one of the most multicultural and... read more

    Though the Maple Leafs sell out every home game, the Raptors and Blue Jays only show up in the playoffs. Maple Leafs fans are known for throwing waffles and T-shirts onto the ice.

    When it comes to sports, Toronto sports fans are just terrible.

24. Denver

    

    Denver, officially the City and County of Denver, is the capital and most populous municipality of the U.S. state of Colorado. The city serves as the economic and cultural center of the Denver metropolitan area. Denver was founded in 1858 and was incorporated on November 7, 1861.

    When Broncos fans tipped over a portable toilet with a Patriots fan inside, that was too much. The Avalanche fans started to disappear when they fell out of the NHL elite. Rockies fans are fine, but the Nuggets always play in empty arenas.

25. Baltimore

    Though the Ravens and Orioles have great fans, they still seem to be a tad too passionate.

26. Cincinnati

    The Bengals fans began cheering and throwing things at Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger when he was carted off the field due to injury.

    Charlotte is the most populous city in North Carolina. It serves as a major U.S. financial hub and is the home of the Bank of America headquarters. The city's population as of 2023 was an estimated 900,000, reflecting its rapid growth in recent decades.
