Top 10 Sports Teams with the Biggest Bandwagon Fans

These teams couldn't sell out if they gave out Porsches with tickets. Now all of the sudden, fans come out of nowhere, throwing random stats, trying to look like real fans, and the stadium is sold out. Yes folks, the dreaded bandwagon fans with cowbells and other fake noise making devices.
The Top Ten
1 New York Yankees The New York Yankees are an American professional baseball team based in the Bronx, New York City, New York, that competes in Major League Baseball.

Yes, they've finally made their appearance on this list. You see people who you know have no idea what's going on during a baseball game wearing a Yankees hat. When confronted by another fan, they always try to say "27 championships." That kind of proves you're a bandwagon fan if that's all you talk about.

I literally have a friend who doesn't watch baseball but claims, "Yeah, I'm a Yankees fan," while being halfway across America from them.

I swear, everyone who barely knows anything about baseball roots for these guys: Go Blue Jays.

2 Seattle Seahawks The Seattle Seahawks are a professional American football franchise based in Seattle, Washington. The Seahawks compete in the National Football League as a member club of the league's National Football Conference West division.

Seattle sucks. Now my friend is a USC fan, and he likes Seattle. That's sort of bandwagon, but he's not a bandwagon college fan. Anyway, Seahawks fans before 2012 were unpopular. Now it's all about the bandwagons.

3 New England Patriots The New England Patriots are a professional American football team based in the Greater Boston region. New England Patriots are one of the few teams to have 5+ wins in the Super Bowl.
4 Golden State Warriors The Golden State Warriors are an American professional basketball team based in San Francisco. The Warriors compete in the National Basketball Association as a member of the league's Western Conference Pacific Division.

Location: San Francisco, CA

Arena/Stadium: Chase Center... read more

This is the most annoying thing ever. I ask people what their favorite team is, and they say "Golden State." When I call them bandwagoners, they answer back with something stupid like, "It's because I like Curry, so I'm not a bandwagoner." They can't even name five people on the team.

I know. Everyone wears Curry jerseys now.

5 Dallas Cowboys The Dallas Cowboys are a professional American football team based in the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex. The Cowboys compete in the National Football League as a member club of the league's National Football Conference East division.

Yep, definitely a bandwagon team. It sure is Texas's pride and joy. I feel like almost every other person likes the Cowboys in Texas, solely because it's a Texan team.

Once Dallas loses once, AT&T Stadium never reaches half capacity again.

They still cling to the '90s as if they think that's still relevant.

6 Boston Red Sox The Boston Red Sox are an American professional baseball team based in Boston, Massachusetts, that competes in Major League Baseball.

What a surprise, the Red Sox and Yankees are near each other. Well, I am a fan of this team, but I admit there are lots of bandwagon fans. It's the same with the Yankees, but with fewer championships. They talk about how many championships they have won this decade.

When they were at the bottom, everyone hated them. Now that they're winning, everyone loves them. Additionally, the players cheat and act like women.

Remember when everyone was sympathetic toward the Red Sox? Oh, how times have changed in 15 years.

7 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Football The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are the athletic teams that represent the University of Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish participate in 23 National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I intercollegiate sports and in the NCAA's Division I in all sports, with many teams competing in the Atlantic Coast... read more

People hop on and off this bandwagon so much, using classic excuses like "I'm Catholic" or "My hair trimmer's fifth cousin six times removed went to the college near it." Enough. I don't know what it is. I am a fan, but these types of fans are what drive me insane.

8 Los Angeles Lakers The Los Angeles Lakers are an American professional basketball team based in Los Angeles. The Lakers compete in the National Basketball Association, as a member of the league's Western Conference Pacific Division.

Head coach: Frank Vogel

Arena/Stadium: Staples Center... read more

Lebron sucks, no defense, selfish overachiever, and a self proclaimed GOAT that his fans are dumb enough to regurgitate.

9 Chicago Blackhawks The Chicago Blackhawks are a professional ice hockey team based in Chicago, Illinois. They are members of the Central Division of the Western Conference of the National Hockey League. They have won six Stanley Cup championships since their founding in 1926.

About 5-10 years ago, the Hawks barely had fans in the stands. Now they're out in masses. They were in the bottom five for attendance for a long time. Now, the bandwagon is overflowing.

10 Alabama Crimson Tide Football

The Justin Bieber of all sports.

The Contenders
11 Tampa Bay Rays The Tampa Bay Rays are an American professional baseball team based in St. Petersburg, Florida. The Rays compete in Major League Baseball as a member of the American League East division.

No doubt. The place sold about 500 tickets a game, and all of a sudden, it is sold out. These are also the most obnoxious fans, with their cowbells.

12 Pittsburgh Steelers The Pittsburgh Steelers are a professional American football team based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, that competes in the National Football League. Pittsburgh Steelers have won the most Super Bowls with 6 which currently stands today.
13 Cleveland Cavaliers The Cleveland Cavaliers, also known as the Cavs, are an American professional basketball team based in Cleveland, Ohio.

The Cavs' popularity will severely decrease once LeBron retires or stops being the top player we all know him as. These same people who claim to be devout Cavs fans most likely sported a LeBron Heat jersey during his tenure there.

Although many of the Warriors' fan bases are bandwagons, you can't deny how toxic the community can be. Ever since the 2016 finals, their only excuse for being a good team is "3-1."

14 Miami Heat The Miami Heat is an American professional basketball team based in Miami, Florida. The Heat compete in the National Basketball Association as a member of the league's Eastern Conference Southeast Division.
15 Green Bay Packers The Green Bay Packers are a professional American football team based in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The Packers compete in the National Football League as a member club of the league's National Football Conference North division. The Packers have won 4 Super Bowls and 13 NFL championships.
16 Pittsburgh Penguins The Pittsburgh Penguins (colloquially known as the Pens) are a professional ice hockey team based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. They compete in the National Hockey League (NHL) as a member of the Metropolitan Division of the Eastern Conference. The Penguins are one of two NHL franchises in Pennsylvania,... read more
17 Arizona Cardinals The Arizona Cardinals are a professional American football franchise based in the Phoenix metropolitan area.

"Oh, really? You were a fan 10 years ago? Name one player." "Uhhhh... Larry Fitzgerald?"

All of a sudden, the year the Cardinals went to the Super Bowl, they came. Yes, Cardinals fans. There they were, packing stadiums. It gets repetitive.

18 Washington Nationals The Washington Nationals are a professional baseball team based in Washington, D.C. The Nationals compete in Major League Baseball as a member club of the National League East division.

"What the hell?" you ask as you see "Washington Nationals." You check back. You rub your eyes, knowing that the Nationals have done nothing to earn bandwagon fans. Nothing yet. But anytime Stephen Strasburg pitches, fans come out of the woodwork. All of them are wearing Strasburg jerseys or cheap Nationals hats they bought at the airport. Stop it. You were not fans before they drafted Strasburg, and you know it. So stop pretending. Now, if you came to the game in a random T-shirt and a random hat, then sure, you're admitting that you're only there to see Strasburg. But stop pretending to be a Nationals fan. Please, you're embarrassing yourself. Pick the right bandwagons, for Christ's sake.

19 Butler Bulldogs Basketball The Butler Bulldogs men's basketball team represents Butler University in Indianapolis, United States.

Ah, Hoosiers! Nope. Did anyone in the country know who Butler was before the tourney? True basketball fans knew that Butler is a team that always pulls off these upsets. They were not a Cinderella. They were a fifth seed. It shouldn't be that much of a surprise if a fifth seed makes it that far. So stop making a big deal and pretending to be a fan of Butler.

20 Kansas City Chiefs The Kansas City Chiefs are a professional American football team based in Kansas City, Missouri. The Chiefs compete in the National Football League as a member club of the league's American Football Conference West division.

They win one Super Bowl and get carried by Patrick Mahomes. Where were you all in 2008 and 2012 when they went 2-14?

21 Charlotte Bobcats

I'm a true Bobcats fan. I went to a game in '07 for my birthday, and there was no one there. I watched the games this season, and as the season went on, it got more and more crowded. All of a sudden, even my friends became "fans." The people who used to make fun of me and my team are now pretending to like them.

22 New Orleans Saints The New Orleans Saints are a professional American football team based in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Saints currently compete in the National Football League as a member club of the league's National Football Conference South division.

Stop kidding yourselves, "fans." They have true fans, definitely. However, they also have big bandwagons. They wave those "who dat" flags like they have been fans forever. But they really haven't. And these are some of the most annoying fans out there. They pretend to talk strategy, but all they do is talk about Drew Brees being Jesus. Quit it, please! And I am a Panthers fan since birth, so I have a personal bias against the Saints, but you have to admit...

23 Washington Capitals The Washington Capitals (colloquially known as the Caps) are a professional ice hockey team based in Washington, D.C. They compete in the National Hockey League (NHL) as a member of the Metropolitan Division of the Eastern Conference. The Capitals are owned by Monumental Sports & Entertainment, headed... read more
24 FC Barcelona Futbol Club Barcelona, also known as Barcelona and familiarly as Barça, is a professional football club, based in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain.

Most people who love them can't name a single player aside from Lionel Messi. They're successful, so they have many fans. Once they're not successful, which may not be for quite a while, they won't have many fans at all. More accurately, once Lionel Messi leaves, they will lose many of their fans.

25 Los Angeles Dodgers The Los Angeles Dodgers are an American professional baseball team based in Los Angeles, California. The Dodgers compete in Major League Baseball as a member club of the National League West division.

Losing two World Series in a row can certainly tell the difference between real and fake.

The Lakers of Baseball just plenty of Bandwagon fans.
