A lil off tangent but man wasnt it a disgrace a few years back when there were more FRIGGIN jets fans at pro player than dolphin fans. I just dont get FL sports fans. Being from NY we are fanatical about our teams. (I am a NY home team fan all the way except football where I am a fin fan who even subjects himself to harassment by going to Miami/jets games in my Miami gear). How is it U of Miami and FL state have such a huge following and loyal fans but the Fins cant sell out a playoff game? The Jets tickets are sold out before the season and there is a waiting list to get on become a season ticket holder. Come on fans in Miami...whats up???
Well some thoughts from a California based fan. South Florida does have some similarties to here in California. Unless a team is trendy and winning all the time sellouts don't happen. Also there are high levels of area transplants(both in California and Florida) whose team alligences are with outside teams. Also the beach culture leads to potential fans choosing the beach over a live game. Unlike the Northeastern cities that going to game is the only release. Also the stadium roads discourge fans into going to games.
