Seattle, Always great Support of Seahawks, Sonics, and University of Washington Sports! Sounders have some of the best support of any Soccer Team in the World! Heck even the Seattle Storm are well supported. We have great fans here in Seattle. It's definitely not title town USA but we are atleast loud and proud with what we got!
The worst fans in Seattle right now are Mariners fans. I remember going to Mariners games back in 2001 when every game was sold out. The Mariners were the most popular team in Seattle back in 2001. Now they are probably the least popular team in Seattle.
MLB - Rockies have set almost every attendance record there is! Most fans for 1 season. Most fans for a 2 or 3 game series. Most fans for 1 game. Quickest team to 5, 10, 20, and 30 million fans!
NFL - Denver has always been one of the best for NFL fans! Always sold out, loud, and a terribly long waiting list for season tickets! Also one of the largest stadiums in the NFL!
NHL - Avs set the longest sellout streak mark. I think Toronto argues with this fact, but it has been out there for awhile, and not sure which side is correct!
NBA - Nuggets have great attendance ion the last decade. Before that, it was somewhat hit and miss, but never near the bottom!

I do. Its pretty annoying to see Boston get all this cred for sports when before 2011 the Bruins were an afterthought, just like before 2008 when the Celtics were an afterthought, or 2000 when the Patriots were an afterthought.
Boston has had the fortune of many titles and successful teams over the last 13 years while Chicago, Philly and NYC havent. In fact, im pretty sure it has more titles than the others combined since 2000, although I could be off by one or two.
The only thing about Boston is the Red Sox. Thats their identity. Other sports run cold/hot but the Red Sox will always be on top. You cant really say that about Chicago or Philly. You can say the Bears and Eagles are like the Red Sox to the NFL in those cities, but then you have the Cubs and Flyers as well, etc.
Lets see Boston sell out consistently without any titles like Philly does, but what mostly brings Boston down for me is the Bruins/Celtics fans, which were not there prior to 2011/08 and it shows in attendance. Especially for such storied franchises and it being a "hockey town." Okay.
You are way under-appreciating Boston sports fans. Why am I supposed to believe all these Philly and other city fans have ALL this knowledge about Boston fan behavior and then we just take your word for it? The B's and the C's has solid fan bases before their titles. Every team goes through fluctuations, and in the early 2000s the Pats and Sox were on a roll, so of course people were more focused on them. But the 2011 Bruins parade? One of the biggest parades in the history of the city. And nowadays, the Patriots are just as much the identity of the area as the Red Sox, and being from Boston, I'd say that the Patriots are probably the more popular franchise nowadays, so i don't know what you're talking about with Boston being Red Sox and nothing else.
Let's see Boston sell out consistently without titles? How about the success and popularity of the Red Sox without a title for 86 years. The Pats haven't won a title in a decade, they still sell out every game.
Just because some of the bandwagon fans lose interest doesn't mean a) that B's and C's didn't have fans before they won their titles. What does that even mean anyway? Since their last title? Never? Get real. b) They still had cult diehard followings through everything.
To be fair to Philly, you do have a new coach, new offense, and a lot of injuries! Tough to compete like that!
And many turnovers. Their defense stinks, they were outclassed yesterday
