So should I remind you of the 97 playoffs and the white-out at America West (now US Airways) Arena?
Consider this:
1st - We have a majority of transplants who are already fans of other teams (Chicago/Pittsburgh/Detroit/Any Canadian team/etc.) and won't consider another team to be a fan of.
2nd - This team has not had a winning season in almost a decade. This killed an already small fan-base this team had.
3rd - The move to Glendale. This is NOT convenient for us living in the east valley.
4th - Their last home game against Vancouver was 90.3% full. That's pretty good.
The Cardinals had this problem, then they started winning games and they're fan base is HUGE now. People will come to a winning franchise. This hasn't been one, but is on the verge of turning it around.
