Bobby Hooks Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 2 hours ago, YoloinOhio said: I totally agree with this but admittedly just bitter that there is one fan base and city that gets to end the season happy, and it’s one that is bandwagon and/or doesn’t care. I’m guess not sure why it matters what the weather is like during the game. We have 80 degrees and sunny during plenty of football games in the fall and it doesn’t impact whether I watch the games. Yeah, this doesn’t make any sense to me. It’s an easy cop out. If the weather is always nice, you would think it would be more likely they could miss out on one day in the 80’s to watch their team in the super bowl. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What else is on? Meanwhile, here in WNY we would remember it for the rest of our lives. You'd see people 20 years from now wearing the Bills SB champion shirts from this SB. I know I would be crying like a blubbering seal with a mixture of sheer joy, disbelief, and more sheer joy. I'll bet Rams fans high fived each other and went to the beach or something. Yeah, but…I feel the Rams Fans approach is the much healthier approach to take with entertainment. 🤷 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donuts and Doritos Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 No way. That fair weather fan nonsense is for the weak. If I stick it out & live & die with every play & get back up each time this team lets me down, then, 1 day, 1 glorious day when they finally win it all, that victory will be that much sweeter, bc I will have earned it living through those tough times. See there's nothing wrong with being a die hard fan it's completely healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another Fan Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) Cincinnati and Columbus- well pretty obvious why there'd be high ratings Detroit though? Kinda surprised. I always thought Buffalo was a lot more of a football fan kind of city.. In the sense that Bills fans would still show strongly during the drought. Lions now- I didn't think that much Edited February 16, 2022 by Another Fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't follow the Lions well enough if he left on good terms or was that much an attention grabber for them. I'm guessing yes?

muppy Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) Just a thought: when the Chargers beat Pittsburgh away to win the AFC Championship...not only did the fans greet the team but the Chargers opened the then Jack Murphy Stadium for the welcome back party. I went with some Charger diehard fan friends and we just got in before the place was totally full and gridlocked on the 163 freeway to get there. I mention this because while LA has the Lakers and Dodgers besides football. San Diego had of course the Padres and the Chargers. Such a legacy. Great NFL tradition. A huge local market of Charger fans in this massively populated city existed. If the Chargers hadn't left on a billionaire owners money grab up the 5 freeway to LA they would have a staunch fan base here today. Now? meh. Socal loves a winner and many of we who live here are transplants with our own team affiliations as well. Ideal weather is always a rationale for why fans dont become as invested. If they WIN then they will sell out every week. If not winning, its empty seats. LA Chargers what a total embarrassment and a farce as compared with their history. I would have thought an LA Rams superbowl would have been a ratings WIN in any case but what do I know. *shrugs* Edited February 16, 2022 by muppy 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan in Cleveland Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Interesting. I wonder what the score for NYC was this year and the last year they were in the SuperBowl. LA and NYC just have more diverse populations that may have less interest in sports or specifically the NFL. But I agree, I dont understand why LA or NYC needs two teams.

gomper Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 So sad. LA loves their Dodgers. I'll give them that. Most of the inhabitants wouldn't know a football from a snowball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountDorkula Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 These always frustrate me when people point to these to make some sort of point. It means absolute nothing. Even if Buffalo was at 50 % 50% of Buffalo Metro is 562000 That is equivalent to 5% the LA market. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
