I just want you guys to see articles that I have written, it has nothing to do with me trying to get people over to bleacher report because they get plenty of traffic they don't need my help. I figured since I am an arizona sports fan the articles I write, could be read by fellow arizona fans

I think maybe 5th worst might be a bit harsh. Look at teams like the Cardinals, they have one playoff appearance the entire time in the desert but still draw a respectable crowd. They sold out the last 2 seasons, even though attendance dropped at the end of last year, which I understand. I don't know many places where people would still be this passionate about a team that has consistently let them down. I know people that are fans of all sports, but no one is more passionate then Cardinal fans.
It is however, odd that the Diamond Backs are so unpopular here. How much more do they have to do to draw a fan base? Also, I think calling the Suns the "crown jewel" of Arizona Sports is dead wrong. The Phoenix Suns are where almost our entire "bandwagon" exists. The Suns sell well when they are winning, but when they aren't, you can't find a Suns "fan" anywhere in this entire state. People complain about the Cardinals, they bitch and wine, but they stay with the Cardinals. That's more then I can say for the Suns. I have never seen the kind of passion that I see in Cardinals fans, it's pretty amazing really. The D-Backs have to be our "Crown Jewel," just no one really cares about them for whatever reason.

Yes, the Cardinals have been selling out, but there are a lot of those tickets in the hands of scalpers. We still have way to many opposing teams fans at our games.
I went to a D-backs game Tuesday night, it was kinda sad. 28,000 fans means it was very empty. This from the team with the best record in baseball and Randy Johnson pitching.
I Know several of my fellow teachers who have Coyotes season tickets.. and its usually empty there, too... but in their case, its not too late to fix it. Their prices are reasonable, it isn't impossible to get there. They need to improve their product.
The Suns, as someone pointed out, are truly the home real home team we have. Its the only team that was around when I was a kid... of course, of the four, its the sport I go to the least because I cannot afford the tickets. Its also the one I'd want to go to the second most (Go Cards)

Jeez. You'd think Cardinals fans would have thicker skin by now.
The guy wrote an article that included the Cardinals. Spam? No--it's relevant. If he were saying nice things you'd consider it a service that he's pointing you to the story.
Life sucks. Get a helmet.

I went to about a dozen Coyotes games this season, and attendance could be better, but wasn't terrible till the end of the season. Once people realized they weren't going to make the playoffs, they stopped going. The other problem is, that for some reason, the Coyotes play terrible at home. You're absolutely right though, the Coyotes just need to improve the product and more people will go. I went to the game vs. the Red Wings and the crowd was 50/50.
