They support the Dodgers and Lakers but that's about it. Chicago and NY, even Boston and Philly shows out for all of their teams.

They may have some fairweather seasons in the others sports like when Gretzky was on the Kings and their cup runs or when the Rams were new again and made a run to the SB but their devotion as a whole pales to the other American cosmopolitan cities

This is a source of pride. Being a diehard for sports means nothing else is going for you or your city.

the Angels routinely finish in the upper half in attendance

Also, compared to other major metro areas, its supports USC and UCLA to a decent degree

Chicago and NY
can't speak to NY but meh on Chicago. The Angels get better support than the White Sox and people just seem to forget that Chicago really didn't support the Blackhawks well for decades prior to their run in the 2010s
