Los Angeles and it is not even close.
If the (fill in pro team of your choice here) are winning, then you can neither find nor afford tickets. If they are losing then the seats are empty to the extent that pro franchises have been known to leave this fickle burg for smaller cities due to the fact that they are unable to make a profit in a metropolitan area of over 15 million people.

Fact! Prior to The 2006 season, you couldn't give Saints tickets away. No one in the city was a fan and now there are 30k people on the ticket waiting list.
All of the quoted statements are patently false.

Games would be blacked out locally going into Thursday and Friday, until local companies would buy the remaining tickets.

Dodgers say you're an idiot and you've probably never been there.
And that city supports 2 NBA teams and basically 2 MLB teams.
And what is even your point? Empty seats? N.O. was sure filled to the brim when they were losing.

In the early 2000s there were only a few weekends when that happened. In the late 80s and early 90s thay never happened. Even at the end of the Mora years and during the shitty Ditka years, it wasn't as bad as you make it out to be.
BTW, the waiting list is 50k now.
Go troll elsewhere.

The Aints never happened? 
There's a lot of sporting moments in history that now according to TD never happened.

The aints were just a figment of the rest of the worlds imagination according to saints fans.

How about the Hornets? Or do they just not even get on the bandwagon?

The Aints were 30 years ago.
And the people wearing bags on their heads WERE AT THE GAMES.

The entire state of Nebraska.
No pro franchises. People just latch onto whatever team they want.

This was going on in the 90's as well. The list may be 50k now but 49,950 of the people couldn't afford uppers if they were ever called. After Katrina, how many diehards made the 80 mile drive (not everyone lost everything in the storm). Take off the black and gold glasses.
This isn't saying that all saints fans are bandwagoneres b/c I kno plenty who gave been fans forever but to say that the teM has had this many followers and support from the city is bull.

"Sorry Billy, I know you didn't work for a month because the business you work at was shut down, and I know you have 6 people living in your 2 bedroom home, and Tom Benson looks to be strongly considering moving the Saints to San Antonio, but you're a bandwagoner for not going to Baton Rouge."
PS: The Saints had 34 consecutive regular season sellouts going into the Denver game in mid 2004. Ironically, I think Brees (250/4TD/0INT) and the Chargers demolishing us in SD after 3 seasons of frustrating mediocrity is what ended the streak.
Oh, and that "bandwagon" waiting list started after a 3-13 season, so you're pretty much full of shite.
Regardless of whether you think a lot of Saints fans are bandwagoners, to say NOLA is worse than Atlanta or Miami, significantly larger cities that have struggled to sell out playoff games (Dolphins had a playoff game blacked out about 5 years ago) is idiotic.
