Interesting speculation in the NYC forum, about how winter years that end in 1-2 kind of suck, for instance... 2011-12 dead ratter 2001-02 dead ratter 1991-92 m'eh, an occasional nickel & dimer in there 1981-82 a good winter as I recall 1971-72 starting to get a bit before my time, but I don't think it was anything special Is there some sort of physical cycle at work here, or just random coincidence? I suspect the latter, but maybe that's because I'm a weenie who wants a snowy winter. On one hand, the Pacific decadal oscillation is a thing that pros and amateurs alike have been trying to find correlations with our winter weather for, well, decades. OTOH, that would mean this winter's prone to suckage. I guess we'll find out! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Iceman Posted August 10, 2021 Author Share Posted August 10, 2021 Eagles fans > Steelers fans though and it's not even close. Judging by the pirates and pens, when those teams suck, they're lucky to fill half the building. It's not really hard to support a winner. Eagles will probably suck this year but I bet they sell out every game. If the Steelers had the Eagles history, that franchise would probably be playing in another city before they won their first super bowl in 2017. Pittsburghers are bandwagon AF. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athletics moved in 1955 and were the 2nd pro team in the city Warriors moved in 1962 and were the 2nd pro team in the city Pittsburgh struggles to support their ONE franchise when they aren't doing well. I doubt you watch the Pirates like most Pittsburghers when their team sucks but if you did, you'd see they are lucky to draw 10K a night despite having the nicest park in baseball. Once Sid retires, I'm sure that the rumors of moving to KC or Houston will fire up again unless daddy Bettman gifts the franchise another generational talent so that their 'diehard fans' don't abandon the team(again). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolHandMike Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Anybody else watching the "race" at Spa? It's been rain-delayed for an hour and half--hoping they get starting soon. Although it looks like it's only going to be a half-race now (if they start at all). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 I saw some interesting stats about sports viewership in the Philly area in 2021. The Phillies are far and away the most watched team in this area (excluding of course a 1x a week Eagles game) averaging more than 70% more viewers than the Flyers and 50% more than the Sixers - both the Flyers and Phillies increased viewership while the Sixers actually declined slightly vs. 2020 - that seems strange as they were by far the most competitive team.

Same reason newspapers are dead. Dolts like you who obviously struggle with reading comprehension & can't even correctly spell the name of city they supposedly support aren't doing the print media any favors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same reason newspapers are dead. Phil just to clarify the amount of games has nothing to do with it - it is average viewers per game....if anything because there are more baseball games by far than any sport you would think average viewers per game would be less. Imagine if the Phillies only played 17 games like the Birds?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
