The Toronto Maple Leafs would like a word with you.

I think there can also be a bias in favour of teams that are still in developing regions that the sport is still trying to conquer.

When a team can sell out a stadium for decades despite their record, who cares if they win or lose?

Is it common that teams sell out a stadium with a bad record? I know there's the Cubs and some other "lovable losers", but I wasn't under the impression that it was exceptional. White sox ticket prices/sales seem responsive to their record.
