I haven't (lately) seen a consistent winner for them to support.

The Heat don't give them enough of a reason to support? This is supposed to be the team of the century and 11 games into the season, they're having to beg fans to stay for the whole games. It's embarrassing.

Do you think it's easy to find 19,600 people dumb enough to pay those prices each night? They are doing it. Aren't they?

Season tickets sold out in like five seconds. But it's all bandwagon morons who show up for an hour. Miami has very few real fans, it's just a fact dude.

Well, if I were to spend money advertising to sports fans (on a Sunday afternoon in late Autumn,) I guess I'd find an ice box city, because they can't golf, swim, fish, go to the beach etc. there. That would make them a confined group, and more apt to watch sports on T.V. In that respect, I guess Ice Box cities would appear to have better sports fans. In reality, they are indoor prisoners.

Houston, Detroit, Atlanta, and Miami are all about the same-sized metro areas. They occupy the 9th-12th largest metro areas in the country. They are 3-4 times smaller than your market, or mine. Keep some size perspective. It's not a massive population.

Right, because there's nothing else to do in New York City and that's why the Jets/Giants/Knicks sell out season tickets.

You have about 4x the people that the Miami Metro area has. There's no comparison to be made.

Whoa!
