Message: [QUOTE="TheFarmFan, post: 5123151, member: 9403"] LA has always been a pro sports town first and foremost. When the Rams left and they had no NFL team, U$C became the hometown team, and it coincided with one of their most successful eras. Now, there's two NFL teams (one won the Superbowl a few years ago), two baseball teams (one just won the World Series), two pro basketball teams (and one has the LeBron show), and two hockey teams to boot. Plus U$C football. There's just not a ton of sports fan bandwidth left over, especially for a town whose main jam is an entertainment industry that doesn't naturally care as much about sports anyway. The one thing the Sparks have going for them is NONE of those sports but baseball are going during their season, so there's a hungry audience. I'm afraid WCBB just has a very hard time competing against all these other options. [/QUOTE]
