That is just not true. Since 00-01. Italics are playoff years. San Jose 6th, 7th, 7th, 15th, 14th, 11th, 12th, 10th, 5th. (And I conceded that this was the one team that might be the exception. It just depends if you want to penalize them for not showing up to watch a team that is usually excellent. Tampa Bay 26th, 26th, 19th, 14th, 1st, 2nd, 15th, 27th, 25th Anaheim 25th, 30th, 23rd, 16th, 20th, 16th, 5th, 15th, 20th Dallas 15th, 4th, 3rd, 9th, 13th, 15th, 13th, 18th, 18th Los Angeles 17th, 15th, 13th, 10th, 12th, 19th, 18th, 20th, 17th Washington 21st, 13th, 17th, 26th, 28th, 27th, 24th, 13th, 10thNo one caresolina 29th, 23rd, 21st, 29th, 24th, 18th, 20th, 21st, 24th Nashville 14th, 20th, 26th, 27th, 22nd, 21st, 22nd, 22nd, 21st St. Louis 2nd, 10th, 14th, 12th, 29th, 29th, 19th, 17th, 15th Atlanta 23rd, 29th, 29th, 24th, 23rd, 22nd, 23rd, 30th, 29th Phoenix 24th, 28th, 27th, 17th, 21st, 23rd, 27th, 28th, 30th Florida 27th, 22nd, 24th, 22nd, 25th, 25th, 30th, 29th, 26th For the sake of setting a standard, we'll say 15th or worse in attendance constitutes not putting butts in the seats. Which is every team. The only one that begins to escape this is the one that has made the playoffs 8 of the last 9 years, winning their division in 4 of them, and advancing past the first round 7 times which is probably beyond the reasonable expectations of any fan. So yes. EVERY southern team has failed at putting butts in the seats. The only way to (barely) not fail in the south is to (probably) put up the best overall record in the league for about ten straight years.
