Seattle has a lot of history when it comes to soccer, which helps their fanbase a lot. It's not like the sounders just came out of no where like NYCFC. Atlanta is surprising to me. But I guess they are rallying for sheer lack of other successful sports teams? LAFC is impressive in how professional the supporters are. They're organized and relentless, regardless of how the game is going.
We have a lot of immigrants here, but I also think they don't respect MLS and don't want to waste time going to a game. Add to that, we're playing in a baseball stadium and it just makes us more of a joke.
Given time and a new stadium, I think fan culture in NYC will grow. It wouldn't hurt if we had some standout players on the team.
