Can you guess the 12 major league teams with the least fans?

According to this article they are:

1. Cleveland Indians
Decrease in attendance: 56.08 percent

2. Baltimore Orioles
Decrease in attendance: 44.00 percent

3. Seattle Mariners
Decrease in attendance: 40.54 percent

4. Pittsburgh Pirates
Decrease in attendance: 33.78 percent

5. Oakland Athletics
Decrease in attendance: 33.51 percent

6. Detroit Lions
Decrease in attendance: 25.18 percent

7. Arizona Diamondbacks
Decrease in attendance: 25.05 percent

8. Philadelphia 76ers

9. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Decrease in attendance: 24.78 percent

10. Indiana Pacers
Decrease in attendance: 24.32 percent

11. Columbus Blue Jackets
Decrease in attendance: 21.76 percent

12. Oakland Raiders
Decrease in attendance: 21.32 percent

Some of the teams on this list were bad for many years, but are finally on the way up like Detroit Lions, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The rest have been bad for years and may continute to be bad for years so you can't blame there fans for not spending their money on a bad product. Hopefully they will turn things around, but sadly for many of the teams on this list, they could be mediocre at best for years.
