I think it depends on who they are.  Look at the DC area.  You have UMd, G'town, GWash, and George Mason as the primary D-1 teams in b-ball. (UMd is the only game in town for football.)  UMd packs/comes close to packing the Comcast Center pretty much no matter what. the others, IMO have a certain loyal core of followers who will go to their games all the time and the number increases with their success.  G'town plays in the Verizon Center and the crowd basically gets lost.  McDonough Gym on campus is way too small and the Verizon Center is way too big.  The DC media for the longest time emphasized UMd football and G'town basketball (under Thompson the Elder).  When G'town seemingly collapsed, it was just UMd.  However, in DC all sports at all levels are secondary to the Redskins.  Baseball season is really over once the Redskins open training camp.  They even had one TV station broadcast live the entirety of what would now be called OTAs.
