Heck no...we have plenty of NY fans in Tampa Bay, and from what I’ve seen when the Rays play NY, there are as many if not more NY fans in the stands than Rays fans.
Now, in the post season, you might be seeing a lot of NY fans who are now behind the Rays...but in the regular season, the die hard fan base from other cities that have been transplanted here still root for their team.
Makes sense...it was a Red Sox fan who told me that.....
