Ranking spring sports

You might think this is just like you naming your favorite spring sport. It’s not. I watn you to tell me which sports have the biggest followings.
In the fall, football is king and soccer is second. In the winter, it’s basketball with wrestling following. But what is it in the spring? What are people reading the paper for? Is it baseball? What about soccer? Softball? Maybe golf or swimming? Does track get the most fans?
There’s seven sports, which I think probably dilutes the fan base a bit. There definitely isn’t a sport like football or basketball, which draws several thousand people for most games. But one sport has to be king. Which is it?
I think the top spring sport is baseball with soccer and softball and track right behind.

Track and Field, Baseball/Softball, Girls Soccer, Golf.
It is hard to say who gets, or would get the most fans, a lot of the times these springs sports are in late afternoon while people are still working, but if they were in the evening like football and basketball, it would be a different story.

Softball, baseball, track, watching the grass grow, catching some rays, watching the neighbors grass grow, then maybe soccer.

Track and Field, Baseball/Softball, Girls Soccer, Golf.
I think the if these spring sports were held in the evenings like football and basketball there would be a bigger fan base, but most of these events start late afternoon with most people still at work.

Track and Field, Baseball/Softball, Girls Soccer, Golf.
If these sports were held in the evenings instead of late afternoon while most people are still at work, then I believe the fan base would be much higher.

Track and Field. Only reason more students arn’t out there supporting it is because of it’s start time.

If everything started at the same time on the same night, my guess is:
1. baseball; 2. softball; then significan drops to 3. track; 4. soccer, 5. golf.

Nobody can argue that the state track meet is the largest venue for high school sports in the state…one of the biggest in the nation, due to all six classes competing at the same time.
