I went to a Brewers-Twins game in Milwaukee a few years ago and there were more Twins fans at the game. I'd say that Minneapolis has a pretty good fan base. People love their Twins, its just sad that they've had to endure crappy ownership all these years.
One city that I have to give props to for being behind their team no matter what is KC. I've been down there a couple of times and every time I run into people that are passionate about their Royals no matter how bad they are.

incredibly true. I go there a few times a year, and you can see this.
North Carolina. Great for college and minor leagues (Durham Bulls) but Raleigh/Charlotte are awful pro sports towns.
Maine has a good swing for a pitcher but on anything that moves, he has no chance. And if it's a fastball, it has to be up in the zone. Basically, the pitcher has to hit his bat. - Mike Pelfrey

Hey, Carolina Panthers are there and they have plenty of fans. I'm a huge Panther fan and I've been to a couple of games and their fans are faithful to the team. You would be suprised.
Now the Hurricanes? Thats another story...
It seems not many American hockey franchises could give a hoot. With little exceptions to the Red Wings, Avs, and Rangers.

The fanbases of Duke, UNC and NC State are all pretty rabid, and I bet it could translate easily to pro sports, if given the chance. But they don't actually have a team there (although that'll change if the area keeps growing like it has).
