It's hard to judge since Columbus and Carolina are the only teams that play in metro areas with only one major league team and both of them are big college markets (as is Austin). Columbus also has an MLS team with higher average attendance than the Jackets -- but also much lower ticket prices.
Vegas was successful as a single-sport market for the brief time it was one.
Hartford is the only single-sport market to fail, and it's a smaller market than Buffalo.
