I think, however, that fan loyalty and fan interest are probably computed differently with different algorithms.

On the other hand, it does appear that for some teams, winning does not produce any noticeable effect on fan interest.
Just an aside, I also tried White Sox. My experience is the same in that despite putting together 2 seasons winning 90+ games, all while leaving the ticket price unchanged, the fan interest is still hovering around in the 40s. Sigh...

That seems out of whack.
Did you move a lot of popular players?
How was your attendance?
Did 90 wins get you to the playoffs?
Did you win in the post season?
