This is an example of this aspect of the game not being flexible enough to mirror IRL events. You can bet, if the Pale Hose would go 49-33 to start next year (they won't), the excitement in Chicago would be intense, and they would be selling out home games. It's true, in a bell curve sense, that fan interest lags, and takes time to build, as jksander correctly points out. But a suddenly competitive, potential worst-to-first, team is an exception. Season tickets obviously won't change in the first year, but the walk-up admissions would skyrocket. The game ought to reflect that here.
