In Kansas City? Probably 1990 or 1991?

After the MLB strike in 1994. That pissed a lot of people off that never came back.

Late 90s for me.
The internet helped me follow my team, the Kansas City Chiefs and get the NFL news. I remember getting with a group of Chiefs fans on AOL, so new and different at the time. At roughly the same time MLB hooked up with cable making it harder to get Royals games out of market IIRC. |

Once MLB got all the mega TV contracts for just a few teams and only a few teams win every year for the last 30+ years.
There is no hope in MLB for 90% of the teams. |

I think that’s about right. There’s a line in the 1973 movie “Bang the Drum Slowly” where a doctor tells a baseball player he’s treating, “I hear it’s a dying sport.”
There’s also this: Quote:

Will never forget George Brett standing on second base going over .400 The Chiefs even making the playoffs back then was pretty much out of the question but I watched them every Sunday anyway. |

I feel like this is when it really shifted. The strike coupled with Dallas becoming a team that everyone either jumped on the bandwagon or absolutely hated. This created a bunch of rivalries and banter between fans. I feel like it really took off from there. That’s just my experience, anyway.
