Team attendance & trends
Posted: Mon Jul 10, 2023 4:00 pm
Lakers were 9th in average home attendance in 2019-20, before the bubble, before the title. Went to 6th in 21-22 but down to 11th last season.
Thunder were 14th in 2019-20 but were next to last this past season depending on if you count the Alamodome game for the Spurs who went from 12th to 29th or 30th.
Suns only advanced from 27th to 24th during the period. Rockets fell from 15th to 27th. Bring on vets and hoped for wins. Enough?
Bucks, 17th before title, 19th now.
Pelicans slip a bit from 23rd to 25th. Griz gain a bit from 26th to 22nd. Pacers go from 22nd to 28th. Timberwolves from 30th to 26th. Wizards stay in 21st. Kings stay 20th.
Clippers slide from 8th to 17th. Star power did not work in several ways
Warriors went from 16th on attendance to a still modest 13th in new digs but are doing great on overall revenues.
Celtics, 2nd to 7th in period. Blazers, 5th to 9th.
Bulls, from uncharacteristic low of 11th back to 1st. Knicks 10th to 6th. Market size and legacy
Nuggets from 6th... to 7th. Team performance is only one part of the equation. Attendance and attendance potential varies by market (arena, sports competition, tv visibility, etc.)
