Saints attendance:

2023-24 -12th
2022-23 - 15th (96.1%)
2021-22 - 22nd (94.9%)
2020-21 - COVID
2019-20 - 7th (100.1%)

Saints have generally always been supported locally.

Pelicans attendance:

2023-24 - 24th
2022-23 - 26th (99.4%)
2021-22 - 25th (92.0%)
2020-21 - COVID
2019-20 - 23rd (97.9%)

Pelicans suffer from one of the smallest arenas in the NBA and having one of the worst front offices in the NBA.

Pels have squandered 3 generational players in CP3, AD, and Zion and whenever it seems like the Pels are about to get over that fan momentum hump, something catastrophic happens.

CP3 - team has no owner and CP3 requests trade.

AD - team looking on the up and up and then Boogie Cousins blows out his achilles. Team then falls apart and AD requests trade.

Zion - finally looking good and healthy and then suffers injury and doesn't play in the playoffs again and Pels on verge of getting swept after 2 blowout losses.

Fans have just been beat down over and over by the Pels and growing tired.

Suffer? They aren’t selling it out now. I would say it’s too big.
