re: Here is the truth why attendance matters - enough is enough with the arguing!

the bigger issue to me is OUTSIDE of NOLA. I'm mainly talking about around the BR area. I'm willing to bet that about 90% of my friends are sports fans and literally maybe 2 or 3 of them have ever attended a Hornets game. I have friends who live in BR and have season tickets with the Voodoo, but could give two shits about the Hornets. its sad to me that we have the NBA in our backyard and most sports fans in the state could careless. the "football and football only" mentality around here is downright annoying at times.

Football is much easier to make an hour drive once a week on Sundays. Its much more difficult to do that on weekdays multiple times a week. I made a couple of games this year, but I'm a 20 year old college student and don't have the resources that some people do.

That being said, I really hope the rebrand can help attract more fans outside of New Orleans and get people more motivated to make those trips
