This is the way i'm seeing it, not an excuse to be made because as a student I went to 5 games this year. 3 of them were from school discounts also with classmates.
collectively, this is a "football country". We put a ton of emphasis into football from high school onto pros. You have to remember in the million people in the new orleans area, including kenner, metairie, belle chasse, gretna, etc. there's 70k of them that buy tickets to go see the saints games and there's a good bit of them who don't want to spend the extra money on season tickets for hornets due to time restraints and they know they can't go to all the games. I know what you're saying, there's weekend packs, etc. But its just them maybe alloting "x" amount of money on sports a year in their budget.
Also take into account the poverty of this city, most of the sports fans rather sit at home and save $100 for him/her and their 3 friends and just grab a box of chicken or pizza for $20 and chill.

hell honestly though, I find it with school, studying, friends, and having to drive to the arena to sit for 2 hours to watch the game is a lot harder than watching it from home/online and being able to alt-tab in between to get a little studying done.
