The Hornets just drafted a once in an exciting once in a lifetime player #1 with Davis, have a new LEGIT owner that has extreme ties with the city and community,have on average the lowest ticket prices in the league, lowered concession prices, etc etc yet they can't even get close to a sellout on the first week of playing. It's going to be funny when the only games that sellout are when Miami, New York, LA, etc or if the team overachieves and the bandwagon fans jump aboard. This has been an ongoing problem with the team for years yet people still blame it on the same excuses.... why not accept the fact that maybe it's the fans and not the product being put on the court? Still love my Hornets and wish them the best, but it's got to be hard for the players to see half empty arenas ALL the time except when big market teams come to town. It's a disgrace when teams like Toronto and Charlotte can sell out, but the Hornets can't even get to 17,000.
