This lower bowl thing is interesting.
The main prop for this team that is missing is not `attendance' but corporate support. Sterm says there's need to be media support (local tv deal), government support (tax breaks, etc.), and corporate support.
We have 2 of the 3 . . . the first two. The TV deal is fine, midpack, all things considered. Government support here is killer.
The latter has been and issue back to the Jazz days. Seriously.
Those blub seats aren't for consumers. They are for businesses, etc. The Hornets have been the worst in the NBA at this component of things. All those I'm In events . . . they had some just for professionals and businesses. It got better, but not terribly so.
That right there, along with any succession issues, will present the challenges for this team for the next 5 years. Sign it.

Agree. But the interesting thing is that it seems that many of those seats are sold, but they simply aren't used. Now when the team is hot and/or it gets later in the season, that changes. As an aside, I still maintain the season is too long for most people and the "general population" doesn't pay as much attention until after the first of the year. That impacts smaller markets because of raw numbers.

In other words, I assume you mean new ownership's (after the passing of Benson) intentions.
