Pelicans Live Case
Posted on 3/25/14 at 3:26 pm

I started a thread a couple of months ago about doing a live case with some Pels execs about the disparity of visits between their mobile and desktop websites. I think a big factor is the age of the average Pels fan. If y'all could guess, what would you say the average age of Pels fans are? Not season ticket holders per se, but just fans that follow the team. I'm 21 and I feel like the average age is probably low to mid 20's then tapering off the older you continue.

I would think the average age is higher than that. My guess would be mid 30's

Here is a study comparing the NFL to the NBA, and while the NBA skews younger, it's not by much
Age Range NFL NBA
18-34 29.6% 31.9%
35-49 28.9% 29.1%
50+ 41.3% 39.2%

I can definitely see the Pelicans and Saints being different than average though. The Saints is a family tradition so you have grand kids through grand parents getting together to watch games and follow the team. The same just wouldn't be true of the Pelicans yet.
But our guesses are pointless, and the population of an internet message board is not representative of the general population. I had to do a project like this for a Mall back in the day and the Pelicans came to your class for free labor. They want you to hit the bricks and work the phones doing a survey to confirm the age difference.

Warriors did a study on the demographics of their fan base in 1998.

It may not be the same for the Pelicans, but I would think that it's relatively similar.

i think the average poster on here is in his (or her) 20s (there are a good number of exceptions to this, though).
i think the average age of someone at the game is mid-to-late 30s or early 40s. again…average…there are lots of youngins and lots of VORs, but many of the 20 somethings can't afford to go to games on a regular basis.
that leaves the average supporter in his (or her) 30s, IMO. i wouldn't be surprised if it's younger for NOLA just because this is a relatively new franchise to the city, and with that comes younger support. just a guess.
