Empty Seats In New Orleans For Anthony Davis' First Game

[LosBulls]

Cmon' New Orleans... They should move their ass out that City, it's sad when teams like the Raptors got more people in the stands and Seattle doesn't even have a team.

Wait am I missing something or are the Raptors usually one of the better teams in the league for attendance?

Thats the sad part. I can only imagine if the Raptors had a potential superstar and yet Near Orleans don't even care.

New Orleans is ALWAYS empty. They should have never gotten their team back after Katrina, they were only doing 13k that season anyways.

Son it's Halloween, in New Orleans. We're all about parties. Terrible day to have the season opener.

How is it sad that the Raptor fans actually care about their team ?

Besides, it's not like we don't have a prized rookie who played tonight either. Plus, were one of the bigger cities in the NBA.

Detroit had thousands of empty seats too. Quite... "sad".

I've never seen a game without empty seats

First off, it's Halloween...in New Orleans. You northener probably don't realize the significance of that. We sold 12k season tickets this year. Sure every game isn't going to sell out, we aren't the Lakers and haven't proven anything. We are far from worse in the league though we are middle of the road when it comes to attendence (like 18th or something percentage wise like 86%). There are several empty seats at Heat games, especially mid season. Should they leave because the heat have 2 of the top 5 players in the league right now and there is not a butt in every seat???

I've heard of teams giving out free tickets just to fill seats. Anyone know if this is true?

Hurricane Katrina......people were told to stay home !

lol at "it's Halloween". That's a lame ass excuse if I've ever heard one. So a metro area of 1.3 million people couldn't get 18,500 people to sit in an arena for two and a half hours because of Halloween?

I guess it's Halloween in New Orleans every home game, huh?

1.4 percent of the NO metro population is all it takes to sell out NO arena and that is impossible to do.
