So...fan support


davos

Recommended Posts

My question is how can the organization and team sell out games and increase fan support (minus winning of course)? It finally seems things are looking up for the club (minus the name) and they are currently the hottest team in the NBA. So, what's going to bring all those young bankers to the game?

The pink elephant in the room. This city should be giving way more support to this team as far as attendance goes. The arena is always half empty. We as fans (me included) should be attending more games. Jordan said last year that he understands its a tough balance, he wants more fan support but understands we're going thru an economic crisis right now and people just arent spending money like they used to.

I know you said minus winning but I really think it might be that simple. You can already see the increase in interest by calls to the local sports radio station and even traffic in this forum. I think a playoff home game will be the hottest ticket in town and "the place to be". Be interesting to see if it carries over to the following year though. Sustained winning would go along way for fan support.

It would be nice to have a consistent pro sports team in town.

It really is sad though how few people actually go to the games, especially during the middle of the week. At least lately it really feels like the majority of people there actually care.

Tuesday is a good cheap day to go. They have 10 dollar tickets, 3 dollar beer, and 2 dollar hot dogs. You can get scalped tickets for real cheap out front. Bobblehead night would fill the place up too. People like freebies.

True that, ive gotten two hats, a blanket, a growl towel and a little toy car at some of the games ive gone too.

    • The good news is that we are pretty uniquely well established to address all of our needs this season. We have $14m real cap space, and something like $40m in trade deadline cap space. Not sure exactly how that works out. But, we have the room to absorb any bad contracts. With recent rule changes regarding retention, that went into effect this season, we now have a huge advantage in the trade market.  On top of that, while we do have obvious needs, we also have a glut of talent in certain areas that we struggle to find ice time for. We are over-stocked on scrappy talented lil-guys, strong defensively sound 3rd liners and shutdown left shot dmen. Whether it's a package or separate deals, idk. But, one of each from Stank/Blake/Nads, Erob/Carrier/KK/Jank, and Walker/Nystrom; throw in some 1st round picks (and frankly any other prospects they want) and we should be able to come out with a 1b to pair with Bussi and either a 2c with size or a 2c and size.   TL/DR We got the money, you got the stuff?
    • I don’t  think 6’4 was ever considered small or undersized. Baby hands tho, yes that was his thing That’s an interesting idea, like an optical illusion? Sounds like you have personal experience with this! 
    • in the 25' draft the Carolina Panthers had hired Brandt Tillis someone who actually understood how to build a successful team & build through the draft .  this team was yes mismanaged for years prior to Brandt Tillis joining the team in 25' & rarely done anything right in the draft outside occaionaly getting lucky on an UDFA such as Jalen Coker who's dad coincidentally happened to be a huge Carolina Panthers fan, hint hint  ...just saying
