This is kinda out of left field, but is there any support for the NBA in Mexico City? That's a huge city and I'd imagine it would draw a ton of fans.
There's a reason people are swimming across rivers & jumping fences to come to the US Only sport they really follow and care about like majority of the rest of the world is soccer.
hmm I remember when the NFL had a 49ers vs Cardinals game in Mexico City and they filled their entire soccer arena, which was about 100,000 seats or something.
To see NBA games, of course. Then why are they jumping fences? Is it because Portland might get an MLS team? barfo
I'm a Lumberjack, and I'm ok, I work all night and play all day. Actually it is LumberJax, like OddEnormous might spell it. barfo
Connecticut will never get another pro sports team. They are too close in proximity to New York and Boston that the fans can drive either way without it being a big hassle. They are either fans of Boston or New York sports teams.
Trivia Question: Of the top 20 largest US metro areas, only three are without NBA franchises. Seattle and San Diego are two. Which is the third?
And the Cardinals locker room was broken into. Every wallet, piece of jewelry, ipod, etc were stolen. Also, Mexico City is one of the most polluted cities in the world.
Yes, but even during the darkest days Portland managed to average over 15,000. Memphis is under 13,000 for the second year in a row. They averaged 12,770 last year and are at 12,587 this year. They've either been last or 2nd to last three years running. BNM
They drew better there than they are in Memphis. They were over 16,000 in average attendance each of their first 4 years - a figure they've only topped once in 8 years in Memphis. Even the last two lame duck years in Vancouver they drew more fans they they have over the past two seasons in Memphis. Their move, like the Hornets move from Charlotte to New Orleans, was a case of the grass is always greened elsewhere. A cash strapped team alienates one fan base and moves to another, even poorer location, and continues to struggle financially. Big surprise there. BNM
That's not saying much. You could probably put together a team of five Elvis impersonators that could beat the Grizz - or at the very least be more fun to watch. BNM
I guess signing Darius Miles for the rest of the season didn't have the impact at the gate the Grizz were hoping to see?
The Tigers do run a pro like system, and usually get the best recruits. I'd rather wacth the Tigers, cause you know they'd win.
You're right! And maybe there would be the risk of one of the players getting shot just because he went out for fast food after dark! I hear that can happen in lawless countries awash with firearms.
