For what it's worth here's why I think we have a tough time with attendance. For one, we don't cater to our city which is below the poverty line and has a high unemployment rate. If we want to sell out we need to cater to the people that are living in Atlanta. Why is it that there were more people in Atlanta watching the All Star game than any other city in the country? There are tons of people here that like basketball, they just decide, well, if I can only afford two or three games this season, then I'm going to go to watch the best teams. Then, they sit on the couch, watch LeBron play Derick Rose, and get ready to come see them when they come to town. Here's another thing that I think hurts us; The city is too damn spread out and we don't have a true business district. Most office buildings have moved toward the Perimeter and even all the way up into Alpharetta, So many business are heading wayyy north or wayyy south that many just don't want to make the trip to Philips. Hell, I don't like to fight traffic to go all the way downtown, pay $50 to sit upstairs sometimes, and sit next to people rooting for other teams. But...I do it anyway
