Poll: What would it take to get you back in the arena.

[Lrenfro]

I love this poll. I post it every year. I truly believe that the play of our teams has a lot to do with attendance. IMO Basketball is 90% mental. If you feel no one cares then you start not to care.

Now to the Poll. I am sure 4 years of high hopes and empty promices has taken its toll on everyone. For the past few years we have been given everything we have asked for but a wining record. We have changed the whole team twice we have had two (Now Three) Coaches. We got rid of all of the players we complain about. We got all stars on the team. The team is majority healthy. We have a new arena. We even have new owners. Now I think back and I can only think of 3 constants. Thats Stan, Pete and Hendu. Now that we know changing either one of these constants will change nothing for this year or even next year. What would it take to please you as a fan. What would it take to make you a true fan. Yes I said it. If you are not a season ticket holder or attend at least 30% of the home games (about 12 games) Then we are not true fans. I say we. I can only account for about 5 Home games thus far to include Preseason.

Ok Ok no more bordum. Bottom line the Team needs us.

When the team starts being sucessful and is a legit

contender.There is no one certain player,it's winning

that I care about.

You say you are boycotting? How. How many games did you go to last year? How many games have you been to up unto the boycott? How are they going to tell the difference between the boycott and the attendance before. I think for the most part the only people there are season ticket holders and people that get free tickets. Not to include fans of the other teams that come through. How would you know you are putting together a successful boycott? How do you know we are not already boycotting?

If I lived in Atlanta, I'd be a yearly season ticket holder and go to every game that is played when I'm not on call at the hospital.

In fact, when I do my orthopedic residency, I hope to train in Atlanta.

boycott? hehe more like lazyness, don't feel like using energy to go see the hawks lose but i would sure as [censored] come if they got a superstar.

It worries me. Every day we are on this board complaining. Suggesting what the team should do to please the fans. However it seems that we are not willing to support our team. Support is needed when you are winning or loosing. But they need you more when they are loosing. Anything or anyone that needs support needs it most when they are week. A cruch is there until they are strong enough to stand on thier own. The Hawks need us until they are strong enough to play in the arena without us.

You ask why the Hawks can't defend the Home court. What Home Court? We do not have a home court. When they are in the arena 80% of the people are cheering for the opposing team. Those that are there for the Hawks just sit there. Do you know how bad I feel when I am at the arena and I am out cheered by most of the arena.

The Hawks need us now more than ever. We need home court advantage sometimes.
