Man we really had terrible crowds in the early 80's.

[Guest]

how were arena sizes/capacity in the early 80's? The Omni held how many?

[Guest]

I don't know how many the Omni seated...But I'm

sure Phillips is bigger so a smaller crowd probably

looks worse now than it did then.

[Guest]

The strange thing is that some of our better years

came after Nique was traded.Which says he might

not have made the huge impact with the fans that

some want to think.

[Diesel]

I've said it before.... We didn't have great times attendance wise with Nique.

The Omni could hold 16,400.

I think the Phil can hold 20,000.

From the list, Dominique did Boost Hawks basketball, but fans were still shy about coming out.

[Guest]

Wasn't 97-98 the year we had the huge crowd for

MJ?What was the attendence that game?

To get the fans here they are going to have to feel

the team really has a shot at a title.Honestly,if we

win we might have a better shot of selling out now

because of the people that are moving to Atlanta

that wasn't here before.

Even Knick fans would probably have came out to

see Nique....Laker fans aswell.
