The game last night against Charlotte

[Vol4ever]

I was in section 308 last night and it didn't look like we had 6,000 fans. Guess things haven't changed from the 80-90s.

The attendance was listed as 14,701. It looked a lot less than that.

That might have been purchased tickets but the place was half empty and they had the 400 section up high curtained off.

You won't see the AJC write about that though. They need to write an article on "Bandwagon Fandom". Then again, those are the same writers that don't mind take as shot at the Hawks at all. Schultz's article on how the Hawks choked against Cleveland is still on the main Hawks page on http://www.ajc.com/sports/atlanta-hawks That was almost a month ago.

They even have a hockey article by Mark Bradley in the Hawks section. It's really sad.

It shows how much that hometown paper, and some of the people in Atlanta, care about the Hawks. People say that the Hawks should do more promotion outside of ATL. But it's sad when Georgia's biggest newspaper don't give the Hawks the credit that they're due.

65% of the fans that go to Hawk games are real Hawks fans. The other 35% go to the game either to see the other team, or because it's the "social thing to do".
