Meh. Tuesday night game against a non-flashy team on a cold and rainy night. Pic taken during first few minutes of the game when everybody is either stuck in traffic or paying their tab at the bar. Also, that's a pic of the club section which is always a little sparse on weekdays.

Took the words right out of my mouth. Although I would have added that the blame shouldn't be just a fan issue. The NBA is like, a business man and the fans are customers and stuff.

Dude, that's what I was thinking too but forgot to write it down or whatever.

The ticket prices are high this year so its stick to the nosebleed section or pay through the nose like 60-120 dollars per person and its on a Wednesday night too.

"A NOT SO FLATTERING PICTURE OF THE HAWKS CROWD"

What crowd? I don't see a crowd.

[macdaddy]

Its sad really. I mean I'm not seeing that kind of emptiness anywhere else we are playing. the friggin Bucks seem to have good crowds.

That said, the club section is just suck town. Most of those seats are probably sold to season ticket buyers who just sit on them.

Yeah that's pretty bad. Although at least Detroit has the excuse that the city is bankrupt. I look at the bucks and raptors crowds and they seem pretty good. Oh Well Atlanta will show up if we become a contender.

This city has never supported the Hawks and we had Moses and Nique!

Yes they did.

The city never supported the pretenders. Never have, never will. Why is it that HS guys love these hard working losers.

I see no light at the end of the tunnel.

We could have Moses and Jesus and they still wouldn't support us!

Uhh no the old Hawks teams of the 80s had lots of awful crowds. Better than we have now but I went to plenty of empty games at The Omni. Hawks games have always had poor fan support in Atlanta.

Its really great news. If any of the vultures from cities like Seattle who want to poach our team want to fly watch an NBA game, they can fly to Atlanta and there will be plenty of seats.

[capstone21]

Atlanta is notorious for not going to the games....

It has always been an announcer joke

The fans that do show up cheer for the other team.

Old and New Testament...together at last!

We hear this every year.

Wrong. Moses' first year as a Hawk, 88-89, saw attendance spike to 15,714 a game. Not to be equaled again until 2006 when the owners started fabricating attendance figures. (one year in the GA dome as an exception).

So Moses did and probably could still make a difference.
