Hawks Franchise can take advantage of it's Market

[Diesel]

I found out some facts about our beloved team...

Quote:

---

The Hawks recently ranked No. 7 for overall fan experience in a survey by USA Today, and the National Basketball Association's own internal scorecard on the team has improved from a C- to a solid B+.

And even the on-court performance wasn't as abysmal as it looks on paper -- six of the 69 losses occurred in overtime, and 21 games were lost by just five points or less.

This is a good selling point especially when you consider that we were dead last win wins/losses....

If you think about the top 10 fan markets: (in no order)...

Suns

Spurs

Lakers

Knicks

Pistons -Loudest Arena

Heat (w Shaq)

Houston

Dallas

If you consider those teams, the Hawks are better than 2 of them?

Good article. I think I remember hearing that alot

of increase in fans was after the allstar game. Pretty

impressive for a team that has no hope of the playoffs

by that time.

Although, I can't believe they expected 20+ wins.
