On the other hand, people are buying tickets. They are just choosing not to attend the games. I'm sure Heat management is more than fine with that. It goes back to the point that there is so much going on down there. People have too many choices on how they are going to spend their evenings. I'm guessing the thought of watching the Sacramento Kings stumble through 4 qrts of basketball wasn't attractive to a lot of people

like_that;688635 wrote:"HAHA" yeah I have. I have also been to locations 100x better than south beach. If i lived in those locations and had the choice between watching my team/super stars, or doing the same thing i could do the rest of the week, i think i would choose to watch my team and the superstars. Fact of the matter is, you can't go to the beach at night, and the clubs and other regular activities will ALWAYS be there. The NBA season and a great team will not always be there.

karen lotz;688690 wrote:I do understand what you are saying KR, but when you compare Chicago, New York, and LA to Miami, you have to factor in the population of those cities. Miami has around 500,000 people. Of the 3 others, Chicago is the smallest with almost 3 million.
And before you come back with the Cleveland argument, Cleveland has roughly the same population as Miami.

Midstate01;688724 wrote:You actually think a crowd drives an NBA game??? I've been to some games at the Q that were loud... But not crowd noise loud. Like when the opposing team has the ball, there's no yelling or loud noise. It's rap music.
It does change some in the playoffs. But it's still nothing like a college game.

I wish they would just let the crowd dictate the sounds of the game, not playing stupid chants like "De-fense, De-fense" or stupid slot machine noises when someone makes a free throw or something.
