What don’t you get? It was a struggle this year to go to games. I share excellent seats with a friend and I hated going to games this year, and sometimes struggled to give tickets away. There are people with courtside seats who struggled to figure out 3 people to go to the game with. It felt like a chore at times this year.
Writing a check is one thing. It’s a single event, and if you have the money, fine. But the level of disinterest grew through this year. You think 2-3 more years and people will make the trek out to the games? They didn’t go this year, starting with the students. Feet on the floor seats were generally filled, but look just one row back. 2 rows back. Along the entire court opposite the benches, seats were empty.
And if we spend $12-15m on a team every 3-4 years like some of you suggest, we’re in the mix. There’s no guaranteed sweet 16 or better. So you get an injury to a superstar or they don’t click, it’s ok, wait another 3-4 years but keep giving, keep reaching for that rainbow.
Some of you people have no sense of reality.
