Utah Jazz attendance numbers

Well, I hate people so that's why I don't go anymore. I'd rather lay on the couch with a big fat plate of nachos than sit next to a bunch of dumbass people that just piss me off.

What's wrong fat?

So Utah is a fair-weather crowd, good to know. I guess Durant is right.

Fair weather means only following when the team is doing well. That's not the case. The team is currently having an okay season, better than the last one, but attendance is (probably) dropping. In fact, pretty much everyone wants to see the team hand the keys to the youth as soon as possible, regardless of what it would mean to win-loss column. Being a fan does not mean blindly accepting every decision made by the team without hesitation.

Jazz ended up 13th in attendance this season, their worst ranking since they moved into the Delta Center (even accounting for number of teams).

New jumbotron will make everyone want to go though!

I still watch as many games as I can, but like many of us, I'm just less enthusiastic about the games and find myself doing other things while watching. I'm still as big of a Jazz fan as ever, but just find this version a bit uninspiring. Prior to this, I used to look forward to watching every game and was glued to the TV for most games. Frankly, I wanted to see the young guys play more and develop this year. That would have been much more interesting to me than watching us play boring basketball without any purpose and without any improvement. So long as we don't resign Al, the young guys should play more this coming year, which will make it more interesting from my perspective. But, until we get a real coach, our ceiling is only so high.

At least we are not in the bottom half of the league I guess. But I'm sure this is a big concern for the Jazz organization.

Isn't this a non-issue now that we have revenue sharing?

I would ask if this was a joke but I know better than to be so hopeful.

Durant said this about Utah?

Did anyone else catch the article last week about fanbase equity? Basically some economics geeks tried to calculate the good will of each teams fanbase given the teams attendance numbers compared to thier winning percentage and facotring in teh previous years attendance and attendance trends league wide.

The Jazz ranked 12, and had dropped from the previous seasons rankings. NY Knicks were #1.

I will try to find the article link.

In the realm of sports, brand equity can be thought of as capturing the size and intensity of a team’s fan base.

Basically, what we do is estimate a statistical model of team box office revenues as a function of the team’s winning percentage, team payroll, market population, arena capacity, number of all-stars, and other factors that capture the quality of the team’s product and revenue potential in a given year.

You would certainly hope market-size factors into this as well.

... and, how many tourists go to knicks games who couldn't give a ****? How many comp'd seats are in the Staples Center, filled by warm bodies that don't know **** about basketball?

I bet if Al, Paul, and Mo are let go, that our record will be worse and attendance will go up.

Ya know, I honestly believe the jazz FO believed we wanted what they gave us this year. I think they did what they did not because they thought it was best for the team but that they thought it was best for the fanbase. They think we want a competitive team no matter what. they don't give us credit for wanting, as fans, to watch great potential talent develop. They're wrong. They're way way wrong. We want to see our future Jazz team earn its comeuppance. We want to see these kids earn their stripes. That's what we want and if we don't get it next year this franchise is in a world of ****.

With the new variables of revenue sharing and demand-based pricing, it's hard to know what these lower numbers mean to the bottom line. I do think it's safe to say that the franchise can't be happy with the attendance numbers even if they believe it is somewhat expected.
