According to Brian Mahoney of the Associated Press, the attendance was announced as 16,588, which is well below MSG's capacity of 19,812. It was the team's lowest announced attendance since Dec. 13, 2006.
It's worth noting that attendance numbers are announced as tickets sold, not the number of fans who are actually in attendance. The broadcast of the game showed large swaths of empty seats.
It's interesting in that it states 'tickets sold' and not the number of fans who are actually in attendance.
Think it has anything to do with the Jazz - although good - are rather vanilla and that's been their rap for years and are a Western Conference team - i.e. not a conference/division rival?
I mean - I get where this is going - they've received backlash - but I'm thinking if this were the Lakers/Rockets/Sixers/Celtics this wouldn't have been the case.
