I knew Indiana was on the decline after the brawl and this was the reason they traded away alot of their players for "white" players, but things have gotten worse. Maybe that brawl had too big of an impact on the fans.

Hm that's strange. I mean their teams are bad but those guys are die hards.

The team didnt lived up to their expectations last year...*cough*Mussleman*cough* But I expect the attendance will go up(Prolly consecutive sellouts) if we going to have a BIG run this last half of the season....

Indiana only cares about the Hoosiers, and Kings fans only show up when they're playing well.

Being a resident of Indiana, I can safely say that high school basketball has been pretty damned competitive lately and has probably drawn casual fans away from the Pacers...I mean, in recent years, we've gotten to see players like Eric Gordon, Josh McRoberts, Greg Oden, Mike Conley, and even other kids like Rodney Carney in recent years for $4 a person.

Plus, add in that a lot of fans find it hard to support the Pacers after the past couple of years and are looking for a great reason to support them going forwar

The Pacers are currently going through what the Blazers had to go through around 03-06.

For exception of this season...We had the longest active sellout streak in the NBA of 360+....(Including the 33-49 season, we sold ALL 82 games....so...)

That's just not even close to the truth

Didn't you guys make the playoffs before that 33-49? That's why you guys still soldout..playoffs = more season tix or in your guys' case, renewal of season tix.

Still got some loud fans even with the low attendance numbers, so w/e.

Yeah, that could be the reason....But regardless, we still love our Kings.... Our crowd could be loud as a sellout even though we are not selling out...That's the beauty of Arco Arena...

Because when Mike Dunleavy is your leading scorer, you're not exactly going to draw a lot of fans to your games.

We love him here, the problem is we are so tired of Tinsley we don't even wanna watch it on TV let alone pay to watch them.
