Florida Crowds...

I know it is against the T Wolves but would think with team throwing down tons of money on LBJ, Bosh, and Wade the place would at least be sold out. Seems like a lot of empty seats in the lower bowl. Florida horrible sports state?

Florida sports is about the Dolphins and everyone else is second. It's a Tuesday night against the Wolves, who wants to watch that?

You have to remember that Florida is unlike most states as people often are not born here but move here so often they move here as fans for other teams.

Also lots of them seats are sold but people here come late, if show at all.

Finally there is a lot to do here in South Florida so lots of competition for that $

I am not the biggest basketball fan, but if the Raptors got those 3 players of that talent, I would watch every game. It's not everyday, your team can assemble a "fantasy" team of sorts, so it does surprise me that it wouldn't be sold out.

You'd go to every game or watch every game?

They will sell out most games when it matters

I would go to say as many as realistically I could, maybe 5 or so. With the Raptors, I haven't gone to any in 7 years, so if they had those 3 players, I would go to the games. Also, when I didn't go, I would try to watch every game on TV, as this isn't something you get everyday or every year.

Im sure most Heat fans watch most games on TV. When I said who wants to watch that I meant live, as in pay for tickets every single game

always go back to Bill Simmons take on current home crowds. Saying most organizations have priced the true sports fans out of the arena filling it up with people who just like to be seen. Guessing he is pretty accurate with that statement.
