Percentage of seats filled probably tracks the percentage of Pelicans starters available to actually play over the years. Why buy a ticket when Zion might arbitrarily decide he doesn't feel like playing that night, and we are always missing 2 or 3 other legitimate NBA players? On top of that they installed the laser-like rotating lights that blast most of the spectators in the eyes throughout the game, downgraded the dance team and food and music, and of course raised the prices for tickets and parking. We get the officiating shaft 90% of the time and almost always lose the few games I have attended post-Covid.

Some NBA players want the commissioner to nuke the team.

But the attendance is a black eye. The team doesn’t give the fans much reason to want to go to games though

I think Joe Dumars is a NBA plant to run the Pels into the ground to ensure that when Gayle Benson dies (less than 10 years), the team is bought and moved to either Seattle or Las Vegas. They need to kill all fan interest so that they can say, “O , the market just isn’t there for the NBA.”

“At a franchise level, the Pelicans have never spent into the luxury tax, although they’ve not had a team that would justify such an expenditure since Chris Paul left, and play in what is arguably the league’s worst arena. The team is a distant third in the sport fandom hierarchy of a small market, far behind the Saints and LSU. While Benson insisted in a recent interview that the team was not for sale, it’s not hard to find people in the league who wonder how long the franchise can realistically continue in New Orleans”.
