magicbalala245 Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 There was a sellout crowd of 21,232 at the United Center. The Bulls lead the NBA in attendance and have sold out all eight of their home games. Does this shock anyone since they haven't played any top teams at home beside's Orlando & Denver? If you want to consider Denver an elite team in the NBA but of course you got the Melo factor which draws people to the arena also? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest STL10 Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 Doesn't shock me at all. Bulls have the most dedicated fans in the NBA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenIverson#1fan Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 This surprises me a bit. But, considering they have a lot of young talent and good players which attract people to watch and D-Rose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Truth Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 Bulls always have the best attendance. they've had the most dedicated fans in the game since the early 90's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballorama Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 The buzz going into this season was a bit higher than most.. Chicago had a pretty good offseason.. plus D-Rose is getting better each year. I expected alot of people to show up.. but it's surprising they are leading the NBA for sure.

Personally I think the Bulls could draw 19,000 a game with 12 Scalabrine's out there, but that's just their INSANE level of dedication to the Bulls.

Multi-Billionaire Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 (edited) ^lol Bulls are the most dedicated... I remember after 1998-99 season (MJ's 2nd retirement), they still sold out ALL of their home games for about 3-4 seasons when they were missing playoffs, before they "sold out" streak ended... but a solid crowd still turned out... that said something. Most dedicated fanbase, yes. Largest fanbase? No... it belongs to Lakers. lol Edited December 5, 2010 by Multi-Billionaire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.1.A.K. Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 definitely surprising that they lead the league in attendance. i do wonder if its total attendance or attendance per game... either way it does surprise me. i would have guessed a team such as the Lakers, Heat, Magic, Mavericks Celtics etc. would have been leading the way...

It's home attendance and looking at their schedule only teams that are powerhouse are Orlando and Denver if you consider Denver a powerhouse team. And that is crazy sold at all 8 home games.

Erick Blasco Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 I doubt that there are better fans in the league than Bulls fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poe Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 I think the NBA should incorporate a system where higher game attendance increases the team's cap. That way dedicated fan bases will be rewarded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lkr Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 this is the same city that has the Bears, Cubs, and White Sox selling out when they are all having losing seasons, so it does not surprise me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that is crazy sold at all 8 home games. i know its home attendance... but say another team has only played 7 home games... and the Bulls have played 1 or 2 more than them. thats why i wanted to know if it was per game or total attendance.

TheHutch Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 I think it's even more surprising that the Cavaliers are 2nd in attendance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gooner Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 It's not surprising considering the Bulls were up there even after the dynasty broke up and they were struggling to win 20 games a year. We have the biggest arena in the league and a city with a crap load of people = high attendance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
