Is Gentrification to blame for the Brooklyn Nets WEAK home crowd?

[tremonthustler1]

sad

do they still play stick ball in the streets or open the fire hydrants in the summers? @NYC Rebel @tremonthustler1

open fire hydrants? Yes.

Stickball? not as much. It depends on where you live.

LOL parts of Flatbush still look like the first pic breh....hell parts of the Stuy and Crown Heights still look like that

They are here on Flatbush though.... shyt i seen hipsters in Sunset park this weekend as well. I know that gentrification slowed down for a bit since 2008 but I think its revved up again cause they are going deeper into brooklyn.

gentrification is responsible for the brooklyn nets' existence

Truth.

the NY sports scene, save for the knicks, is pretty dead.

the new stadiums have priced out the hardcore fanbase.

More truth.

put a brand new stadium and team around hipsters who don't care about sports then make tickets extra expensive for people that do care

Even more truth.

They still won't go to ENY and Brownsville though....I don't think they're that brave yet lol

this might be true with the 80s/90s NY Sports scene. but not in 2014 when 75% of the people in the city going to games, walking the streets etc are from Iowa, Kansas, and Missouri.


1993 Brooklyn - Norstrand Ave

2014 - Brooklyn Norstrand Ave

You don't have the 20 something's getting boozed up to go to Nets games. Plus games have become way more expensive and security at these games are wayyy more uptight nowadays.

Native NYers still get buck. Had Kyrie so shook he feared for his safety. Bloomberg just hated that element of the city so much because that element of the city hated him.

I tell everyone I know, go to Dyckman during summertime if you want that old feeling (or Rucker, but they don't get as turnt up).

at times, I'm thankful of this.

I'm there practically all summer whenever I'm not traveling. I don't know what Dyckman has planned this summer, but as long as Juelz keeps his mouth shut they'll have classics.
