You have to be in NYC right now to really understand. The gentrifiers who move here just aren't interested in Basketball. The poor immigrants who come here have no connection to Basketball. The people who live here now don't have the same emotional connection to this city as some of the 30 and over folks who have LEFT NYC.

Nobody wanted them in Newark. Not the Nets and especially not the Devils
Doesn't help that the stadium is wack and they charge prices comparable to MSG for an inferior basketball product and overall consumer experience.
You acting like them Jersey muthafukkas wont jump on that bandwagon once the Nets get hot
Yup. Stadium is too small to give you that same feel as MSG, and the seats are too tight. Watching a sports game there just isn't a comfortable experience. But I think they'll always be able to make money off of concerts and events.
Sounds Exactly How They Were As The New Jersey Nets
most irrelevant team in the league
no-fan base
-empty crowds night in and night out
why did the NBA think Brooklyn would compete with the KNICKS, who are arguably the biggest thing in NYC..
cut your losses and now and get rid of this franchise
the NBA thought people in Brooklyn would gravitate to them and have civic pride, but didnt realize this isnt the 1990s anymore, Brooklyn is 90% midwestern cac's...
You are obviously not from NYC let alone BK... nikkas mush you in your face out here just because..
That area making so much money off hockey and other events.. That move was a home run

Change is inevitable...
When they actually become good and they don't trade away their draft picks for stupidity, everyone in this thread will be on that organizations dikk

Reread the last sentence you dumb muthafukka -only team immune to that is the Knicks
Ticket prices rising is also a factor in this. People are less inclined to spend their hard earned cash to go to a game when the team is buns breh. And as well as the Mets have performed over the past couple seasons, they are still the #2 baseball team in NY.

The same p*ssy Lin who was afraid to play in the playoffs against Miami?
You were referring to ticket prices, not attendance.
