New Arena: Back to Detroit: Same Terrible Attendance for Pistons

[thatrapsfan]

Didn't know Detroit had a new arena.

City must not be doing that bad anymore

I hear its gentrifying. They got a white mayor for the first time in like 3 decades :mpls:

Little Caesars

Wings moved from Joe Louis and pistons from the palace

Didn't know Detroit had a new arena.

City must not be doing that bad anymore

12 years???, nikka we won a ring without a single "star" player, im not a Pistons fan cause they have intentionally avoided potential stars in drafts more than a few times, Darko was my last straw wit them nikkas.

Grant Hill was our last star, so more like 20 years

You could argue we had four stars with sheed Ben Chauncey and rip as they were looked at as a collective group of talent. Like how Memphis had Conley/gasol/zbo/allen

Like others have said in the thread, winning cures all. We've been trash for so long the fans don't trust them. If we make some noise in the playoffs this year, the fans will come to support. I mean, we were 1st in attendance from 03-08.

Got to win to draw fans. Also team needs to create a identity.

As a Hawks fans with 50+ wins and still empty seats, I disagree.

Naw, this is a different case.. Pistons have no fan base.. the crowds have been embarrassing the last 10 years

Cause they've been shytty the last 10 years. No one was gonna drive all the way to auburn hills to see a shytty team. And after being trash for so long a lot out fans just don't care about them. Now they gotta work their way back to showing they worth the price of admission in the city

Pistons fans are front runners. Nobody will fukk with them when they're down. Clearly #4 in the pecking order behind the Lions, Tigers and Wings.

They don't even really have to win, it's that the Pistons suck at creating false hope. Lions been finessing us for years with glimmers of hope only to crush our dreams and yet Ford field still selling out.

Well the team has been embarrassing the last 10 years

No they weren’t

 

[WMG the 2nd]

No they weren’t

Pistons were top five in attendance from 03-08 when we had hat core
All four were multiple time all stars
Big Ben was all nba
Chauncey was a finals mvp
Ben Wallace was top ten in jersey sales as well while being a four time defensive player of the year
Nba 2k cover athlete
fukk you talking bout

And Gasol is more popular then any of them

Stars draw crowds we haven’t had a star in 12 years
Atlanta was having 60 win season and couldn’t sell out their arena

Thread ain't about Atlanta WOAT :harrymad:
