NBA team relocations ?

[rh71]

I don't follow basketball AT ALL and I hear about this Memphis team... whoa.. I thought basketball had enough of a fan base to not warrant a move from ANYWHERE... even Denver. THen I look at NBA.com and noticed the New Orleans Hornets... what happened to Charlotte ?

Bad ownership and bad attendance equaled team move to New Orleans.

Heh, I know this is pathetic, but this is the first that I have heard of this too!

Yet Charlotte is getting a new team.

their playoff games had fans only 20 rows deep, you could see the whole stadium was empty in when the games were televised.

Damn the entire state of NC sucks then... cause the Hurricanes can't draw anyone either...

And Memphis is any better? LOL....

The only time Memphis sport events have had good turnouts is when FedEx gives thousands of their employees free tickets (Griz games, U of M football/basketball games, etc).

Maybe this new arena, whenever it will be finish, might change things.... or it might just be another waste of tax payer dollar that could have gone to our $hitty school system, maybe even the police force to cut down on crime :frown:

Well the Titans don't suck like the Grizzlies do. The Pyramid gets good turnout for WWE events from what my cousins tell me

True, but is "Professional Wrestling" considered a true "sport"?
