NO BULL: HAWKS TOP NBA ATTENDANCE RECORD FRIDAY NIGHT

3.30.1998

          The Bulls-Hawks game on Friday night at the Georgia Dome
     drew "a league-record crowd of 62,046," according to Lacy
     Banks of the CHICAGO SUN-TIMES.  The crowd topped the 61,983
     set at the Silverdome in '88 for a game between the Celtics
     and the Pistons (CHICAGO SUN-TIMES, 3/28).  Following the
     Bulls game versus the Bucks last night before a sellout crowd
     of 18,717 at the Bradley Center, Banks reports Michael Jordan
     has now played before a "career crowd total" of 20,008,642
     fans during 1,077 regular-season and playoff games (CHICAGO
     SUN-TIMES, 3/30).  Reviewing the week that was, Bob Kurson
     reported that the Bulls drew more than 110,000 paying fans in
     three road games last week (CHICAGO SUN-TIMES, 3/29).
