Alba Berlin was the league leader with an average attendance of more than 10,000 fans as the Basketball Bundesliga (BBL) again broke the 1.3-million attendance mark during the '12-13 regular season. Alba drew a total of 170,535 fans, well above second-place Brose Baskets Bamberg's 115,600. A total of 1,312,909 people attended the 306 regular season games. The number equaled an average attendance of 4,291. BBL CEO Jan Pommer said, "We have, on a high level, confirmed the trend of last season -- and I'm conviced that the fan interest will be undaunted for the very interesting playoff matchups." The previous record from the '11-12 season of an average of 4,322 people per game was missed by only 0.7% (BBL).
