Pistons Struggling To Fill Arena Despite
Having Second-Best Record In NBA |
Though the Pistons currently have the NBA's second-best record at 26-8, the team is "not selling out games like they have in years past" at the Palace of Auburn Hills, according to Jon Machota of the DETROIT FREE PRESS. The Pistons "change the consecutive sell-out streak banner every game and announce the event as sold out, but every seat is clearly not filled." Though many tickets are being sold for "less than normal face-value, making it convenient to get a decent upper bowl seat for only $10," the upper-level has "been the area hit hardest." The 200-level is "usually the hub for energy at Pistons' games," but that area has been a "good spot to take a nap during the first few months of the season." Many fans cite the poor local economy for the lack of turnout, but Tigers games during the middle of the week "will be near capacity." Machota: "Fans are bored with the Pistons during the regular season. ... They expect long playoff runs and know that is when the real Pistons' season begins" (FREEP.com, 1/4).
