Turnstile Tracker: Pacers, 76ers Making Strides At The Gate
NBA Eastern Conference attendance through December 8 is almost flat with last season compared to the same period last year, as it is up less than 1%. The Pacers, who have a 7-13 record, are showing the largest attendance growth at 15.7%, while the 76ers and Hawks are also up by double digits. Despite the attendance uptick, though, the 76ers are the lowest team in terms of drawing capacity crowds, as just less than 68% of the 20,318-seat Wachovia Center is filled per game. The following presents Eastern Conference attendance through December 8, with comparisons to the same period last season (THE DAILY).
