i was thinking $40, but either way the revenue remains more or less the same. what i was really wondering was the characteristics of the lower tier fans -- i would suppose a mixture of bleachers (motivated by price and recent performance) and courtside (loyal, discriminating, willing to pay to see high quality basketball even if the home team does not always win).

and i wonder if fans, who want to see victories, retain interest and loyalty if the losses are close, and / or if this is a characteristic of different fan levels. i'm pretty sure bleacher bums only care in victories or losses -- even when the team is in first place (this was my experience last season). if i am right, then my luxury boxes and courtside fans will hang tough, even if i don't win another game. i hope.

obviously my concerns are a reflection of the results thus far of this season. and i read on an earlier post that fan enthusiasm that comes with promotion will start to fade perhaps two-thirds into the season.

i'm on the clock.

Clean sweep. The Great 8 was at home and won every single game.

Looks like I may lose my next 5 league games


See, winning a game wasn't that hard :)

Machines beat me last season too, his team's got that x-factor.

Anyways, congratz, I know it's a 1-3-1, but double Prolific is still scary. Not looking forward to our next match in your house.

Haha, right, especially when you're playing at home with your A team and an enthusiasm of 11 against an opponent who is TIEing and playing his trainee. And my tactics also seemed to favor me in the game.

But I'll take it

What the heck?! I actually beat the Machines...first time since I've been in DII. Just so everyone knows Darky's achilles heel, it's LI + 1-3-1. Don't think about it, just do it.

I didn't realize you hadn't beaten my Machines yet. There's a first time for everything.

I didn't think the game was winnable, mostly because I was rolling with a soft trainee at C. You can imagine how upset I was that I was within striking distance in the last few minutes.

Should I continue painting this target on my back, or can you guys help out? It's kinda hard to reach back there.

I was gonna say you missed a spot. But this time around that target is self inflicted, it's what you get while you rock the top spot in your conference. :p
