mcw during shootarounds. bottom right. this has an instagram edit.

 

[jgeorge322]

mcw getting announced. it is a bit hard to see him in there. the players run out of the locker room. there is also these fire cannons (for lack of a better term) behind the basket that flame up. no joke, you can feel the heat from the nosebleeds where i was

 

[jgeorge322]

heres the crowd. this was at the start of the game and it didnt get any bigger. my ticket cost $13 on stubhub. couldve gotten a lower for $20 or less outside the stadium. i won't do a full recap but mcw played alright. hes definitely an nba player. his length is exceptional for his position at the nba level. if his shot and strength continue to improve and he learns to play a bit smarter, i could see him being real good, potentially an all star.

jesus theres less than 500 there

 

[CusefanATL]

ouch

 

[Upstate]

They even have tickets for a nickel to these games.

Please don't confuse attendance at an NBA game with fan support and knowledge of the game. I can guarantee you that the 10K who were at the WFC last night were fans who know the game. Do you think the same can be said for the people who populate the AAA for Heat games? When the Orlando Magic were going to the Finals and games were selling out do you think anyone had a clue? Philadelphia has a rich basketball traditiona and culture rivaled only by New York. Public League, Catholic League, Inter-Ac League from playgrounds to driveways plus 6 DI teams. Just an example...http://www.philly.com/philly/sports...ball_great_Ernie_Beck_joining_local_Hall.html

While I definitely agree with you about Philly's great basketball tradition, it still begs the question, why is their arena half-empty for a game? It's the 6th biggest market in the country, the team is over .500 and has some buzz... what's the problem?

Not enough parking. And bad food selection.

Hard to explain, maybe a Philly thing!

But I lived in Miami for 10 years and a similar situation there as you can always get tickets to Dolphin games and the Canes, for all their success, have played in half empty stadiums for thirty years. But who has better HS and youth league football, nobody.

Philly for hoops and Miami for football - grass roots cities..

The team is over 500, but i can see not being too excited about going to a game when the team basically spent the entire summer telling you they have no interest in being any g ood this year

they're not supposed to be winning. mentally, philly fans have written off this year. after a decade of stinking but not bottoming out enough to turn it around, folks don't see a need to spend their time there. Ticket prices are irrelevant vs. the value of someone's time and what else they can be doing with it.

 

[CusefanATL]

leaves tend to be raked on wed nights in philly.

 

[CuseCrew08]

Man, I love sports. If I lived in Philly, I would be snatching up tickets all the time to these things. Especially with the cost being so low.

Why?

1. having lived there I can say that a big chunk of Philly is apathetic, lazy, and generally just have a piss poor attitude towards life. Miserable folk for the most part, though I can think of 1000 exceptions, people I am still friends with years later. But man that city is a downer. If Chicago is the '2nd city' then Philly is the 72nd despite it's size.

2. They play in the middle of nowhere and while there is a transit line going there, there is nothing else around and the subway is very slow and comes at very long intervals. More urban planning gone bad. They should have ripped down the drug ridden projects between Temple and the gentrifying parts of Fishtown (forget the name of the sub-neighborhood but a ton of nice, if generic, condo developments and retail going in there, lots of young people) and put the stadiums there.

ok, so i'll be the first to be defensive here. apathetic and lazy towards sports? not true for flyers, phillies and eagles...or for big 5 basketball. hell, when the flyers minor league team played across the street, they both sold out major arenas on the same night. they may not have the sunniest disposition, but that's not being lazy or apathetic. i think there might be an inferiority complex toward new york that brings some of the gruffness, but that's not being a downer

middle of nowhere doesn't make any sense to me, either. It's in the city, right off 95 and in great proximity from the jersey bridges and delaware.

sorry to be so negative on Philly. My wife was in grad school there and I was working from a home office and basically raising my kid by myself during our time there - so I didn't personally have the most fun. There were some sections of Philly we really liked, and as I said have made some lifelong friends there.

That said, the typical person I found there to be really pissed off at nothing in particular. Ask people what they like about the city and they say it's cheaper than NY and close to the jersey shore. Then the "main line" stuff was like boston but without the financial clout to back up the stuffy attitude. I found people there to be apathetic and lazy generally. They did show up for philly's and eagles games admittedly.

As for the stadium, it's at the southern edge of the city in an area with no redeeming qualities apart from the sports stadiums where they have clustered all of the major sports in one giant shopping mall style layout. The closest neighborhood with decent 'stuff' is passyunk square and that doesn't fit right for a sports crowd anyway.

Listen I think Philly is rapidly gentrifying into Williamsburg/brooklyn south, but just ranting because i had such a bad time there.

I was there that day in Dec '68. A loss to the Vikings. The Eagles actually won two games late that year to lose the OJ sweepstakes, settling for Leroy Keyes instead. Google him up, young people.

As someone who has lived 50 of my 60 years in the Phila area i have to admit that cuseinchina has some valid points. Philly is not for everybody and we do tend to have negative attitudes (pronounced attytoods). That's the result of sitting in the middle of NY and DC and being neither. And the booing thing, I have always felt that Philly fans feel a need to live up to the reputation.

Having bitched about it, part of me loves and misses Philly. We had some really great friends there and could afford to live in a house in a nice part of the city, not a little apartment like we have in NY. Halloween tricker treating in Society Hill was always fun because people sit outside on chairs and give fully candy bars to the kids and full glasses of red wine to the parents. My cuse hat was always welcomed given how many SU players have come out of Philly area over the years.
