When I go to games, even ones that are packed in other cities, I don't
see a lot of fans decked out in their team's gear, I see a lot of yuppie
businessmen who have decided that the NBA game is the place to be seen. They
could care less what happens on the court, as long as they can glad-hand the
rest of the "important" people.
The wife and I have noticed this at the Blazer games since the start of last season. Lots more douchebags, for lack of a better word, are showing up. Last season we had courtside tickets to a game and the young couple sitting next to us (read: too young to own the seats) showed up halfway through the second quarter and immediately started ordering a bunch of white wine.
If that's who's keeping attendance up in Portland, then the league has problems.
