With the economy beginning to take its toll on the Oklahoma City area economy, I think it's great that a market the size of Oklahoma City's continues to support the NBA.

Average attendance of OKC's NBA experiences:

Hopefully we will eclipse the 18,000 mark or inch near it when we play Memphis in our finale:

2010 17,995 Oklahoma City Thunder (attendance in process)
2009 18,693 Oklahoma City Thunder
2008 No NBA franchise
2007 17,833 New Orleans-Oklahoma City Hornets
2006 18,168 New Orleans-Oklahoma City Hornets

Who would have thought that the NBA could be successful in Oklahoma City when we barely averaged 17,000 when OSU and OU played in the All College Christmas Classic and our experience in the CBA saw a best year of 5,000 at the Myriad during the Calvary's existence.

Oklahoma City has come a long way in a short period of time. Thunder fans are to be commended!

It would take a sell out to average 18k for this year since 719815+18203=738 018/41=18,000.4. I have a pretty good feeling that the Memphis game will be a sellout

mee too!

Go Oklahoma City Thunder!!!

Here it is: 18,003 which is 98.9% capacity. Home attendance average was 12th best in the league...% full was 7th best.

Thunder ownership/management must be doing cartwheels.

The figures are indeed impressive. But being a big fella myself, the thought of Clay Bennet doing a cartwheel has me :LolLolLol

But hey, iffin he can, then
:bow:

I am a tad disappointed, however, that the attendance is based on ticket sales rather than people in the seats. Yes, I missed a couple of games during the ice storm but even on a nice nights, there are too many no shows. If you cant make a game, give somebody else your ticket. We truly need a home court advantage. There were way too many Laker fans at the two games that they were at the Ford Center this year and the first game they were far too vocal. Our fans drowned them out the second game which is what we need to do for the playoffs.

The figure have been released:

18,003 average.

^^^ thats great! there is a log jam of teams around 18k avg!

Also of note is the increase in road attendance this year over last, while it only went up from 87.2 to 88.3, I expect it to jump up some more with the draw of KD. To be in the top ten next season it will take a capacity of 99.6%, and that's not out of the question with a good number of bandwagon fans.

Throw in a 2 or 3 loss OU football season and you will see even more bandwagon Thunder fans at the games.
