    Just wanted to get everyone's opinion on how much of an increase in attendance will "linsanity" bring to Toyota center? Does anyone forsee sellouts? I think attendance will trend up drastically but who knows.

    I see three sell outs.

    One vs Miami, and two for LA, although I don't think LA even sold out.


    But if you want to see those games, and I think they may be sold out, look on flashseats for some. Buy mine please. Yes, I am butt raping, so I will not advertise here.

    We didn't even sell out with Yao, a bigger star with much better skills.

    The preseason games haven't had good turnouts. If that's an indication then it's not looking good.

    Why do Houston fans suck so much?

    2012 attendance per game:
    Portland Trailblazers = 20,478
    Charlotte Bobcats = 16,981
    Houston Rockets = 13,823

    Wow.

    Because our management if not really realistic. In year we are going to be down instead of investing the future with their fans and televising as many games as possible to get fans on board the F.O is allowing Comcast to rape the fans and holdout for more money. Not the best plan as far as I am concerned. Just my 2 cents.

    Football is king. Reliant has always been full, even during the bad years. Can't say the same about the Rockets.

    Sorry, those were numbers for the first half of the season.

    http://espn.go.com/nba/attendance/_/year/2012

    Still 22/30 though. I like how some teams averaged overcapacity every game. Hey, at least we're not the Pistons...

    No, it was sold out, but it was pretty bare. They either didn't show up, or hung outside in the parking lot.


    Even during the championship years, the Summit was not sold out.
