This year, they set records for both total tickets sold (22,538,518) and average attendance (18,324). NBA sets all-time records for attendance and sellouts in 2023-24 That's a more than 140% increase in total tickets sold and a 91% increase in average attendance. The WNBA, on the other hand, saw a 32% decline in average attendance from their first season (9,684) to last year (6,608). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you didn’t actually go to LSU, but you make the rest of the folks from Louisiana look worse with your nonsense. If you had any integrity I’d bet you on whether or not the wnba becomes self sufficient in the next decade, but you’d weasel yourself out of paying anyhow. Betting on them doing so is something only an idiot would do. We have a few decades of history that’s a pattern. A pattern of losing money. Clark isn’t the first chick who could shoot the ball and be declared the savior. Just the latest in a long line of others who end up going overseas to make a liveable wage.

I simply pointed out a television station (CBS) had to bail out 16 of the 23 teams in the NBA in 1981. The NBA was founded in 1946. 😄 No women's professional sports teams are going to overthrow the men's professional teams anytime soon, but then again thar was NEVER the issue here.

It’s cute that 17K showed up to watch a women get drafted but their average of 4K per game (with 2K+ dressed as empty seats) tells th real story. Good stuff. By the way, big Womens supporter you are and all, which team do you have season tickets to? Who jerseys do you have? What type of support do you provide for the shitshow other than making stupid arguments on a message board where a grand total of about a dozen people interact with you, most of those people being your multiple personalities?!? I’m curious. what you’ve got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bottom line is Caitlin Clark deserved much better and others before her deserved much better. Interesting 👇 Is what it is. In 1970-71, the NBA reported to Congress that its total revenue was only $32.3 million. That is only about $244 million in today's dollars.
