Spurs-Warriors upcoming Alamodome game has set new NBA attendance record

[Dog Based Gremlin]

Whole vibe was just different. Arenas, jerseys, not as much adds all over the place. Also I never understood why they got rid of the "NBA Playoffs" and "NBA Finals" logos, it looked great.

Likely because it's nostalgic

Most NBA teams dont "own' their arenas they lease them long term.

Usually they share revenue from concessions, parking etc.

While the teams claim most if not all revenue from ticket sales.

ok, I see ... still was advantageous for the Spurs ...


They had 2nd best attendance in the league when they won their 1st championship playing in the Alamodome ... and were still projected to lose money by staying there ... they were even starting to look for new cities to move to

But playing in a building that opened in 1993 and was constructed in an attempt to attract an NFL franchise, the luxury boxes in the Alamodome are too far from the basketball court to be lucrative for the franchise.

In November the Spurs released financial projections that showed the team would lose $15.6 million over the next three years by playing at the Alamodome.

They got rid of the "NBA Playoffs" and "NBA Finals" logos because it was nostalgic? Playoffs and Finals happen every year

Preventive measure against slipping. Is the official reasoning.

Hmm...kind of sounds like a bs reason, I watched tons of games back then and don't remember any slipping problem.
