NBL Round 3 Attendance

Here is Round 3

Hawks vs Blaze - 3,693 @ WECin Wollongong
36ers vs Kings - 4,495 @ AA in Adelaide
Tigers vs Breakers - 3,500 @ SNC in Melbourne
Crocs vs Wildcats - 3,594 @ TEC in Townsville
Kings vs Hawks - 3,556 @ SEC in Sydney

Very surprised at the crowd at the SEC last night. Considering the Kings thumped Adelaide and the Hawks got hosed by the Blaze on Friday I would have thought more would show, especially considering its really the closest thing to a local derby the NBL has.

Good to see a decent crowd at the Hawks - Blaze game and another Melbourne sellout with Patty Mills playing, though they would have anyway playing NZ IMO. Makes me wonder what sort of crowds Melbourne would be getting in a venue like Hisense Arena.

World Cup final, Sunday night. That game was never going to draw a crowd.

Agree. World cup and the 7:30pm Sunday night tip off were always going to affect crowd numbers.

So 58 or 59 thousand after 15 games. Just short of 4000 a game, just where it was at this time last year from memory.

Last years numbers in Adelaide and Sydney were a miracle given how bad the teams were, if they can start winning, well the NBL needs them to start winning doesnt it.

I agree, World Cup final and later Sunday tip off was going to effect the crowd numbers in Sydney, but the crowd that DID turn up was pretty vocal, which is a nice change, really... as an overall number, it isn't so bad, but as a percentage of the capacity, not the best, but still, could have been worse... some of those old Wednesday night games were shockers...

Kings against Melbourne in two weeks should be pumping.

Does anyone have the TV Viewing stats for this season so far at all? Or how I can find them?

4500 for the sixers game, not a bad effort considering it was a friday night game with juniors on

Anyone who saw the Hawks v Kings game on Sunday night that CLEARLY the NBL is trying to get the Kings winning. Reffing was a piece of shit.

Yeah I did forget to take into account the RWC Final but the crowd at the SEC last night was still disappointing considering it was Sydney and Wollongong.

I am not going to comment on the refs.
