They couldn't sell out a home playoff game against the Heat! There were reportedly huge chunks of empty seats in the upper bowl. On TV, it's conspicuous how few of the fans are in team colors. I am guessing some of that is due to their ugly uni's, but there's clearly a ton of fan apathy there. That doesn't bode well for their desire for a new downtown arena, and we all know where that discussion leads.
They have just woefully miscalculated the benefits of mediocrity, instead of deciding to get bad to give themselves a shot at getting good.
I pretty much expect to see more or less this same post on another team's message board after next season. Written about the Wizards.
I understand the comfort in the cynicism, but no. Wizards fans show up. Even if there are big swaths of opposing fans for marquee opponents, those games always sell out. Our playoff games were always sold out, loud and proud during the EJ years. If we make the playoffs next year the atmosphere will be phenomenal -- DC is an event driven town.
