    Pretty exciting game. Chris Paul is a beast. 37 points, 13 assists, 3 steals.

    Attendance for Bulls game: 14,337

    Average attendance from December 1 to tonight: 14,093

    Your math comes into question.

    They beat their average, but their average goes down? You had it at 14,084 after the last home game.

    What am I missing?

    After inspecting the problem closely, the only conclusion I can come to is that maybe I have dyslexia. Problem solved.

    I edited my post to reflect the correct number. :thumb:

    The Hornets have to average 19,550 the remaining 4 home games to reach that magical 14,735 number.

    What is their capacity?

    Thanks, DH. I failed to see the 2 remaining home games in March.

    So now the calculation yields: 17,731. Which I would guess is very doable. Knicks and Clippers games might be tough to hit a good number (especially the Knicks game).

    Is capacity about 18,200?

    Based on this website with all NBA arenas, the capacity is 24,042.

    Awesome 4th quarter comeback last night and I enjoyed seeing Les Miles join in on the fun sitting next to Shinn. Jordy also did a halftime interview with Les.

    They've listed other games as sellouts a few times this season, but the only game this season that they said was a complete sellout was the Lakers game on Friday. The attendance for that game was 18,199.

    I do not know what the actual capacity is because all the sellout games are listed with different attendence figures. I found a ticket site that said it was 18,500 which is closer to the 18,199. I would say that maybe they do not count some of the capacity in the box areas when determining if it is a sellout.:huh:
