NBL Average Attendances - 2011-12 Regular Season
Actually that was the Sydney Spirit

sorry Julian, they were just the H&A games I think.
The big number was Sydney. Just 1,374 per game in 2009 to and average of 5,341 in 2012. Amazing jump, but then again Sydney has been given publicity, lots of One (sux) coverage.
Overall, its pleasing to see numbers on the rise. An average of nearly 5,000 to the 36ers can only be good.


Julian, this is just the regular season attendances. And thanks everyone, your comments are very much appreciated.
Sydney, Adelaide and Cairns...what can you say there? The top 3 in average attendance didn't even make the finals while 2 of the finalists (Crocs & Blaze) are in the bottom 4 for avg attendances.....
Personally I think the biggest problem is the Gold Coast. When they can only draw 3,144 to a do-or-die Semi-final which is lower than their season average then they have serious issues in trying to draw a crowd.


Great work Holden V8. I don't have the 2011 seasons, but I believe the figure for 2009 and 2010 were:
2010 2009
ADL 4,715 4,666
PER 4,097 4,100
TOW 4,039 4,207
WOL 3,410 2,533
CAI 3,103 3,686
GCC 2,697 2,700
MEL 2,645 2,497
NZS 2,507 3,633
Sydney x 1,374
South x 5,031
