NZ not quite breaking even; Cats profit $1m?
I just hope the Wildcats don't increase their season memberships. For my gold tickets it worked out at $44/game which for a 40 minute game is pricey... And finals tickets were $75

Wildcats are averaging 11.2k on the year but the membership and ticket prices are also some of the highest in the league. Actually, from memory of when I trawled through everyone's membership and ticketing options, they were the most expensive by a margin. I think they didn't have to make their own facilities though, WA State Government kicked in a lot on the State Basketball Centre.
Does anyone have details on how much merchandise the teams sell? Would have thought Breakers do good trade there.
As for the article, very well done for Di Fabrizio, agree with a lot of points. The social media points should be obvious, the 48min game option makes sense. I mean, on a per-minute basis, most NBL games get up by the NBA scores (higher than a number of games, too), but 80v70 scores just don't seem that high. Put the same length of time on, and suddenly the people who want to see scoring are seeing results more to their liking. That and some rule interpretations...
... god I hope the Wildcats play more O next season. Killed me watching all those missed shots through the year.
