Melbourne crowds are up this season !

"Will be interesting to see how many fans they can attract to the Margaret Court Arena when they start playing there."

They've already played there. It was less than half full.

Once again, how much more is the rent?
The crowd numbers going up are meaningless, unless its compared to the extra outlay for rent and extra incurred overheads.

"Melbourne giving tickets away is better than haviong empty seats. Get people to come along for the first time - then you've got to put on a show so they want to come back."

So long as the tickets are going to grassroots players and families that wouldn't normally attend NBL games, you're absolutely correct. This applies yo all clubs except Perth and perhaps NZ.

Hawks are the big worry and disapointment. The new ownership brought big hopes and some more promotion and on line activity but their supporters have all gone to the beach. ( a bit liek their performances)

Maybe their ( we are poor and so have to work harder for everything) culture has been spoit with a guy splashing cash around!

Townsville of course need their community to decide if they really want to see elete level basketball or not.

"Admittedly, many games were played at the Cage last season"
All of the first four were. It's a completely meaningless comparison.
