Official crowd figure and National tv audience ratings

10,543 tonight.

It is. Left baseline and the upper corners are almost empty though.

Yes watching on TV. Can see a few scatteted empty blocks but it does look much bigger than game 1. Ok full house not the right term, but near capacity would be more accurate, going by how it looks on TV. Not sure if the 3rd tier is open as its too dark on TV to tell.

Game 2 looks like a full house
Please tell me you're watching on TV and not here at the venue. Bigger than last night but still probably in the 10k ballpark.

Game 2 looks like a full house however I wonder how many would be disappointed that both Mills and Bogut are not playing and the NBL guys getting a lot of court time (excluding Bogut who is still a big drawcard)

Seeing Mills, Bogut and Baynes (dnp game 1) would have been a big factor in the high ticket prices and to have them rest is not very fair. And i say that knowing that these are warm up games and managing your best players is important, so this is coming from purely the fans perspective that bought expensive tickets and have been somewhat undersold a product, for those that wanted to see the best players play.

Looked like a healthy sized crowd. Not sure what it was as I can't find any mention of the crowd figure but it looked like around 10,000 from the camera views. Didn't look as big as a Wildcats crowd but certainly not empty either.

Interestingly enough on the BA website, the box score listed the crowd at 3500. Why on earth would they falsely publish that? If you were to put a made up figure, surely you'd make your sport look good and say something like 10,000. BA can be such amateurs sometimes it's frustrating.

Just read FFA have got a TV deal with SBS and fox worth $160 mil, with $148 mil being cash, over the next 4 years which is more than enough to pay all teams salary caps and then some, which would be fantastic for Soccer,

if only the NBL could get a similar deal someday then teams would find it much easier to stay afloat if their biggest expense (player salarys) was covered by TV deal and then we could see some real stability and growth in the NBL, if only, hopefully someday basketball can make it happen,
