Attendance numbers for each club (so far)

One imagines the discrepancy is the Prancing Pony bar

On their official Facebook page they said it was 10,000.

If Adelaide make it to the Grand Final (chuckle chuckle) and the place is packed with 10,500 fans I'll admit I was wrong.

Anyone have wnbl figures?

Perhaps 500 seats are taken out for Prancing Pony bar

For 36ers games the way its configured, the capacity is listed (by the 36ers themselves) as 10,000.

Thunderbirds are go

The Adelaide Entertainment Centre has an overall capacity of 11,300 which includes floor seating.

According to the AEC website, reserved seating is "up to" 10,500.

For 36ers games the way its configured, the capacity is listed (by the 36ers themselves) as 10,000.


The record sports attendances at the AEC are:

9,300 - 2010 ANZ Netball Grand Final. Adelaide Thunderbirds vs Bay of Plenty Magic (7 November 2010).

9,034 - 2019-20 NBL. Adelaide 36ers vs Melbourne United (11 January 2020).

Larger crowds have been reported for WWE shows at the AEC. Though that does include floor seating and its actually listed as entertainment rather than sporting.

Over 10500 at kings game.

Fantastic figure Zodiac.
If you said early in the season that Adelaide would get over 9000 to a game I would've said put down your crack pipe.

The Sixers got 9,034 tonight against Melbourne biggest ever crowd for an NBL game in Adelaide.

Sydney and Melbourne's crowds are fantastic when you consider where they were a few years ago. The Kings for years were only getting 3-5000 and a crowd of over 6000 was a big crowd then.

United - when they were the Tigers could not evem fill the Cage at times. The only team im Melbourne would struggle to get 3000 to a game. They've been doing great in the last few years but now they have the Phoenix as a second team, United are still drawing good crowds.

For both to average 8500 and 9500 approx is very good. Yes they spend alot to achieve this, but for basketball in a competitive market these numbers are pretty good.

All teams bar Illawarra are doing really well for crowds and Brisbane have improved a lot in the last month. Have they been doing something different to get more people in?

This is really interesting, considering that the league is looking for growth.

Cairns attendances figures look fantastic as % of population, but have they included Port Douglas, Palm Cove, Kuranda etc (and all population within a drive of an hour)

Sydney and Melbourne aren’t that great if population is used similarly, but there’s way more entertainment options.

Illawarra and Brisbane definitely poor.

Cairns figures are off the box scores. How accurate they are I have no idea :)

Cairns last 4 -

4392 v Breakers
4573 v Bullets
5135 v Phoenix (pretty much a sellout, only a couple of seats left, if any)
4265 v 36ers

Average 4591

I do believe capacity for basketball is 10,500

Cheers Zodiac.

NZ have taken home games to smaller regions and had good crowds for smaller venues

AEC's capacity as a live music venue is 11,300 but in basketball mode capacity is 10,500.

Adelaide Entertainment Centre's capacity is 10,000 but I don;t know if that is less when it's configured as a basketball venue.

Go easy, my son. Adelaide have beaten Perth twice in a row.

Go Plumlee and Cat's

Over 7000 for Adelaide isn't too bad.
Would that number be much higher if Adelaide were a quality team.
What is the capacity there?

Brisbane past 4 home games 5276, 4016, 4059, 4214. Average = 4391
I'd say that qualifies as near that number.

Where did you get your figures? Austadiums doesn’t reflect your figure

Yes the Cairns one was an error I meant 12 games.

Brisbane havent gotten near that number mate. Time to accept the Bullets revival has been a huge failure.

Credit to sem.

Cairns: 52,052 (8 games)

That's clearly wrong, CCC doesn't even hold 6,500!

Austadiums has 52,413 over 12 games @4,367

The no. of home games for most teams is wrong. Cairns average according to your figures is over their stadium capacity. Probably more errors too.

Cairns is like full every time.

It's top vs bottom on Thursday night. Marty has not won a game against the Breakers …… yet. Auckland has been a graveyard for the Sixers and under Marty’s tuleluge they are 0-5 at Auckland with an average score of 72:89. The Breakers have an impressive win rate on their home court that rivals the 82% win rate on Eden Park by the All Blacks. They have won their last 12 games, so let’s hope 13 is unlucky for them tonight as the Sixers carry their lucky rabbit’s foot to the stadium and setup a ladder for the Breakers to walk under.

Last time they played, the Sixers threw away a 21 point lead like a snobby Sloane Ranger squanderring his inheretence on fast cars, loose women and champagne. But, the recent road wins have shown that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Times have changed and the slight hope of finals is still lingering meaning I am as excited as Mitch Creek on social media.

Can the Sixers turn it around by 17 points? I believe they can snag another much needed road win. Gone is the straight jacket of offensive structure that has strangled the team like a boa constrictor around a gazelle. The new Laissez-faire offensive structure of the last few games has shown the true potential of the Sixers roster. Free flowing transition and a more direct approach to goal has yielded two road wins in a row and an optimism in the team that rivals a young man dating a mate's mum. Last time the Sixers had two road wins in a row a zitty Brett Maher had just started shaving and Scotty Ninnis was wearing Wawrick Capper’s shorts.

The villians of the Breakers need no introduction. Jackson is bagging 15.9 ppg, Corletto is shooting 3’s at 39.4%, Abercrombie is shooting 3’s at 38% and scoring 11 ppg, Pledge-hammer and Vukona are plucking boards at will. Let’s not forget Hudson. Hudson? What a find he has been for the Breakers.

The Sixers have shown they can run with both Perth and New Zealand and should go into the game knowing a win is possible. The only thing between a win and the Sixers is between the ears. If Marty snags a win here, perhaps Marcus Camby was right all along, maybe Marty the Mastermind does need another 3 years? Perhaps Marcus can ride his unicorn through a rainbow to the Arena.

The secret to winning is very easy, to quote another famous Breaker. “Shoot straight you b@stards! Don't make a mess of it!”

I’m going out on a limb here and tipping a massive upset. I just want to see Andre burst a vein in his forehead.
