NBL and the Summer Season
My main problem is midweek games, I look at the program every season to determine if I will buy season tickets. When a third of the games are wednesday nights (plus New Years Eve which I have never understood) I can't consider buying them (because I play social bball wednesdays). It is easier to hand off your season tickets for a weekend game if you can't make it for any reason than a Wednesday.
I wasn't into the basketball in the days when it was played in the winter but agree that it is easier to make a commitment to it in the winter months. I thoroughly enjoy going to ABA games in the winter months together with overcoat, scarf and gloves because it is so freezing cold in the stadium but acceptable because that's what you expect.
The problem with winter is that it competes with football and football would definitely take fans away from the basektball.
