People had bailed on Grant and the team was miserable. The last 4-5 home games you could hear a pin drop.

There are no disclaimers. It is what it is.
Either basketball attendance this year was "about 4,000 per game" or it wasn't.
I don't see what's so difficult about that.
Take it or leave it.

I think they did, honestly. The next season was probably a bit better, but not much. People just decided they weren't going to support the program anymore. At the time seeing all the empty seats was embarrassing, but I truly think it had a lot to do with the decision to get rid of him.

Must be an April Fools joke.
Bama rarely ever has more than 4-6K in seats. More likely 2000 is the actual number.
tickets sold =\= fans that watch.
As an LSU fan I can attest to that. After all, we count every fly that lands on a chair in the box as an attendee.

That's just silly. 95% of the SEC games have more than 4-6K in the seats in years in which we are competitive.

Do I believe you that our actual average, butt in seat attendance is only 4,000 per game? Not even a little bit.

The LSU, Auburn, and Kentucky games were full meaning that there was 45000 people total in those games. It would take 6 games of ZERO people to bring that 9 game average down to 5000 per game

I agree, but UCLA has become pretty pathetic for a "blue blood". Their attendance is awful.

I would. There's no way in hell we average 4k in attendance.

I am sure you will go on to argue that the fact is not real though, for 15 pages

NYC literally picked by far the worst attendance year in Alabama basketball history (CAG's last season) and thinks that is the norm every year or most years. Laughable how little he actually knows but claims to know more than people who have actually been going to games for 30 years. I can't speak for most of the non conference home games, but for as long as I can remember Alabama has averaged well over 10,000 butts in the seats for home conference games.
Btw, to whoever posted it earlier it IS outlandish to consider Alabama a top 25 overall program. They're about 35th all time in wins but lower when you consider everything else. The last comprehensive ranking of all time basketball programs I saw ranked Alabama #54 among the top 100 programs of all time but that was from a poll done about 10 years ago. We would have dropped since then

even with your added disclaimers to the original point, I wont be self banned. the info you want wont be published. and if it does, it wont be for quite some time.
I never stated that for this year, the average was around 4k. I stated that with claimed average attendances around 10k, you average around 4k. There are fluctuations throughout the years. But there is a big difference in the number of tickets sold vs actually attended. that difference is in the several thousands.
I am not sure why alabama fans get their rocks off, claiming mythical attendance at their sporting events

That arena is a total boondoggle isn't it? Something about sponsorship agreements not being enough to cover debt payments? I remember reading an article about it a year or so ago and it sounded like a total nightmare.
