Yeah, that's a bunch of bull poo. I was there. Way more than 4800.
OK, maybe not way more but that just has to be wrong.

Maybe they do like the rest of the teams & try to make $ on those lower level seats. I know on kids day we had bunches of empty lower level seats. Upper level had at least 100 or more fans. It's all about the big dollar. We always say someone go up there & bring those fans down!
Nice win for the Comet's. We had our chances at the end, the plays & shots didnot fall. Free throws another issue for the Monarch's.

| I live in Houston, and I haven't seen any type of advertisement. They stopped showing the games on local TV. Come to think of it, the only ad I've seen is a cheesy Hilton Furniture one, which required Sheryl to channel her inner manic. The crowds might be smaller, but the people who come are very enthusiastic.

Exactly. Thats where the problem is. Come on, at least the Sting are covered locally. Wake up Rockets/Comets Management!

Felt like more than 5000, that's for sure...and sounded like it, too.
I talked with my ticket rep before the game and she said that the Thursday Camp Day Game is basically a sell out...that there are just single seats around the arena. Now, a lot of season ticket holders will be out because they can't get off work, but I talked to a couple in front of me and they gave their tickets to the couple in front of them...so maybe it will be packed in the lower bowl.
The LA game is Girl Scout Day and they have sold a lot of tickets for that, so the ticket reps have been working very hard, in my opinion.

What I mean by local is a channel available via regular (non-cable) TV. The Comets used to be on Ch 51, but now they only carry Rockets games.

But I agree with you 100% I think someone in marketing is getting lazy and that the Comets arent working hard to advertise there games. I wonder how much they advertise them during Rocket games and during other sporting events. I'm guessing there would be a slight increase. But I still dont have a logical answer why Houston fans dont show up. I mean, Tina and Sheryl would be more than enough for me to come.
