Hurricane: Games at LSU not selling well
Continued from page 13
permanently. It makes too much
sense to move elsewhere, whether
it’s San Antonio or Los Angeles, in
stead of going back to New Orleans.
Even a recent report of playing the
2006 season at Louisiana State Uni
versity has a temporary feel.
It doesn’t help that ticket sales for
the four games at LSU have been slow.
Only 30,000 out of a possible 79,000
seats have been sold for the Saints’ first
game at LSU against the Miami Dol
phins and ex-LSU coach Nick Saban.
The Hornets had reasons to move
other than Katrina. They struggled
recently with attendance figures
among the lowest in the NBA.
The company was fined $8 million
after reporting inflated ticket sales
when it was making its move from
Charlotte, N.C., to New Orleans.
When the Hornets called Char
lotte home, they sold out 364 con
secutive games starting in 1988.
Owner George Shinn, whose legal
problems with the city turned off
fans, eventually decided to move
the team to New Orleans, where
they haven’t done much better. Last
season’s average attendance of
14,221 was last in the league.
Recently, the Hornets have fought
with city leaders over funding for a
new downtown practice facility.
Shinn, not surprisingly, is prais
ing Oklahoma City, where the
Hornets will play 35 home games
this season.
“To me it just mirrored what went
on in Charlotte where we had such
success,” Shinn said of the team’s
reception. “I started feeling good
about it, and I realized, hey, they
don’t have a (major league) team
there. We would be the only show
in town. So my enthusiasm kept
going up.”
New Orleans fans’ hope and sup
port of professional sports shouldn’t
be held hostage. Even if either team
returns, who is going to be able to
shell out more than $30 for a ticket?
Sentimentality is nice, but sports
franchises require money to survive.
Everybody loves the feel-good
story — the idea that good over
comes evil. It’s time league officials
and team owners realize a good so
lution won’t happen and publicly
say so.
