I gotta say, of all the things available to do in Las Vegas on the daily basis, taking in a WNBA game wouldnt be on the radar.

Even with all the sold out venues, the WNBA is expecting to lose $50M this year? I'm not buying it.

They probably close the upper level for WNBA games.

There are open seats in the building, it's technically not a "sell out"

I'll help you out. The Aces don't play in T-Mobile Arena.

In fairness, it was only the second paragraph of Nas' article.

The Michelob Ultra Arena has a capacity of 12K. So they still really aren't "selling out" their games. Even when they play at their lesser capacity home arena, 1/4th to 1/3rd of the arena is still available for seating. The headline was "ginned" up to make the WNBA seem more popular than it really is.

Capacity and sellout are two different words with two different meanings, you fucking genius.

Be that as it may, "sold out" is a misnomer if seats are empty and unsold.

It may also be the difference between seating for the other events like fights and concerts and ones with a big basketball court in the middle.

I was talking about T-Mobile where they seemed a few short of a "sellout". I'd call it nearly a sellout.

Even in the article they admit that it technically wasn't a "sellout". You are splitting hairs here and completely missing the point.

Well first off I was just laughing at your point about them not selling out in the arena they don't play in.

I'm confused on your last point. Season tickets sold out in March. The may have sold all the individual seats in the 3 months since March.

They havent truly sold out any arena it seems

How so?

Keep in mind I have no idea about the attendance at Aces games but you seem to be making an argument that they aren't selling out because season tickets sold out in March.

They arent selling out because as laid out in the story, on avrage they are only filling 80-85% of capacity

I'd also be interested to see what the average ticket price is and how many of those tickets were bought by the league and given away for free.

Also, not that the NBA doesn't have its share of non-calls, but come on:

_________________

Today's game between the Sky and Fever was a thriller. Angel Reese, the leading MVP candidate, led all scorers in points and rebounds. The Sky made a remarkable comeback in the fourth quarter, overcoming a nearly 10 point deficit to secure an 88-87 victory. Caitlyn Clark put up 17 points and 13 assists, but her performance was marred by her excessive focus on creating as many turnovers as she does assists. It is worth noting that the game was played without tackling.
