not bad for two "boring" teams!I guess this debunks a Piston fan myth I saw on one for their boards. One guy was trying to claim that Game 6 was not a sellout.
sorry, if already posted... and just think if they had played in the alamodome! really would've set a record..

Well to bad the TV ratings sucked.
Does the attendance have to do with the 7 games?
7 games is a big reason the attendance was higher... im guessing.
Considering there hasn't been a 7-game Finals in a while, probably so.
I have no idea, but isn't Detroit's 22K seat arena a little bigger than most, also? Too bad we couldn't have had the Finals in the Alamodome.....that would have blown all records out of the water.
What Neilson? them.. you ever hear of anyone in San Antonio with a neilson machine?..
ratings and poll's... most people hang up the phone anyway from the solicitation..
