Anyway, I don't keep up as much with the Hornets as I used to so I may be wrong on some issues. But that would be my guesses as to why the attendance is the way it is. Just win and more people will show up. Not just a 9-2 start.
I still think this is what it comes down to. They just need to keep winning. I also think that attendance will go up after football ends. People will see that this is a pretty solid team, and with no Saints around to steal the attention, the Hornets will only have to compete with an AFL football team for attention. Media coverage has been one of their problems IMO. WWL doesn't seem to latch on to the Hornets anywhere near as much as they do the Saints. The end of football season should help this. Everyone loves a winner. If they keep it up they should be fine.
I also have to disagree with the OP. I think the All-star game will go on fine. New Orleans, if nothing else, has proved time and again that we are the masters of pulling off this sort of thing. They always find a way to make this sort of thing work. At least I'll be there to boo T-mac for hating on NOLA :hihi: .
