Nuggets Nation needs to step up.
After three games at the Pepsi Center, the Denver Nuggets currently boast the league’s worst attendance (and it’s not close), with an average of 12,239 a game. And honestly, that’s being generous.
Whether you’ve been at the Pepsi Center or watching from home (much more likely), it’s pretty clear that there aren’t more than six or seven thousand Denver Nuggets fans in the stands at any given moment, which may shed some light on why the team has seemingly been playing better on the road to start the season.
And sure, we can all claim that it’s the Nuggets’ fault that nobody is going to their games; that they are the ones who fired the reigning Coach of the Year and let our GM walk to Toronto, the ones who hired Brian Shaw and oversaw one of the most dysfunctional seasons in franchise history. That’s all fair. And if you want to play that card, that’s your prerogative.
But if that’s the case, I guess it’s time we start calling ourselves fair-weather fans. The Nuggets have had two losing seasons in their last 12, and suddenly we turn into the worst fanbase in the NBA? The 76ers have better attendance, and that franchise has actively been trying to lose for half a decade!
Things need to change. Here are three reasons why you should be going to the Pepsi Center this season.
