NBA stands for Nobody Attends Anymore David Stern looking forward to NFL Sunday!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01288343762787836512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20743459.post-87301091082338916602008-12-24T08:37:00.000-05:002008-12-24T08:37:00.000-05:00Bobbo, who's a journalist (and, I hope, more caref...Bobbo, who's a journalist (and, I hope, more careful in his paid work, where he's required to attach his name), doesn't read very well. <BR/><BR/>Mike Francesa's estimate was much closer than Yormark's claim, as the statistics reported by Neil Best show.<BR/><BR/>And if other arenas overstate attendance by 25% or more, that's a reasonable proxy.<BR/><BR/>Btw, I'm not a librarian.

The idea that Mike Francesca can tell the difference between 15,000 fans and 17,000 fans or that you can establish the number is 25% without the aid of some metric, preferably a photo metric, is ludicrous. There are such metrics available, such expertise.
