I don't know what the hell happened to Eugene after I left a decade or so ago. My only guess is that they were so crappy for so long that the fans have 80 years worth of trash talking to get rid of).Anyhow, it naturally made me curious: Who would win a similar poll of NBA fans? Honestly, I've only been to a half-dozen NBA arenas, so I can't begin to offer any expert opinions on the matter. Offhandedly, I'd nominate Blazer fans, but I think they're only rude to Sonic fans, and they're not even rude to us any more because they just feel like we're kind of pathetic.Ouch, that kind of sucks.Laker fans are only rude when they're winning, which is often, of course, but when the team is mediocre they're pleasant enough. Warrior fans, from my experience, are too busy worrying about their own problems to give anybody else any grief (well, anyone not wearing a Kobe jersey, anyways). Clipper fans? Well, I could insert the obligatory Lenoesque joke, but it's really not necessary. I know Kareem said Phoenix was the only arena he felt unsafe in during his career, and I'm sure the Bulls' roster during the late 80s/early 90s would have no trouble nominating Detroit.Hard to say, though, right?So, despite never having been there, and with nothing other than just a completely unsubstantiated feeling to support me, I think I'll nominate the Boston Garden (or whatever they call it now) as the worst place to be if your wearing an opposing jersey.But, as I said before, I'm no expert. See below for a poll with your opportunity to nominate the city of your choice. Feel free to express why in the comments.

Seattle SuperSonics - Sport Snipe - Team News - Stats - Updates http://www.sportsnipe.com/main_sportsnews/1031368/index.html When I compile the data for the attendance, I do it on a 1 through 41 game basis for all 30 teams. I find that makes it easier to compare the numbers from seasons past, especially when calculating per-game averages.For example, to say that the Grizzlies are averaging 12,096 per game is meaningless when you compare it to their overall average from past seasons, because attendance clearly rises as the season progresses. By tracking the attendance on a game-by-game basis, I can compare Memphis' numbers from their first four games of this season to past seasons (which, if you're interested is 11,924 last year and 14,514 from the year before).Anyhow, after I get the numbers for the individual teams, I like to total up game one, game two, etc., just to see how the league is doing after "Game 1" and so forth. It's not completely infallible - after all, game 7 in one season might have alot of Saturday night games, while game 7 in another season had alot of Tuesdays, but these things average out over the course of the season (I hope).With that in mind, if you're still following along, that is, and with Denver hosting a game last night, all 30 teams have now played a minimum of four home games. Combined with the 41 games from each of the two previous seasons, that makes 86 games for which I have data on per-game attendance.Care to take a guess where nights 2, 3 and 4 rank out 86?Game 2: #86Game 3: #80Game 4: #85All of which is a very long-winded way of saying that so far this season the NBA has managed to post the Worst, Second-Worst, and Sixth-Worst attendance figures of the past three seasons - and we're just getting started.

By the Summer '07, very few folks had any expectation the team was going to stick around beyond the end of the season, and attendance plummeted quicker than Shawn Kemp?s career post-Cleveland.All of which is a long-winded way of explaining why that season is really the best way to look backwards at Sonic attendance. The 2007-08 season was a debacle ? both on the court and off. Nobody wanted to see a miserable team that was leaving town, the ownership spent more on tumbleweed insurance than on marketing and the awful attendance reflected that.In 06-07, though, the possibility remained that the team would stick around, making it the best measuring stick by which to gauge Seattle?s attendance. So, I thought I would take a glance at how Seattle Circa 2006-07 stacks up against this year?s version of the NBA. Below is a listing of the per-game averages for all 30 NBA teams through four contests, and the '06-'07 Sonics.Chicago, 20,929Cleveland, 20,562Portland, 20,361Dallas, 19,823New York, 19,640Utah, 19,611Lakers, 18,997Boston, 18,624Toronto, 18,131Denver, 18,029Washington, 17,975San Antonio, 17,960Sonix, 17,882Atlanta, 17,862Golden State, 17,827Minnesota, 17,651Miami, 17,542Detroit, 17,541Orlando, 17,461Houston, 17,130Phoenix, 16,730Seattle 2006-07, 16,148New Orleans, 15,156New Jersey, 14,919Clippers, 14,653Milwaukee, 14,636Charlotte, 14,323Indiana, 13,507Sacramento, 12,587Memphis, 12,095Philadelphia, 11,537As it stands right now, nine teams are drawing worse than the Sonics did in 2006-07. And not ?after Marc Gasol Lookalike Night it'll even out? kind of different, either. The difference between Seattle and the Sixers ? 4,611 a night ? is almost exactly the same as the difference between Seattle and the Bulls, the top-drawing team in the league. Put another way, the Sonics are as close to the Blazers in attendance (#2 overall) as they are to the Grizzlies (#29 overall).Naturally, skeptics, Oklahomans, and David Stern's acolytes would say that we are in the midst of completely different economic times, that you can't compare the climate in 2006-07 with the one in 2009-10 and just call it even-Stephen Jackson.To which I would respond: Fine. But, if the NBA and everyone else in the country is going to sit there and accuse Seattle of poorly supporting their team ? all together now, "Hey, Seattle, if you loved the Sonics so much, why didn't you just go to the games more often, huh?" ? then what the hell are you going to say to the nine teams ranked below Seattle on that chart?If the support in Seattle was poor, what exactly would you call it in Memphis? Or Indiana? Or Milwaukee? Or Philadelphia? Sure, the economy stinks, but do you really think the Grizzlies would be averaging 18,000 a night if unemployment was at 4%. Do you think the Pacers be selling out if only the derivatives market hadn?t obliterated the banking system?Perhaps, just perhaps, the problem wasn?t with Seattle, but rather with the NBA. It?s all fine and dandy when you?ve got a brand-new stadium, or if you?ve got terrific economic times, or if your team just played in the NBA Finals, but a healthy city supports the team even when it stinks, or when the unemployment rate is higher than your starting center?s rebounds per game.Unfortunately, the league has set itself up in such a fashion that a team cannot be successful unless it sells 90% of its seats for all 41 games, regardless of on-court success or economic indicators. It?s a ridiculous scenario doomed for failure.To exacerbate the situation, take a look again at those nine teams: fully seven of them have heard rumblings about either relocation or a sale - only the Clippers (the most moribund team in NBA history) and the Sixers (who for some reason only seem to draw better after Christmas) are seemingly safe. To be fair, it's a bit of a chicken and egg scenario, but do you think it helps ticket sales when David Stern whines about the situation in Sacramento, or when the Simons talk about moving out of Indiana? Call me crazy, but I'd guess that it doesn't.Three years ago, Seattle was held up in front of the fans of the other 29 teams as an example of how not to support an NBA team. I just wonder if that same standard will now be used for the nine other clubs.

Committee assignments determine which council members control which areas of city government; veteran council members typically head up powerful committees like land use and transportation, while newbies get stuck with the leftovers (this year, public utilities and parks.) Caveat: Things can change (in 2006, infighting between factions favoring Richard Conlin and Jean Godden led to the unlikely council presidency of Nick Licata), so nothing?s final until the council says it is.
