The league has done considerably better than that.<br /><br />I agree with anonymous. It's a sad statement about Americans that we're so far behind the rest of the world in supporting women's sports.pilightnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-595059113916595813.post-46403697211253314112009-05-13T22:51:00.000-04:002009-05-13T22:51:00.000-04:00How many D-League teams play in NBA cities and NBA...How many D-League teams play in NBA cities and NBA arenas? My guess would be one. I think this argument is a stretch at best. The D-League gets leftovers from the NBA and/or Europe. The WNBA is supposed to be the premier women's league in the world.<br /><br />It would be best to compare NBA attendance figures to WNBA attendance figures and draw a conclusion from that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-595059113916595813.post-5368470666770338142009-05-13T20:05:00.000-04:002009-05-13T20:05:00.000-04:00I can't remember where I got the information for t...I can't remember where I got the information for the D-League - I do know that it was very hard to find at the NBA Developmental League site. I ended up finding it on sportsbusinessjournal.com.<br /><br />If you look at NBA Development League individual franchise data, the numbers are believable. The problem is that <B>all</B> leagues inflate their attendance data; I wonder how much the D-League attendance is inflated.<br /><br />Even if the WNBA attendance is inflated, it's clearly larger than the D-League's attendance. I believe even the old ABL attendance of the previous women's league (1996-98) was higher.pthttp://atlantadreamblog.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-595059113916595813.post-79374480322325459932009-05-13T18:55:00.000-04:002009-05-13T18:55:00.000-04:00Does this actually make sense to you?
