[quote=""psbf""]I hope you're right and I realize this is mid-week. But it seems to me that fans don't really find ABA opponents as interesting as league rivals(imo).
My guess is that attendence was around 1,000. The picture in MDN looked almost empty.[/quote]
I don't think the ABA opponents have anything to do with attendance. Attendance is down as a sign of the times. What are minor league hoops teams doing differently to bring-in fans?!? Ponder that question. Also, weather isn't a factor. Everyone knew there would be sub-zero temperatures in Minot before this franchise was purchased from Apex. Personally, I think the Skyrockets should have been allowed to die on the vine. Wasn't anything learned from Minot's IBA experience?

Winter and cold are normal..
..blizzard conditions in North Dakota and 250,000 customers without power due to an ice storm in the Albany region aren't. Both of those circumstances made the Today Show this week, and would impact attendance.
I agree with Ken that the ABA opponents are having relatively little impact on attendance, and that says something about any future direction the CBA might have.

[quote=""basketball facts""]Hey Chuck, how did my man Monte O'Quinn do in the game? I saw posted here that he had 2 points, 2 rebounds and five fouls. I know you disagreed, but I think that I proved my point. He stinks![/quote]
Geez man, what is it with you and Monte O'Quinn? Did he stiff you for an autograph or something and it snapped your opinion of him? Give it a rest. Yeah, he's not part of the CBA All-Star Team, but I'm sure he could still outshoot you in a game of HORSE.
