How Many NBA Fans Are In Attendance?

A quick reference guide to the NBA playoffs and in-person attendance

While the NBA regular season was shortened by 10 games, the playoffs actually expanded to include a concept introduced in last year’s bubble: the play-in tournament.

With the NBA Play-in Tournament, a total of 18 teams had post-season games added to their schedule.  Perhaps somewhat serendipitously, many states loosened their COVID restrictions against in-person gatherings around the same time.

Some call it home-court advantage.  Best.Day.Ever. calls it an opportunity for sports hospitality to return to the forefront of customer engagement.

And while there are only three teams left playing at the time of this blog, it’s worth taking a look at how the playoffs were attended through the teams that made it in.

TEAM VENUE EST. CAPACITY RECENT ATTENDANCE PERCENTAGE
Atlanta Hawks State Farm Arena 18,118 16,458 91%
