The Memphis Grizzlies are currently selling tickets for as low as $2 per seat. They are averaging the 5th worst attendance in the league at 16, 833 which is worse than half of the Vancouver Grizzlies seasons almost 30 years ago when average attendance league wide was much lower than now.

Am I still petty that Memphis took our team? Absolutely.

But I can also guarantee you’d be hard pressed to find tickets to a Vancouver NBA game for the price of a quarter of a water at Rogers Arena. Not to mention I’m positive that Vancouver could do better than the 5th worst attendance in the league.

I look forward to seeing salty Memphis fans in my DMs, but just remember you would be frustrated too if a worse market stole you’re NBA team, and then showed poor support to an actually talented team.

    For any Grizzlies fans who don’t like this idea, we can just send the Lakers back to Minneapolis.

    If only they were actually those prices you say… Go ahead and factor in the fees before purchases.

    The Grizzlies were never given a fair shot here. The team was utter dogwater for its entire existence in Vancouver because they were given virtually 0 pieces to work with. And then they go “why does no one come to games” and relocate the team.

    $24 for lower level tickets to a wolves game?

    What is this, 2012?

    I…almost want to convince my wife to let me attend a Grizz game when we visit, if plane flights from MSP are reasonable. I won’t cause I’m a coward with a car that needs replacing. But a boy can dream

    Last I checked Vancouver only supports winning teams. Canuck’s sure had shit crowds when they were losing the last ten years. What’s gonna happen if they comeback? Team gonna suck and nobody shows up?!

    That would be great. Also Move LA Clippers to Las Vegas and rename. Sacramento Kings to Seattle and Sonics are back.
