Sorry for the lateness of this attendance update. You've likely seen it elsewhere, but if not, it's a good one.

Remember, the average isn't taken from the beginning of the season. it's taken from Dec. 1, 2007, the date the latest contract states the Hornets must average 14,735 through the end of the '08-'09 season.

The last home game came against Boston on Sat., March 22. That game drew a season-high 18,280 fans, beating the previous high by 81 fans (against the Lakers on March 14).

Adding the Boston total gives the Hornets a total of 430,630 through 30 home dates. That comes out to an average of 14,354.

The weekend (Fri., Sat., Sun.) games are getting an average of 14,981 folks in the Arena, while weekday games (the rest of the week) are seeing 13,728 fans.

The Hornets have had four sellouts in their past seven games, and eight since since the beginning of February (13 home games in that period).

And more fun with numbers:

Per month has shot up enormously in Feb and March -
Dec. = 12,215
Jan. = 13,425
Feb. =16,259
March =16,363

Boy, I sure hope that the reporter in Oklahoma City is keeping up with these numbers. Being that he said "we would NEVER make those attendance numbers"
