The Toronto Raptors faced off against the Washington Wizards in a mini-series, showcasing a team hampered by injuries and not in playoff contention. Despite this, the Raptors maintain a vibrant game atmosphere that resonates with fans, especially contrasted against their current tanking status. Coach Darko Rajakovic acknowledged the supportive fan base, and while championship teams may naturally attract enthusiastic crowds, tanking teams can also create authentic, communal experiences. Ticket prices have risen significantly, which, while effective for revenue, can alienate core fans who bring energy to games.
Championship teams bring fans together, creating a vibrant atmosphere. But surprisingly, tanking teams also foster authentic fan experiences—it’s about community and connection.
The rising cost of tickets in this business model often excludes die-hard fans, leading to a crowd that lacks the passionate energy necessary for entertainment.
