OT: What are peoples thought on an NBA team in Montreal?

[MasterDecoy]

Montreal loves winners and won't tolerate losers, how the hell is Montreal gonna support another pro team that has zero chance of ever winning anything? Hell, expos attendance was horrendous until midway through the 94 season **** FEHR!!!!

how have the habs been selling out games these last 20 years if thats the case

Montreal consistently produces great world class swimmers and divers, (...)

Soccer is being well supported here, unlike almost all smaller cities in the US.

Some of those divers will even play for the Limp Act some day.

anyone going to the game tonight at the bell centre? raptors vs knicks

 

[deandebean]

Never going to happen. Corporate support would be practically nil. And the fanbase, aside from a small but loyal core, would be as pityful as baseball. Even soccer has trouble attracting 18000 fans a game.

It's going to stay Habland for a while.

I'd want a baseball team way before getting a basketball team

 

[Uber Coca]

Can't stand that sport. I guess a lot of people would be thrilled tho, so I'd be down for the idea.

Same here.

 

[AllanMTL46]

I'd rather baseball, but if it were to happen I'd be happy for basketball fans.

 

[FF de Mars]

I'd rather have an NFL team. THAT would be sweet.

Habs have been selling out games since a little more than 10 years if I'm not mistaken. Prior to that, the team was actually struggling financially. At least that's what I remember, could be wrong though
