The NFL is the top draw, not doubt. It is great for a community (except St. Louis, Oakland, San Diego...lol). But the NFL gives a town eight home games. While the NBA and college basketball is almost seventy games to see and discuss. The Grizz out draw the Titans, or any other NFL team, in attendane...total numbers.
The price points for those NFL games are much higher than for most NBA games, almost double.
The 'total numbers' that matter. NFL and NBA are not even close. NBA vs NHL is a more appropriate discussion.
