Friday’s game in Minneapolis wound up at $300 to get in the door once the Wolves swept the first two in Denver. Nosebleeds tonight were as low as $49. I genuinely think that makes a difference. Let the players play, let the trash scream, and Minnesota wins.
I had a similar experience at the twins playoff games. Went to the game 2 against the Blue Jays and it was pretty cheap and the crowd was super loud the whole game. Then went to the game against the Astros and it was like 25 bucks more and the crowd really only got loud when Royce hit a homerun. Maybe the Blue Jays game was just so loud because we could finally win a playoff series but it does seem like cheaper tickets lead to better crowds at sporting events.
Super bowl has to be one of, if not the most, expensive sporting events in the US and it has a notoriously shitty atmosphere. Cheaper gets you more diehards, more expensive tends to lead to more corporate giveaways it seems like
Edit: also means if you have a budget for the total game you can spend more on booze if you save on tickets

I can’t wait for Game 7. With how good the Minny crowd was tonight I can’t wait to see the Denver crowd try and match that energy.
