Chicago is famously known as a great professional sports town with arguably the most loyal fans in the country. Nowhere is this more apparent that with the Bulls, who routinely play in front of a packed United Center, despite fielding a team that has not advanced past the first round of the playoffs since number 23 was in the house. In a business where winning strongly correlates with attendance, the Bulls have been an aberration. Over the last four NBA seasons the Bulls have ranked among the top-five in home attendance, twice finishing second, despite winning only 43% of regular season games.

Even during the lean years when Tim Floyd was pacing the sidelines, Bulls fans visited the United Center in droves. During the ’02-’03 and ’03-’04 seasons, when the Bulls’ combined record was 53-111, the organization’s average attendance was 19,617 and 19,736, respectively. Very impressive for a franchise lacking star power and a fan base accustomed to watching the likes of MJ, Scottie, and Rodman.
Game night at the United Center is one of the best atmospheres in the league and serves as a home-court advantage for the Bulls. Imagine what the overall record would be during the past four years without that advantage. Chicagoans are passionate about their Bulls, knowledgeable about the game of basketball, and hungry for success. Scott Skiles and his young Bulls are hoping to give their fans what they’re looking for and return the Bulls franchise to prominence. Until then, Bulls fans will continue to pack the United Center and fervently root for their Bulls.
