I hope for the best but alot of teams have folded in this league. It think its great news for the city because it does shine a light that its a sports community but minor league basketball typically draws less fans than minor league hockey. Greensboro was presented the chance to get an ABA team 6 years ago but no ownership group came forward. After the first several home games, expect the attendance to drop down quite a bit below 1,000. but you never know. If team owners can come up with a great marketing strategy to attract people from the whole Triad area and rally alot of support and pride among Winston-Salem residents, the team can do pretty good
