Bring the Grizzlies back to Vancouver (alien.top)

The Memphis Grizzlies are currently selling tickets for as low as $2 per seat. They are averaging the 5th worst attendance in the league at 16, 833 which is worse than half of the Vancouver Grizzlies seasons almost 30 years ago when average attendance league wide was much lower than now.

Am I still petty that Memphis took our team? Absolutely.

But I can also guarantee you'd be hard pressed to find tickets to a Vancouver NBA game for the price of a quarter of a water at Rogers Arena. Not to mention I'm positive that Vancouver could do better than the 5th worst attendance in the league.

I look forward to seeing salty Memphis fans in my DMs, but just remember you would be frustrated too if a worse market stole you're NBA team, and then showed poor support to an actually talented team.

Memphis doesn’t show out for that team even though they have a squad.

“Far worse market” lives in Canada lmao.

Horrible idea lol. The NBA going into Vancouver in the 1st place was a giant mistake glad they fixed that. Vancouver will never be an NBA city again for good reason

Complaining about ticket prices of all things is ridiculous. We should want ticket prices to be affordable for regular people. Vancouver citizens being willing to overpay to watch basketball doesn’t mean anything lol

There are a total of 8 fucking $2 tickets available to watch a shit Jazz team play 8 Grizzlies backups on a Wednesday night. STFU you dumbass.

Go fuck yourself. You are pushing for the same thing to happen to memphis to what happened to your city.

Grizzlies finalizing a new 25-year lease with the City. Sorry, but they’re not going anywhere. Memphis would be a dump without a pro sports team.

Absolutely do not steal them back!

I grew up rooting for the Sonics and then when we got our own team, I got to love watching the Grizzles - I still have my Mike Bibby Arizona college jersey. It was so awful to lose not one but two PNW teams.

No one should lose their team. Give us a new expansion team, don't crush the hearts of another city to get a team back!

Yeah, fuck the poors! They should never get to watch a basketball game!
