76ers Bolster Home Court, Donate Playoff Tickets
The Philadelphia 76ers are distributing 500 tickets per home playoff game to community groups, aiming to ensure a raucous home crowd and prevent a New York Knicks fan invasion.
The Philadelphia 76ers are taking direct action to secure their home-court advantage, donating 500 tickets for each remaining second-round playoff game to various area community groups. This strategic move aims to fill seats with loyal 76ers supporters, directly countering the potential for New York Knicks fans to dominate the atmosphere in Philadelphia's arena. The specter of an opposing fan base overwhelming a home crowd during the playoffs is a tangible threat to a team's psychological edge.
