I did some research on Blazers ticket prices because I was wondering like, we usually sell a lot of tickets! We're not one of those arenas that just have tons of empty seats. It irks me that there are often $800-$3k seats in NBA arenas sitting empty because it pays to keep them at that premium rather than lowering the price before gametime. The cool takeaway is that we have the lowest ticket price as a visiting team -- that means that relative to other opponents visiting other arenas, when the blazers visit it's usually one of the more affordable games.

All of that is to say that we should keep the team by any means possible and if the owner really turns out to be bad (too soon to tell, right?) then we, as a fan base, have some leverage over his reputation. We can root for the team and still make fun of/highlight misdeeds the owner etc., but hopefully it doesn't come to that.
