Brooklyn Nets
The Brooklyn Nets are a franchise of the National Basketball Association (NBA) which joined the league as the New Jersey Nets in 1976 as part of the ABA-NBA merger. It was established in 1966 under the name ‘New Jersey Americans’ as a founding member of the American Basketball Association (ABA). In 2012, the franchise moved to Brooklyn, New York, and was renamed Brooklyn Nets. The team plays its home games at the newly constructed Barclays Center, which opened in September 2012 for the Brooklyn Nets’ first season in New York.
The average attendance at Brooklyn Nets games during the 2013/14 season was 17,251 with the total attendance during the regular season at about 707 thousand. Tickets to the games cost 66.15 U.S. dollars on average in 2014/15, an increase of almost 30 U.S. dollars compared to the 2011/12 season when the Nets still played in New Jersey. The league-wide average ticket price was at around 54 U.S. dollars in 2014/15.
According to Forbes, the franchise has a value of 780 million U.S. dollars in 2014. A year earlier the franchise was valued at 530 million U.S. dollars. This constitutes an increase in value of almost 50 percent over a one year period. The majority of the increase can be attributed to the franchises move to Brooklyn and its new arena.
