Pacers GM wants more fans at games

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - - The general manager of the Indiana Pacers took to Twitter Monday morning to air some frustration about home game attendance.

A number of Chicago Bulls fans were on hand at Bankers Life Fieldhouse Sunday night as the Pacers took the win. General manager Kevin Pritchard wasn’t happy there weren’t more fans in blue and gold.

Does anybody else get upset that their was so much red in the stands last night. Very frustrating. What can we do to change that? @ pacers
