Just watching on Foxtel a Turkish Airlines Euroleague game between Red Star anf Laborara or something, being played in Belgrade.
What is odd about this game is that all the seats are virtually empty but their are photos of people on the seats, different people, not the same person on each seat.
Anyone have a clue why?

Usually if there is violence or bad crowd behavior, the club gets punished by having no fans at the next home game

Or maybe the NBL lent the Euro league their community engagement/promotions guys for a week #ohnoyoudidnt

Saw that, was weird that there was nobody there at all, and made super creepy by the fact there were photos of people in each spot

They're both European and Asian as Turkey straddles the border of both. From memory, this part of Istanbul is on the European side.

Turkey qualifies through Europe for fiba, not Asia.
Just saying.
Not european at all.. <1% of their territory being geographically in Europe or FIBA saying so does not change that.. Sorry guys
Turkey...? Can i get some Cranberry sauce with mine?
So, do both teams suffer the same penalty of no crowds for such a sad act?
