In its first season without capacity limitations in the arenas after two years marked by pandemic, the UnipolSai A Series closes with an average of 3,764 spectators and 50,363 euros in box office.

“The figure for this regular season is encouraging,” says Basketball League President Umberto Gandini, “and rewards the Serie A clubs that, after having sustained huge efforts to ensure the championship was played during the pandemic emergency, have worked well in recent months to bring the public back to the arenas to enjoy live a show that, even this season, has provided uncertainty and balance until the last day.

EA7 Emporio Armani Milano leads the attendance ranking with 7,818 average spectators, followed by Virtus Segafredo Bologna with 5,629.

There are 3 clubs at and above 4,000: these are Carpegna Prosciutto Pesaro with 4,810 spectators, Openjobmetis Varese with 4,456 and Tezenis Verona with 4,000.
