A near-empty stadium was good enough reason for former PBA commissioner Noli Eala to express his thoughts on social media.

Hoops.ph shared a tweet by Eala, commenting on what appears to be games held at Ynares Center in Antipolo city on September 13.

"I cannot believe that team owners aren't alarmed yet with the gate attendance of the PBA," he wrote.

Neither of the four teams playing that day — TNT versus NLEX, and Rain Or Shine versus Phoenix — could be considered a big crowd-puller, so that could be a factor.

But with the Governors' Cup in the homestretch and games supposedly more interesting at this juncture, one might have expected the Ynares to have drawn more people.

Instead, based on a quick review on YouTube of the gameday in question, the bleachers were virtually unoccupied, as empty seats dotted the courtside section.
