Half Smokes Hypothetical is a daily discussion where we throw out a D.C. sports-related question based on the news of the day. It's a hypothetical discussion, which is what makes it fun (we hope).
↵Switching gears for a second ...
↵Yesterday, we highlighted an article by Craig Stouffer of the Washington Examiner questioning the merit of the Wizards' Midnight Madness event on October 28 (well, October 27). Stouffer's point was that it's the kind of thing that's great for college, where everyone lives together, but makes little sense for a professional team with a fanbase that doesn't all congregate in the same place. The implication was that not that many people would show up.
↵I'm not sure I agree, but it's at least worth thinking about. Therefore, here's today's hypothetical.
↵How many people do you expect will show up at the Wizards' "Midnight Madness" event?
