Each dot is a home game; dashed line marks listed arena capacity. Dots at or above capacity are shown in indigo (standing-room sales), below capacity in red, and outdoor / neutral-site games in amber (clamped to the top of the chart so they don't distort the scale).
Special-venue games: one outdoor or neutral-site game played outside the team's home arena. These are shown in orange on the chart and excluded from the capacity % and average attendance figures above so the home-arena demand signal stays accurate.
