The Minnesota Timberwolves may have traded away their star player, but they are finding out that the new guys in town are getting fans excited.
In the five days following the official announcement of the Kevin Love-Andrew Wiggins trade, the Timberwolves said they have sold 300 new full-season-ticket packages. That’s on top of 200 new packages in the 30 days leading up to the trade, when most fans knew Wiggins would be the centerpiece of the deal.
The last week was the busiest for season ticket sales for the Wolves in three years.
The team also recorded a boost in its web traffic. Timberwolves.com got 550,000 page views and 200,000 visitors in the five days after the trade. Both of those are records for the website.
