On wikipedia you find some interesting tidbits about the Mystics and their attendance problems
The Washington Mystics led the WNBA in home attendance in the years 1998, 1999, 2000, 2002, 2004 and 2009.[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_Mystics#cite_note-25'][25][/URL] To celebrate the fans turning out for games, six banners were hung from the [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_One_Arena']Verizon Center[/URL] rafters celebrating each year the Mystics were "Attendance Champions."

The banners were mocked for years, announced in a 2010 blog that the banners would be taken down, reasoning that the "only banners we should display revolve around winning a division or conference or league championship."[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_Mystics#cite_note-30'][[/URL]

The Mystics are now highly unlikely to lead the WNBA in attendance, since their current home of the Entertainment and Sports Arena seats only 4,200.

Sad that they used to actually have great fans, not sure what went wrong but to play in the smallest arena in the WNBA is a bad look.
