The purpose of the study was to identify the motivational determinants and satisfaction of home game sport spectators at UBA Division I level. Simple random sampling was used for the subject selection. The subjects who were at the selected home games were chosen for this study. Of the 612 questionnaires delivered, 582 were returned, making the response rate of 96%. Based on the literature review, a research instrument was developed and tested. The test results showed that the instrument was valid and reliable. The results were summarized as follows: 1. Descriptive statistics for the sport spectators. 2. There was a significant difference between male and female subjects in motivational determinants (p<.05). Of the 43 motivational items, 13 items were significant different. There was also a significant difference between male and female subjects in their satisfaction (p<.05). 3. There was a significant difference among three home game schools in their satisfaction (p<.05). 4. There was a significant relationship between motivational factors and the satisfaction (r=.622, p<.01). 5. Stepwise regression analysis showed that four of the eight factors explained about 39.7% variance in the satisfaction. The four factors were Multiple Factors (MF), Sport Knowledge (SK), Role Model (RM), and Fan Loyalty (FL). Based on the results, it is recommended that similar studies look at other areas of spectator sports, or different competing levels of basketball, such as HBL and SBL. Future research should continue to explore other motivational and satisfaction factors, thus, the research instrument also should be modified and refined. Furthermore, because most of the literature review used ticket-sold number as a predictive variable in their research, it is recommended that future research should develop a counting method for those sports which permit free admission in order to further analyze the data.
