“It was fun to play (here), especially coming from Pittsburgh,” he said to Islanders Insights. “It’s pretty dead there.”
Part of the problem may be that the Penguins have priced out the average fan. The average ticket price at Consol Energy Center last season was $73.59, a more than 100% increase over the last 10 years. (Graphic courtesy Statista.)
Interesting to actually have an ex-player come out and say something about the atmosphere at Consol. There are many factors playing into the decreasing sound. One was touched on in the article, but I really do believe that the new building eats up sound, and doesn't resonate it. There's nothing we can really do about that though.
