I heard they advertised it as a Dixie Chicks concert.
dude, you're just hilarious.
It's people like you that we need out of our sport.

I've always doubted Nashville as a hockey market, but I was definitly surprised how packed and loud the arena was during game two. This just might be the playoff series the Preds need to grow a solid fan base. I'm still skeptical though.

That would NOT sell out in Nashville. Most people around here can't stand them anymore.I heard they advertised it as a Dixie Chicks concert.
I lived within a 4 hour drive of Vancouver for 30 years. They don't have anything more than Edmonton for entertainment options, unless I have missed some recent developments somewhere.
I wouldnt go that far.
Sportswise, Vancouver has the WHL's Giants as direct competition, while the region has the ECHL in Victoria, another WHL team in Chiliwack, and a pile of BCHL teams that are well supported.
Otherwise, I suppose the argument is that Vancouver has so many non-hockey things to do. This argument is, however, worthless in my opinion. Both for Vancouver and for Nashville. Hockey fans will chose hockey above other pursuits. If there aren't enough hockey fans, you won't fill your building. Other events are just an excuse to cover this fact up.

Are you kidding me? Seriously... All of those are minor league teams.
I see your 20 minutes and raise you the Pens selling out the first round in 13 minutes.
Anyway, the reason it took 20 minutes instead of days was because the owner had help passing them out for free
In fairness, we only had the first two games available at first and opened up game 5 sales the day following the game 2 win.

They may be minor league teams, but Vancouver has always had a solid history of supporting grassroots sports/minor leagues. The Giants are treated like a major league team here and that deserves recognition.
Anyway, I was referring more to things like the theatre scene, which is extremely popular for the yuppies these days and is very very well supported. I know the city had a rep in the 90s as no-fun but it's a pretty bustling area nowadays. Comparing it to Edmonton or saying we have to go to Seattle for entertainment is pretty laughable.
Uh, no, you're hanging yourself because you didn't even bother to read my post. Yes, I've been to Edmonton, I lived there for six years, and it's entertainment and nightlife isn't in the same league as Vancouver's. Having everything that Vancouver has is not the same as having the same amount of it Vancouver has. I'm not going to **** about this pointless point anymore because there isn't even a debate on it. Anyway, I didn't even start off comparing the cities, merely made the point that there IS a lot of competition for entertainment dollar here, until you started a city pissfest.
Congrats on having the NLL, I guess.
You hate for Vancouver is rather tiresome. Do you have anything positive to say about the city?
