The NHL clocks in with a $247.32 (U.S) average for a family of four to attend an NHL game. King Kaufman here over a salon.com has an interesting take on the whole thing, but I think it's still pretty safe to say that the NHL as the 4th tier major leauge sport in most of North America is still pricing itself out of the market for the average fan to attend a game in most markets. But as long as corporate support remains strong and wealthier fans countinue to show up at the arena attendence should not be much of a concern.
