me2 said:The problem for Winnipeg is not the number of hockey fans, its got more than many of the NHLs US cities. The problem is the number of hockey fans that can afford $40-50 a ticket and also the number of businesses that can afford boxes.
There is exactly the issue.
As anyone in Toronto can attest, the game is not for the masses anymore, it is for the rich, and for corporations. Winnipeg has a small population of affluent citizens who could afford the average NHL ticket price on a regular basis.
