According to
www.arenamaps.com .....
Things I noticed:
- There are more Arenas in Canada (pop: < California), then in all 50 American states.
- How few arenas Quebec actually has compared to Ontario.
- How many arenas Minnesota has compared to just about every other state!
- Nashville has NHL hockey despite only having 10 arenas in the whole state, and Georgia has one too, despite only 11 arenas state-wide.
- Northwest Territories (pop: 43,000) has more arenas than nine U.S. States.
- Prince Edward Island (pop: 141,000) has more arenas than 29 U.S. States, including three states with NHL hockey).
