John Flyers Fan said:That's far from proven anywhere. The Caps until this past season, when they sold everyone off, had plenty of people to go see: Gonchar, Bondra, Kolzig, Jagr, and have been a good franchise for most of the last 20 years.
Other than Jagr's first year, when they had a big jump in attendance, the Caps have always had huge trouble drawing fans.
Even during the playoffs if the play the Flyers or Penguins, their building gets over run by the opponents fans.
I bet alot of Caps fans would argue the point you state above, that the Caps have been a good franchise for the last 20 years
they were on the right track until the screwed their fanbase and got Jagr...
they were building a winner, not with skill but with hard working players...Jagr changed all that and they raised ticket prices to boot
so they became a worse team and raised ticket prices...ya, a good franchise
they have also been losing 20-30 million every year since Ted took over...a good franchise?????
they now traded everyone, which pisses off the fans you do have...but a good franchise????
and its been proven in the NFL
check out Cincy or Seattle as examples
