me either. i really liked the ones i've seen.
well, lets look at this with a little bit of depth. (Now this is how I understand it, as best as I know.)
for those that don't know
the gate receipts are handled very differently from a indoor games compared to a out door game
The home team gets:
: John Collins, the NHL’s chief operating officer, said the wild success of Philadelphia’s game amounts to a new phenomenon. The NHL takes over management of the main Winter Classic matchup, handing over to the host club the equivalent of the money raised from a sold-out home game
The NHL war chest (owners) skim off ALL the gravy on top
now if this is any indicator :
the average cost of a ticket at last year's winter classic was about $500, the highest rate in five years (the cheapest ticket listed at $268). As of December 3, the cheapest ticket on StubHub for the 2015 Winter Classic is $215, with club seats going for as much as $2800. Gillette Stadium holds about 25,000 more people that Washington, DC's Nationals Park (where it was held in 2015), so the NHL is poised to make much more money.
Of what those 5 games would cost here to attend
Ummm yup, maybe I revise my prediction upon further review
NHL proper sinks it's greedy teeth into the GTA cash cow(again) and gets 5 bowls of gravy, all the while trying to shill us the "here is your 100th gift"
Yup!!!!!!!! that sounds totally betmen in my books.
