Low attendance in Florida?

[Mike Martin]

I'm watching the replay of yesterday's Nashville game in Florida against the Panthers and I can't believe how empty the seats are and I'm talking empty seats in the prime good seat locations not far from the ice. Is Bettman concerned about this? How long can a franchise sustain that if it continues for several years?

This has definitely never been discussed here before.

Daily.

Thank you for bringing it to our attention.

I'd be a bit concerned if I were him... everything below 90% sellout is getting a bit critical, and they're at 62%

I believe the Panthers have a bar, (The Penalty Box) which is for certain ticket holders underneath the stands. They offer buffet, drinks and have screens to watch the games.

I think that's why those seats are often empty, all of the ticket holders are stuffing their faces.
