About the same figure as it is right now in Glendale, with a smaller arena during a time when average NHL attendance was a lot less than it is today. Winnipeg averaged 73.5% capacity in their final year (which I agree is bad, but today you have a couple beams below that mark without a threat of relocation), while Phoenix has operated around 60%. Not to mention Winnipeg played in an old decrepit building.
There's a decent crowd for the Nucks game Tuesday because of a huge Canuck fan contingent going to the game. We have fans following the team on our road trip, as evidenced by the game against the Kings and Ducks.
Yes, but my point is, and you allude to it earlier on in this post, that the fans can control this to a degree. No business person is going to relocate a team, or not be interested in purchasing a team, that's being well supported by its fans and generating healthy revenues. This has been the story in Phoenix since it arrived from Winnipeg. Why would the next 3-5 years be any different? And I think that's probably why GWI has a huge concern over the parking rights. If the current fan support trend continues, there's no possible way that the revenue generated from the parking rights will reach the levels that the CoG would need to at least break even.
