good point as well... cheapest tickets in the building aren't even selling.... online sites have tickets AND parking passes at a discount... still too pricey...BS. 30$ seats are Joe Fans job. Corporations don' buy those to entertain clients. Seriously dude
I would just like to reiterate for everyone... personally I am not a huge melnyk fan. I believe there are things he has done very very wrong. my list does NOT include internal budget on team salary and stadium prices. employing the smallest hockey ops team IS one of them... these guys aren't making millions of dollars and if he wants to have a a whole cost per point idea with our team HE MUST employ smart people in Hockey ops. more scouts more everything. and people will say "well fans have to go to games!" we go to games "enough" for him to invest a tad more than what he is.. in this business where players makes obssceeeeennne amounts of money you cant penny pinch everywhere. a few more guys at 80-110 grand aren't going to sink the franchise. (I believe that's what theyre making on average).
So Im stuck in a sort of middle ground. I believe we support the team ENOUGH that we should have a more vast hockey ops group, but I do not think we support enough that we should expect th team to spend like crazy.
and I think enough has been said about the prices around the rink.. really not much to complain about there
