Hawker is kicking ur a** in this debate yet you have nothing to say to him. Instead you pick on Jets 4 Life with your false stats and obvious bias against Winnipeg.

Your right a city like Phoenix always had a hard time keeping all seats occupied in all 4 major league sports facilities; imo the 'yotes will dissapear from there new venue and the suns will move there.
When the wpg arena was expanded from 10, 700 to 15, 500, There were about 2000 obstructed views. These were called the nosebleed section, all you could see was the rafters. In turn it resulted in alot of unsatisfied paying customers.

Buddhaful said:Suns just updated AWA to State-of-the-art similar to Glendale arena. That will be the Suns home for many years.
I sit here stunned tonight to read that wpg arena had 2,000 obstructed view seats!!!
??? Are you kidding me???
I was here (Phx) when they moved here & know they (Burke & Gluckstern) didn't test for any seating layouts prior to signing the deal with Colangelo and AWA. Then the Morons realized they were stuck with 3,500 obstructed seats. I always thought that was stupid, but to find out it happened after coming from the same situation in Winnipeg is absolutely brainless!!
Golden Ducky said:yeah no kidding, its funny how it worked out eh.
Really the suns have there arena updated to like most new arenas, I didn't know that. I thought they eventually needed a new one.
nucks&flames said:Apparently the new arena has left room to expand I heard somewhere. From all these arguements, I have taken from it that WInnipeg could be just as fine a hockey city as lots of ones that are already in this league, with a good system of course.
I also took from those attendance figures - why on earth does Quebec not have an NHL team? I've always been told they were a great hockey town, and they were above average attendance more than half of the time, so can anyone tell me this?

Mayor of MacAppolis said:but the expansion of the old Winnipeg arena was blamed for the poor sight lines. Again, those who fal to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Winnipeg Is an AHL city, not NHL.
BTW, the crime numbers were backed up but Buffaloed deleted them for those who would like to believe that Winnipeg isn't any more dangerous than any other Canadian city (3.4 murders per 100 000 people in Winnipeg vs the Canadian average of 1.7)
