Bur14Kes17 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I thought for sure Toronto would have been on that list, but ya think of how many people you can fit into a football or baseball stadium vs a hockey arena?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drybone Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I think so . Soccer is so huge in Europe its insane . They pack so many people in there. Hockey cant compete with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacekadet Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 I dont disagree with soccer. Soccer is probably the biggest sport in the world. It just surprises me that football Which i see as a purely American sport gets every team on their and not places like vancouver montreal boston ny toronto. I see hockey as a bigger global market than football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eretz canucks Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Canucks should move into bc place, they'd fill that no problem, 40,000 ppl for average home games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBCanucks Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 But that's not why the teams are valued so much higher, it is only because the NFL teams get a cut of the massive TV deals that the NFL has. About 2/3rds of all revenue comes from TV, with the other 1/3rd coming from ticket, jersey sales and other streams. The NFL knows how to sell it's product much better than any of the other North American sports, and the team owners are the beneficiaries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drybone Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I wonder if we could steal the team, hold them hostage, and sell them back. Don't worry, maybe if we only ask for 1 billion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLumme Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 As he said, NFL is way more popular than NHL. If NHL were popular it would have TV deals. Right now the only national broadcast deal the NHL has is NBC Sports and that is a premium only channel. There is a reason ESPN didn't renew their broadcast deal: nobody watches hockey in the US. The US market has the benefit of numbers, but put hockey fans in terms of the percentage of the population compared with other sports nobody cares. I don't even know if hockey beats out soccer down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
