gurn Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 move the team to Powell River- we only have 1,700 seats but we would fill them to watch some NHL hockey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EP Phone Home Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 26 minutes ago, mll said: People first thought that the crowd would be electric being in a campus setting for young drunk students to enjoy. How can anyone expect this arena to fill up with those prices? Students have their tuitions to worry about let alone $3,649 minimum season tickets price tag. $89 bucks to get in per game? Gary and the yotes owners must be dipping into the Peyote and licking their chops again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down by the River Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 33 minutes ago, mll said: Basically 3100 corporate seats and 2,000 seats for rich snowbirds. What a joke. What an insult to fans of hockey in Arizona. This should be the laughing stock of professional sports but hockey is so irrelevant that people won't even notice. If I'm a billionaire owner of the other 31 teams, I'm furious that I'm basically subsidizing this joke of a franchise through revenue sharing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goal:thecup Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Bettman must really have the BOG by the short and curlies. And not a peep out of the other teams? I do not know the facts, but I believe most(?) junior teams in Canada play in larger rinks. Cancel their franchise and move the bits to a hockey mad market. Hell, I don't even care if it is in Canada or the States anymore. Just give up on this Arizona/Phoenix crap Gary. Your underwear is showing more than Matthews'. Stinky, stinky, stuff Buttman.

Corporations don't like losing teams... it isn't a good vibe to go to see games where your local team gets shellacked every night and everyone is depressed by the end. They will continue to get folks from visiting teams attend games... but at these prices it is going to be a half empty building still. They should have at least had a bunch of nosebleeds for cheap to get college kids in to bring some energy to the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes these corporate tickets are used to take partners to an event as what I remember some folks from our Company were taken to watch the San Jose Shark home games. You don't want to take your business partners to a sports game whose Arena is suited more for a minor league team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are better off buying tickets to college sports in that area as alumni will be excited to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering how they are going to protect people without having netting over the entire thing, its such a tiny space. Its going to be a gong show. What free agent is going to want to go there? Maybe Megna can get a 3milx4 deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
