i posted this in the hamilton thread as well, but thought it might be worth discussing here too....for those who think that a 15 000 seat arena is too small to support NHL hockey.
if an NHL team in winnipeg sold out every game (15 000), it would only take an average ticket price of $65 US to be in the top 10 for ticket revenues....edmonton averages $70 and is in 8th.
you could even average 14 000 per game at $65 per ticket and be in the top 12 for ticket revenues.
phoenix averaged $30 per ticket last year.
