Smaller is better has also been proved in baseball, in the 70's everybody was building 60k and up, look at all the new baseball stadiums they are all under 50k. Only Coors field and Dodger stadium seat over 50k of all mlb stadiums. Even the older parks have been downsized.
Most teams have only played 1 home game some still to play one. FLA/ARZ both sold out their home openers and they seem to be not bad teams to start the season, but there markets will decline in attendance as the season goes on.
5k more fans then Nassau.
Barclay's seats 15,795 for hockey second smallest in the NHL, Nassau 16,170 . Revenue also very limited as the Brooklyn Nets are the main tenant. By the way attendance for today's game was 11,183.
Second smallest NHL arena next to us, was built for basketball one end looks really weird, if they want to stay in NY really need to build something back in Long Island
Lots of Jets played well tonight but Stafford was solid as was Burmi though he will still frustrate us at times. Pavs kept us in it in the first and wasvery good the rest of the game. Defense needs to tighten it up, Lowry is going to a tough guy for other teams to play against. Ehlers is fast and slick. Thorbs played well as did Copp. Trouba's a beast even though he plays with a boat anchor.
Every time Mulcair speaks he just sounds so forced, contrived almost like even he doesn't believe what he's saying. Goodbye to him and good riddance to the Manitoba NDP's.
Hawerchuk can here as a 18 year old and put this franchise on his back. Us old timers memory may be fading but there's no comparison between the two as far a being a Jet is concerned. For me Temmu had a great rookie season that took the city over, but Selanne will always be know as a Anaheim Duck.
True North will never issue #10 just a courtesy to the best NHL jet. As for Hull simply put No Bobby Hull no WHA, no WHA no Jets 1.0 in the NHL. As for Hull his reputation is spotty at best, not the nicest person in the world but time has mellowed him. I wonder if his ex wife still has shards of glass in her @#$
Payroll is lower this season than the two before, right at MLB average.
Nice of MLB to schedule the Jays ALDS home games during weekday afternoons so nobody can watch.
Nobody cares about the Blue Jays in the States, ratings in Canada mean nothing to american broadcasters
In the end it's all about managing your roster, who you can send down, who you can waive and lose, who you can trade. Lipon will get his chance this year but he is the odd man out. Things can change though until the rosters are set we won't know for sure.
