mew1838 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2006 Its sad to see empty seats in NHl games such as those in Conntinental Airlines Arena. The devils are a pretty damn good team, why can't they fill their arena? Even the sharks here play to 95% capacity most of the time. It just hurts my heart to see that hockey is never gonna be like football or maybe NBA. The islander also has poor attendance..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pantherfan 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2006 Yeh I was watching a Red Wings game at the weekend I think and the announcer said it was a sellout crowd but 1/2 the lower tier was empty and then he mentioned something about an MLB game (or some other high publicity sport) being on at the same time and taking the fans away, and I thought if I had already paid for my ticket there'd be no way in hell that I would just leave it there for somebody to just come and steal it, I would have at least given it away to a mate.

Most of those tickets are company tickets and go unused, not given away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
