Amazing attendence

Great news that they are doing well with attendance. I'm skeptical about this being in the top five though. I've seen an awful lot of empty seats in some of these games.

I’m starting to believe that the ramblings are in your own head.

Aren't the arenas only around 10k fans ?
No way it could be top 5 considering there's been 5 in NHL arenas. I think.

Well, Buffalo had both an NHL arena and an NFL stadium and still averaged only 7k.

Well, the Sweden games have been well attended which should be expected, as was the other semifinal and Canada’s games. Kudos to Canadian fans showing up in droves, I’m thinking that’s largely what carried a matchup like Canada - Germany to a crowd of 7 327. Also heard that a lot of the Canadians have stayed to watch games despite their team ousted early, that’s nice.
The mostly Swedish fans don’t seem as keen on watching neutral matches however.
Finland - Slovakia quarterfinals had 2480 in attendance. USA - Latvia, 2749. I think it’s sad that only 984 people attended a cool matchup like Czech Republic - Slovakia.
Me being used to SHL crowds isn’t as impressed by the comparatively uninspired chanting, but for what it is, of course I appreciate the emotion and enthusiasm from the fans. However, when the atmosphere during Sweden - Canada received praise from North American media, my immediate thought was “if you enjoyed this, you should stick around next time Färjestad visits Frölunda!”.

Let's starting getting these stats in %, not in absolute numbers.
Imho, if a tournament has an average capacity of, say, 9000, and average attendance of 8400, it's more worth than capacity 20'000 and attendance 10'000.

I had the exact same thoughts reading posts on here about the atmosphere at the games. I was in attendance for the Semis and thought it was tame. Saying that, lot's of nerves in the air for us Swedes.

Problem is that really only Swedes showed up. During some days there have been day tickets, which means you can watch both games in a rink, for that day. Which helped boost up the non-Sweden games in group A.
Sure, Canadians have showed up, but was still a very distant second in the group stage, as to be expected.
The Finnish, Slovakian, Czechian, and American support have been dreadful, which means group B attendence sucked. Only one game in that group had more attendence than the Norway - Latvia relegation game (games which usually have around the lowest attendence), and not by much.
