Ticket/Attendance Discussion: The Sequel

The real concern is gov't leadership that is why the Canadian dollar is in the tank. Remember when the CDN dollar was at par ... what changed?

Not sure what you’re getting at here. The most dramatic decline of CDN$ occurred between 2011 and 2015.

The strong CDN dollar was one of the reasons why the Atlanta franchise moved to Winnipeg.
Dec 31 2011 CDN dollar 1.01
Dec 31 2012 CDN dollar 1.00
Dec 31 2013 CDN dollar .97 ... the decline started and we were warned

I don't understand how the businesses in Winnipeg do not support the Jets more ... without the Jets I'm pretty sure a lot of them would make less of a profit or maybe not even be in business. Every bar in Winnipeg that has the Jet games on the big screen should have season tickets and give them out to their patrons.
But seriously the Jets are the best team in the league it should bring happy times but no lets bring up doom and gloom.

The price of crude oil is what really changed. Inflation-adjusted it was at near-historic highs for almost a decade, until the bottom fell out of the oil market in mid-2014 and as a result, by 2015 the CAD had lost its steam.

If these tariffs go thru some are saying the dollar will fall even further. League might have to do something for the 7 markets who are at a disadvantage right now and could become even worse.
