Winnipeg Attendance

[Bear of Bad News]

Because I didn’t live in the Bay Area. I lived in Ft. Lauderdale. The Panthers play in Sunrise, Florida (Broward county). Not in Miami (Dade county). Just stating facts.

Great, now we're getting somewhere.

A metropolitan statistical area is generally larger sized than just one county.

This is getting out of hand. I mean how many Canadian franchises need to struggle before the U.S. gets another team?

When was the last CDN expansion team, and how many US teams have been added since the last CDN one again?

Only one county per metro area, who would have guessed that.

idiots who don't understand math,. average ticket prices, seem to be common on this thread...

My favorite isd the guy who mentions the Jets have the lowest attendance in the league!!!!

yes that's what happens when you have the smallest arena...
question...Using average ticket price...who has more money?...Columbus at 85% capacity( 15,725) or Jets at 85% capacity(13022) ?

Need to know the average ticket prices

Yeah Canada aint ever getting another team.

I also doubt Winnipeg will be there in 10 years

No they won't. South of the border ownership make a ton miee money.
Back to Arizona if Gary gets his way.

 

[jokesondee]

Last year's average attendance in Winnipeg was 13,500 which was, not counting Arizona and their 5000 seat arena, the worst in the league.
The owners must have lost a shit ton of money last season and its not looking any better this year so far.
Filthy rich owners don't stay filthy rich by hanging on to money losing businesses.

LMFAO. Get your head out of your ass. The Jets have never lost money.

They stand to make an absolute fortune on the next round of expansion, too, never mind the bump in value of the franchise from it. The organization owns the arena, they own the surrounding real estate. TNSE will continue to make money with team in Winnipeg, while laughing about the now paltry $170 million it took them to get there. Relocation to increase gate revenues would cost them a fortune, and would require them to invest a billion+ to build an arena in that place. The team is going nowhere.

True North is a money making juggernaut. The Jets are going nowhere. Hell, the place could be damn near empty and True North would still turn a profit.

Crazy to see edmonton and la in front of some of the original 6 and bigger market teams ......

Likely because of the playoff revenue. So Montreal was 5th in the league, almost tied with the Rangers, with no playoff revenue last year which can be massive. If I recall from a few years ago, the Habs can make $1.5M NET per playoff game.

This was from a few season ago tho? 22/23 season revenue

Isn't it five? Florida, Buffalo, San Jose, Columbus, Arizona.

He's not including Arizona as they're no longer a team and it's not even close to justifiable to just mix Arizona and Utah as one.

The blue bombers had a big game the same night with over 30k people.

To be fair thr average ticket price to a CFL game is like 35 bucks.

Though, the CFL is getting more talented, so maybe kts higjer

Ten years from now there will be a team in Atlanta there won't be one in Winnipeg.

10 years after that Atlanta has lost their team again and the new commissioner hopefully isn't infatuated with failure.

Edmonton making the finals pretty much caused the cap to increase.

If Montreal, or Toronto make the finals it's HUGE for NHL revenue.

Montreal/Toronto vs any western Canadian team will have the cap going up a crazy amount.



Winnipeg's in a good spot as someone mentioned with their arena being paid off.

Winnipeg is in a bad spot because they need a bigger arena, but that likely means ticket prices go up and ticket prices in Canada at least are already stupid as f***.

Basically this.

Worst case scenario is that they don't sell 2000 of the cheapest (~ $100) tickets for half the home games (20) means that they'll have to find some other way to cover Alex Iafallo's $4.0M salary.

Winnipeg does NOT need a bigger arena. They complete various renos/upgrades every year. It costs the most to build a larger arena with more upper deck seats that are also the cheapest seats and therefore don't actually bring in as much revenue when you consider they have to pay off the freaking massive costs of building said gargantuan arena.
