With the lock out over and the new season about to begin. Has the fan base been lost in some of the American citiesYes I think so but could they just be moved to better markets how about Houston, Kansas City Cleveland Portland Seatle???
NHL Fan Base>
- Thread starter necko
- Start date
Here's an idea, why not tell the 5-6 US markets with low attendence that the two of them with the lowest attendance figures over a two year period, are going to be relocated to Winnipeg and Quebec. (assuming issues of leases etc can be dealt with) Then we'll see if they have a fan base or not.
Portland could have a team, but i wouldn't want to see a hockey team in Seattle. The Canucks have many supporters that live just across the line. If Seattle gets a team we would lose these fans and the revenue they bring in to the Canucks.
There are quite a few Americans that attend Canuck games and spend money North of the border.
