So we continue our look at NHL attendance this season. Our first look was at Home Attendance after 10 games, and here’s our 2nd update after 20 home games for each team. A NY snow storm dropped the Isles attendance below 10,000, but after their next home game, they were above. We’ve included teams attendance after 10 games, as well as the last couple years.

Can help but be happy for the STL Blues..
#2 by cutiepink at May 12th, 2011
This attendance of games is so important because number especially for the bottom 15 are totally fictitious do they really expect us to believe that the coyotes play to that number..Thank you!!

Goes to show how important attendance is on revenues and out right survival.
To expand on this point, look no further than the bottom of the list. Islanders are getting a new barn, only a matter of time until the Yotes get sold, and the thrashers are now the Jets.
