Teams like Toronto, Edmonton, Pitt, NYR etc, sure are leaving a lot of money on the table. I think they would sell out 22,000 arena’s.
#2 by Mark Easson at March 14th, 2011
I was surprised when they built the ACC that they went under 20,000.

How do the Hawks get that extra 8.1% capacity . . . bathroom urinals make excellent Chicago-style seating.

Remember when the built the ACC? It was originally for the Raptors and the Maple Leafs were proposing a different site/arena if I recall. When MLSE bought the basketball team and ACC they modified it to make it suitable for hockey. If the building were designed for hockey from the start it would probably have seated more…

These number especially for the bottom 15 are totally fictitious- do they really expect us to believe that the coyotes play to that number-?
