Well the way it looks Peoria has one more year left with the AHL maybe rockford following suit.
I went to peoria alot to watch the flames play and hated it every time I went to that dump. Peoria attendance was 10 fold worse that qc and they announced 5k a game when maybe 1k in the stands. Now that Cat has pulled sponsorship (or atleast last year) and a nice 2500 crowd last night they are on life support.
I have a feeling stl will move the team to stl area. Family arena were the river otters played back in the UHL days.
