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.

Yeah I'm afraid you're right. I've gone to quite a few games and the place is almost empty. The thing I like best is being able to get close to ice level without much of a problem. The thing w/ Peoria is there aren't many hockey fans here. The few hockey fans I know are at the school down here. Out of those few fans, most are split between the Blackhawks and Blues, but I know of more Blackhawks fans than Blues fans here. Unless you're a die-hard fan of the Blues, you don't know many of the players on the team, so there's not a lot of interest. I'm not sure how Rockford is, I've never been.
