Fans of visiting teams don't watch local Coyote broadcasts, buy Coyote merchandise etc. "13,000" fans in the arena misrepresents how large the Coyote audience truly is. Sure, it is good to have people in the building, but a marketing plan that is focused on the fans of visiting teams is not long for this world.
