5 points out of 1st in the entire AHL, though they are tied with two other teams at 51 points but have played one less game.
Does anyone know how attendance is doing recently? Pierre?

Basically the same.
Friday games continue to bring in anywhere from 3400-3700 (mostly due to $2 beers and $1 hot dogs).
However, Saturdays generally bring in around 3000 whereas Sundays are usually less. Somewhere around 2800-3000.
Ryan Walter continues to come up with great promotional features. Most recently he's partnered up with Chevron where one can get 2 tickets and a $10 Chevron Gift Card for $35. That's a great deal, which works out to $12.50 a piece - the same price as students get.
Also, I've seen more Heat jerseys and various other types of clothing in the crowd than I've ever seen. So I figure that's a pretty good sign. Perhaps this team is catching on.
As much as I like to stay optimistic about the team, I know it likely will be a flop. It's too bad, but I'll enjoy them as long as I can while they're here.
