Are the managers of the MTS centre just so much smarter than the managers of the PHx arenas? The people of Winnipeg have so much more entertainment $? The bands and shows just like Winnipeg as a venue so much more than Phx.
The absolute only reason that Phx would even be considered to have an NHL team in the first place is that there is more than 4 times the population of cities like Calgary, Winnipeg, Edmonton, Ottawa and Quebec.
Now you are telling me that this megalopolis that has a larger population than all of Alberta doesn't support basically anything!!!!
Wish the NHL would have gotten you to do the marketing study before they gave Phx a franchise.

Okay, so you're, I don't know, Ke$ha. If you can sell out 2 or 3 shows in a city of 4.2 million, are you gonna do the show at the convenient downtown location that everyone can get to, or are you gonna do it at the building that's out in the suburbs populated entirely with snowbirds and retirees who wouldn't go see your show anyway?
Regardless, they have made the playoffs now for three straight seasons. They are still giving away tickets to playoff games, and they still averaged about 6000 people per TV broadcast.
Stick a fork in them.
