People don't show up because not enough of them care. There has been no announcement and no writing on the wall that they are about to leave like in Winnipeg and in Quebec City and there is no comparison to Phoenix's situation and Calgary's and Edmonton's during the 90s. The Flames were hampered by the Canadian dollar and couldn't compete while the Coyotes can compete but still fans won't come out to the games.
They have a great arena, they have the American dollar, they have a good team, they have the backing of the CoG and the commissioner, and they have 5M people to draw from. They still can't make it work.
