See, I understand the argument against Phoenix, and I actually agree with it. The market is very unlikely to ever be profitable.However, making complete bullcrap up doesn't lend strength to your argument. In truth, it only hurts it.
There isn't a single junior team in the entire CHL that matches Phoenix's announced attendance. And hell, if you wanted to argue that the Coyotes really only average
half of what they claim, you're looking at only Calgary and Vancouver from the WHL that can top that. Maybe Spokane. And
maybe Edmonton, though they had tons of games with less than 3000 fans in the door, so I doubt it.
