I think we all agree that the turnstile count in the last three years, plus this, is nowhere near 11,000 per game. The team, post-bankruptcy, is still drawing significantly lower numbers than it was pre.
I am not trying to argue that Coyotes attendance is good, because it is not. I am simply saying that the argument "draw more fans and you have a better chance to find stable ownership" is circular becasue the attendance decline is a result of the instability in ownership rather than a cause of it.

You say attendance decline as if the fans they had pre-bankruptcy were appealing enough for ownership. 12,100 tickets sold and 2,500 tickets given away resulting in 12,000 fans showing up to a game is what caused the instability in ownership. So you're right that it is cyclical, just remember where the cycle starts: the lack of fans.
